Banjo groove rock with a lo-fi feel. Simple but effective, what starts as a bluegrass banjo riff soon turns into a deep bass groove with a rock steady drumbeat. Vintage vinyl crackle adds warmth and character, a touch of slide guitar and vocals adds variety, and sporadic banjo licks keep us rooted in old time country territory. A cool, laidback swagger with a mix of old and new.

Atmospheric soundscape. Eerie sounding, and slightly sinister in feeling, it creates an impending tension through drones, dissonant tones and high pitched sounds before breaking into a pulsing section with sub bass hits and shrill synth textures. Dangerous and full of suspense, it paints an uneasy picture of unknown worlds and lurking doom.

Hectic and chaotic cinematic orchestral track. Hitting the listener with diverse rhythms and playing styles from all angles, from off-beat choral chants to random instruments stabs and percussive hits, it creates an unsettling and jarring effect throughout. An underlying double bass line unerringly marches on to give a stable bed to the devilishly playful madness going on above, creating an uneasy and threatening hostility that never relents. High energy tension for the slightly deranged.

Urban orchestral hybrid track. Aggressive string ostinato mixes with a modern hip hop beat and synth textures for a powerful, punchy track that's both cinematic and dramatic. Well paced with constant movement from the beat, and variety from the interplay between orchestra, synth and percussion, it's a dynamic piece with a feeling of strength and determnation.

Deeply reflective piano piece with a calm, minimalist approach. Not a lot of notes, but a lot of rich ambience, diverse emotions and mood from shimmering overtones and swathes of reverb - simplicity and soul-searching would be the only key words for this one. And maybe remorse. And a little hope. And solitude. And peaceful mystery. And I should stop now.

A dark, ambient cinematic theme, with edgy pulses, drones, echoing beats and creepy textures. Gently animated by a delayed rhythmic momentum, it is rich and soft, with ominous chordal progressions and a variety of synth tones weaving a seductive web around the brooding lair that it creates - a mysterious dark hole full of tension and curiosity.

Cinematic hybrid track with an ever shifting mood. Starting gently with strings and horns, it gives an impression of mellow reflection which soon turns more sinister with the introduction of bolder brass and timpani. It turns once again, with solo violin making a yearning, mournful appearance over string ostinato before becoming more rock styled through a prominent electric bass line and percussive beat. With the suspense and intensity building, the string melody becomes dominant, spearheading the epic final assault and resulting in a piece that delivers drama, mystery and contrast.

Dramatic and tense orchestral trailer music. Great variety and build up thanks to the dynamic instrumentation and rhythms, from deep string shorts to trombone slides, violin marcato passages to industrial percussive impacts and choral backing to piano hits, it's all there. Slightly dark with an aggressive sense of action and suspense, it's hybrid cinematic music doing its atmospheric best.

Frantic, nervy, edgy - this is a real orchestral epic full of tension and 20th Century classical leanings. Making full use of textural string swarms, brass stabs and an underlying percussive accent, it manages to build to an action blockbuster feel, with dramatic mania from woodwind flurries and an overall dynamism that never settles. Very engaging and wonderfully executed.

Atmospheric background mood music with piano, harp and strings. Based around a rolling, arpeggiated piano and harp theme, the first half remains simple and uncomplicated. Introducing legato and staccato strings with a pizzicato bass for the second half, and soft woodwinds later, adds a broader orchestral dynamic and interest whilst maintaining the dreamlike ambience and perpetual expression of rainfall.

Cinematic dubstep with a promise to explode - but doesn't. A great tension builder with a foreboding intensity that grows through palm muted electric guitars, epic horns and synth textures. Mixing orchestral themes with aggressive rock and a slamming beat generates the powerful anticipation. After that, it's up to you where you position it, but it can hit hard.

Electronic pop track with a retro Eighties feel featuring a driving synth bass and a melodic guitar lead

Moody tension builder that constantly shifts direction and flavour whilst maintaining its gripping minimalist core. Based around a light, bouncing piano motif, the key changes, instrumentation and electro sound design regularly turn down a side street as the music tries to evade being locked down to any single identity. Mysterious, intriguing and almost playfully evasive, it's an ambient piece that keeps you on your toes whilst sitting confidently in the background.

With an urban music style and powerful orchestral elements this electronic track displays an epic transformation.

A mystifying mix of styles, instruments and languages. Hypnotic and psychedelic in a trip hop style, with a cinematic arthouse flavour nodding to the bizarre, there is a constant progression and evolution that captivates and envelopes the listener. Using melodica melodies for an eerie fun, futuristic theremin for a sci-fi wierdness and random sound effects to unsettle, there's arpeggiated classical guitar and funk bass for a taste of the traditional familiar, as well as vibraphone, chimes, and piano to sprinkle their charm over the spectrum of diversity. Add in intimate and agonised vocals and you have the complete recipe for a journey into a weird and wonderful world.

Industrial background track. Heavily synth based with a hard driving beat, it also has a digital, tech feel as well as the overall urban soundscape it creates. With no lead line to rely on, the main atmosphere comes from a deep, rolling bass powered by the pounding drums and enhanced by varied synth textures, from fast arpeggios to warped single note lines to thick organ chords. Slightly dark and gritty, with a relentless feel of industrial progress.

A trippy, ethereal ambient background track with white noise and synth textures evoking a mysterious, uncertain mood

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.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

A dark and brooding track of epic, cinematic menace. Mixing the deep tones of beating synths with the power of orchestral brass for a slow burning theme, the creeping doom draws closer with ever growing layers of strings and driving rhythms. A dramatic tension builder with something lurking in the shadows.
