Clocks
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.

Clocks captures the passage of time with an inventive blend of ambient tones and subtle mechanical textures. It opens with a steady, metronome-like pulse, using organic percussion and the quiet chime of kalimba to establish a sense of inevitability—time ticking forward. Minimalist piano adds both harmony and a gentle touch of bass, giving the track a somber, pensive character. The atmosphere is hollow and hypnotic, shifting between lulling calm and gentle tension without ever breaking its steady flow.
The soundscape unfolds in a stable, understated way—never dramatic, but quietly captivating. Ambient layers and nuanced production keep the mood noir, mysterious, and slightly unsettling. Each element is placed with care so the piece evokes suspense and reflection yet never overwhelms the listener or the edit.
Clocks works beautifully under drama and thriller scenes, as well as suspenseful film scores, psychological horror, or investigative podcasts. Its minimalist design and moody undertones also fit crime stories, memory montages, or magical realism sequences. For those searching for haunting, time-themed royalty-free music, this is a subtle but memorable choice.
