Full of intensity and drama with a cinematic sheen.

Subtly finished with a light arpeggiated piano theme, it's a dynamically diverse piece covering many moods, but always within the realm of intense cinematic action.

This ambient hip hop track describes a stressed atmosphere in narrative and authentic way.

A full time workout for the arpeggiator and a deep, pulsing buzz bass take us back in time for a retro vision of the future, with lots of textures and effects to add a cinematic touch. Grand and expansive in its production, the main theme remains the simple arpeggiated chord progression, generating ideas of sci-fi mystery and wonder in a fast developing digital world.

A tense action epic. The title may be a bit misleading if you're expecting the classic John Williams score, but there's certainly dramatic tension and plenty of big screen atmosphere. Accentuated off-beat rhythms using percussion and strings, raspy brass swells and enhancing woodwinds all contribute to an edgy, pointed piece with a dark and sinister side.

Melodic percussion set to a mysterious ambient soundtrack. With a strong gamelan influence, it certainly has an ethnic feel to it, but mixed with a cinematic piano releasing deep overtones and soaked in reverb it takes on a more modern feel. Light, gentle and calming, with a sense of tension and suspense, it is rhythmically steady and continuously moving forward.

Soothing but mysterious orchestral track. Arpeggiated piano and strings start classically, but a theremin lead takes things to an unexpected level of mystical contrast.

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.

Techno rock action theme. Led by a heavy electric bass riff, built on with string and synth shorts. Contrast is created by electro-funk breakdowns for an overall cinematic and slightly industrial feel. A modern and energetic track which packs a dramatic punch.

Making good use of cutting synth and string themes for suspense, and a deep, pulsing beat for tension and movement, there remains space for a piano melody to add progressive interest with a deliberately vague and ambiguous feel. An overall steady and tense piece that creates a mysterious, thrilling landscape.

An epic thriller theme with electrifying orchestral strings and heart pounding percussion
