Slightly mysterious retro rock theme. Acoustic guitar and female oohs feature over a solid drum beat before brass enters for a South American feel and a searing synth lead takes over. Part psychedelia, part spaghetti Western, it's a downbeat track with melancholic vibes.

Dreamy, spaced out indie ballad. Unhurried and intimate, the soulful vocals float over a lazy backing of drums, bass, guitar and theremin to form a hypnotic and repetetive experience. Super chilled and easy going, with smooth, intimate vocal harmonies and melodies, it's one to take your time with on your long journey into outer space.

A soft, melancholic acoustic track, featuring guitar, piano and strings. Opening with arpeggiated guitar accompanying a simple, yearning melody, the piece plays on the theme as it builds with piano and eventually the legato strings to solidify the overall ambience of regret. Bittersweet in its mood, with lots of question/answer phrasing, the piece is a thoughtful study of a traumatised mind.

Moody indie rock track, built on a bed of palm muted guitar, wailing synth, laid back bass and steady rock drums. Intimate male vocals help create the atmospheric and melancholic feel. It stays hypnotically stable throughout, adding a slight intensity and angst towards the end as the synth lead developes.

Epic dubstep using orchestral hybrid and electro elements. A slamming beat, keyboard stabs and synth sub bass lay the foundations for the epicness to grow - more animated leads, more strings and a huge sonic wave of big brass to really cement its place as a hard hitting, cinematic track full of action, tension and cutting drama.

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.

A sentimental rock track with spacey lead guitar. Major use of tremolo and a big drum beat create movement in an otherwise slower paced piece. An optimistic mood, with a reflective tone.

Lonesome acoustic track - either revelling in its tranquil solitude, or slowly sinking into its desperate acceptance of perpetual loneliness, depending on your point of view. In any case, it's a gentle acoustic guitar/harmonica track with a country, cowboy flavour beautifully crafting a special atmosphere of the remote Wild West. Or remote anywhere for that matter.

If you like your epic orchestral tracks with a heavy dose of sound design, this is the one. With all the usual cinematic tricks of string ostinato, huge brass lines and strong rhythmic accentuation, this adds an evident electro synth element right at the front. Sweepers, drops and pulses abound, it maintains its hybrid style for a relentless adrenalin fuelled attack of drama, tension and grandiose intrigue.

A little bit of country mixed with an awful lot of urban grit. Slick guitar riffs play off a hard hitting beat to create a kinda laid back groove with a sultry cowboy swagger. A simple motif, and pared down instrumentation, but still enough to capture a steely, rugged and badass vibe.

The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

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.  

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

A dark, mysterious-sounding ambient track featuring a celeste lead and a beautiful string ensemble

Contemporary classical duet for piano and flute. Slightly ethereal, slightly playful, its diversity mainly comes from rhythmic changes, dynamic variety and chordal dissonance. Soft, dreamy passages lead to fast, aggressive hits and steady rolling motifs change to uneven, juxtaposed off-beat rhythms to form a modern, classical piece that hints at a sombre, downtrodden mood with a carefree, optimistic side.

Slow building, cinematic orchestral piece. Immediately dramatic and intense, through single repeated piano notes and suspenseful violin harmonics, there's an ethnic edge in the instrumentation merging with strings and oboe as the piece turns darker with rich bass and dissonant textures. Ambient and brooding throughout with a tragic, heroic feel to the second half due to a sweeping string and brass melody accompanied by added timpani and rhythm, it remains a calm yet slightly unsettling piece with outstanding tension.

Mystical EDM track. Atmospheric pads, deep bass and fast, repeated keyboard patterns mix with a light techno beat for a dramatic, futuristic vision of another world. Abstract and high-tech, energetic yet soothing, it's a piece that creates a powerful and evocative mood.

A dramatic orchestral underscore with slow string swells and an overall suspenseful, dramatic feel

Indie garage rock song, with lots of added synth grit. Steady paced and rock solid, it features a cool bass groove over a strong beat with off beat electric guitar and warped synth textures and leads. Background vocals add harmony to the main male vocal, growing more distorted throughout the song for a dirty, lo-fi effect that adds intensity and interest to a track full of swagger and attitude.  

Dark suspense track. With gothic overtones thanks to the choral themes and cinematic fantasy thanks to the repeated glockenspiel and piano motifs, the horror seeds are planted early on to generate the brooding atmosphere. With a deep, rolling bass line and booming percussion enhanced by synth drops, brass rasps and jagged strings, it soon becomes a nightmarish mix of ominous energy and overwhelming helplessness.
