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

Horror soundscape theme. What starts as an atmospheric horror build up of risers, metal hits, orchestral swarms and harmonics, harp glissandi and random percussive elements finally breaks into a short, off-beat orchestral string theme. Diabolically dramatic with no sense of tempo but a strong sense of tension, it's a track to catch you off guard and keep you guessing.

Dark, mysterious piece with an urban/industrial loop and synth pad.

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.

Stylish take on a trap beat. Featuring a classic hip hop/trap beat, the instrumentation gives a more cinematic feel, with ambient, reverbed piano themes and orchestral string backing. It is the synth lead however that is the most prominent, as it interplays with the deep bass, chord stabs and vocal samples to create a mysterious sounding track, fresh and intriguing with a sense of curiosity.

Epic orchestral theme. String ostinato is progressively joined by more percussion, brass and choir to build into a dramatic finale. Centred around the main repeating string motif, the style is intense and impending while the percussion gives a modern, hybrid edge to the music.  

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

Ethereal and mysterious classical piece. Woodwinds accompany a celeste theme to open, followed by more diversity from the orchestra as the track unravels. Slow and creeping, creating suspense and wonder in equal measure, it's a simple yet well crafted work with a cinematic touch.

The clock is ticking and the sound promises secrets and tension.

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.  

A thrilling orchestral cinematic track with powerful brass and strings sections, evoking a sense of action, suspense and adventure

80s inspired synth pop track. High energy from the drums and bass, with heavily reverbed keyboard and guitar lead being the melodic focus. Fast arpeggiated synth patterns, sweeps and risers add to the retro vibe. Key modulations between sections give a sense of movement and progression throughout the piece. The main repeated theme gives off a sense of mystery and intrigue.

A dynamic orchestral theme featuring ethnic percussion, powerful strings and deep timpani strikes

A fast paced, characterful orchestral string ensemble piece. Lots of interwoven rhythmic play, as the intricacy of the string parts dominates the overall stuttered and tense mood. Gritty and nervous for the majority, with a calming middle section that rebuilds to the original skittish theme, the use of dissonance, changing tempo and off-beat accents highlights the intended drama and suspense, making this perfect for thriller, noir and horror genres.

Soft and intimate soundtrack for emotional uplifting and romantic atmospheres with an epic fantasy touch.
