Mysterious and tense hybrid track. With fantasy elements and gothic overtones from the use of sparkling glockenspiel and operatic vocals, the piece marries various moods whilst always suggesting an impending danger and wonder. Running synth phrases, electric guitar stabs and shrill legato strings complement the rich and diverse landscape, backed by a strong and steady drum beat. A supernatural and mystical revelation.

A dark orchestral epic theme with increasing intensity and a soft finale

Inventive and raw ambient track. With a metronomical rhythm created from organic and percussive tones enhanced by mechanical sounds, a sense of tonality comes from the minimalist piano adding the slightest of bass feels and harmony. Somber and pensive in atmosphere, with a lulling calmness in amongst the tension, as the title suggests, time ticks on, and the piece reflects a hypnotic and hollow sounding illusion of an ever present constant. Intriguingly captivating for what is essentially a soundscape.

Enchanting orchestral epic. Magical and mysterious in its gently flowing piano lines and shimmering high strings, it builds on the theme with faster string ostinato and legato melodies, gradually turning into a deeper, more epic interpretation with added brass, woodwind and percussion. Without limiting yourself to the fantasy genre as it works for many other situations, think more 'fairies and elves showing their powers' than 'horsemen of the apocalypse'.

Modern trap/hip hop track with a prominent 80s style synth lead. Mixing the 2 styles creates a mysterious ambiguity, the modern laid back urban beat constantly being questioned by the retro-futuristic sounds of the synth. Add in the warped vocal samples, breaks and textures, and you get a slightly dark, stylish track with sinister yet chilled undertones.

Featuring sounds of a mechanical and futuristic fantasy atmosphere.

Orchestral hybrid tension builder. Starting purely synth based with rapid arpeggiated chords, the intensity subtly and gradually increases with added electro bass, then choir, then industrial drum beat. String and brass stabs highlight the dramatic mood, swells enhance the suspense and the ceaseless underlying rhythm racks up the tension til the end. Cinematic action with a strong electro presence.

A heart-pounding orchestral suspense builder featuring dark wind instruments, whispers and a piano climax

A downbeat suspense theme. Brushed drums and a falling piano sequence create a sense of longing, added strings and pads help to build the intensity. Solo cello subtly creates extra melancholy and nostalgia.

Ambient tension builder and countdown, with a very time-based, percussive feel. Lightweight and unobtrusive, yet intense enough to generate a feeling of time pressure, it uses a clicking beat, digital style arpeggio background, a repeated xylophone motif and a soft pad to create a short theme perfect for news themes, audio logos and quiz countdowns.

Deep and brooding soundscape made up of sub bass tones and synth design elements. Minimalist and airy with a sinister and impending tension.

Futuristic, synth heavy trap instrumental. A familiar trap style beat, a simplistic theme, but given the epic treatment with fat synth tones and shovels of grit in the bass. Lots of variation in the lead sounds gives it an ever changing dynamism as it builds from thin, high pitched intro to the full, rich wall of sound body. Something dark and a little different here.

Adventurous electronic music with orchestral elements that builds up with dubstep elements

A heart-pounding, thrilling orchestral segment featuring ethnic percussion hits, tense strings and cinematic sound elements

Just drums. Jazz drums. With brushes. Not a drum solo, but a steady, grooving jazz beat that shows off the subtleties like ghost notes and accentuations whilst maintaining a fast paced, metronomic precision. Slight build ups and drop outs create tension and suspense making this useful for generating certain ambiences.

Fast paced, energetic jazz track. With its fleet-footed, almost nervous, intensity thanks to the drums and double bass, this light track also features strong off-beat accents and syncopation to generate an urgent sense of movement. Piano and flute feature heavily in the leads and delicate high strings create suspense - all combining to achieve a sophisticated mood of unresolved tension.

Epic cinematic rock track. Go heavy on the sub bass and overdriven synths, add some wild growls and a rock steady drum beat, then twist in some dramatic effects to turn the savage dial up to 10. Sinister goings-on from a warped perspective in the darkest of post apocalyptic times. Did I forget to mention the creepy girl whispering in your ear? She didn't forget about you, and she's watching from the shadows.........

A hard hitting, cinematic powerhouse of a track - epic in nature but with an added dissonance to turn the feeling away from the usual majesty and heroism and towards the unnerving, foreboding and impending aggression. Massive drum hits, solid brass punches and a relentless synth bass pulse converge with ever growing marcato strings to develop into a solid paced expression of force.

Tense orchestral track. Unsettling offbeats and ominous descending themes, mixed with fast, jagged strings, create a world of swirling intensity that cycles round, only momentarily pausing at times to rebuild again. Supported by a backbeat of percussive hits and interjecting brass stabs, it has high energy and movement with a strong gothic, epic feel.
