Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

Enchanting orchestral epic. Magical and mysterious in its gently flowing piano lines and shimmering high strings, it builds on the theme with faster string ostinato and legato melodies, gradually turning into a deeper, more epic interpretation with added brass, woodwind and percussion. Without limiting yourself to the fantasy genre as it works for many other situations, think more 'fairies and elves showing their powers' than 'horsemen of the apocalypse'.

Rhythmically and musically diverse orchestral piece. Interesting to the point of experimentation due to the dissonances and jerky rhythms, it is inherently a classically inspired composition with 20th Century music influences. A sense of the bizarre mixed with battle drum percussion, you have fast, chaotic woodwinds interjecting with off beat brass stabs and a prominent choir echoing and mirroring the main themes. A strong military feel, with a mix of gothic darkness and mischeivous endeavour in a cinematic package.

An uncomplicated yet profound piece of meditational soundscape that's equally at home as a thought-provoking, new age track as it is the background to a disturbing psychological scene, such is the potential for intrigue and tension in such a minimalist, dark electronic piece. The 285 Hz frequency targets your energy field and supposedly helps in the fast healing of burns, fractures, sprains and cuts - somewhat ironic if it ends up in the soundtrack to a psycho-gore flick.

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

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.

Background horror soundscape incorporating orchestral clusters and swarms, choral effects and various textures in order to create a tense atmosphere. Also using slow building risers and hits makes this more than just an ambient piece, giving a useable, more diverse track to match visuals to. Dark and agitated, perfect for horror, suspense and thriller genres.

A tense and anxious cinematic synth sequence. Building from a pulsing bass start, and adding dramatic percussive hits and impacts, the slow crescendo of a riser and dissonant cluster signals the impending climax and subsequent unexpected cutoff. Full of suspense and nervous energy for those stressful situations.

A hard hitting, cinematic powerhouse of a track - epic in nature but with an added dissonance to turn the feeling away from the usual majesty and heroism and towards the unnerving, foreboding and impending aggression. Massive drum hits, solid brass punches and a relentless synth bass pulse converge with ever growing marcato strings to develop into a solid paced expression of force.

Intense, dark and threatening cinematic theme, with ominous synths and pads. Futuristic and industrial with a spooky atmospheric sheen, it combines spine chilling FX with hyped up leads and builds to a percussively driven climax. Very dynamic and grows from brooding underscore to 'in your face' tension builder at the drop of a ...... drop. Expect plenty or risers, whooshes and impacts.

Spooky, skeletal track with a captivating atmosphere. Stripped to the bare bones, it's quite minimal, but uses the space to great effect, allowing the darkness to weave through the gaps. All the creepiest instruments are there: music box, glockenspiel, echoing percussion ... all leading and accompanying the playful strings, ghostly piano, lurking bassoon and carnival accordion for an unnerving experience of delicate, haunting beauty. Chills.

Futuristic and apocalyptic track. After starting with a pulsing, time-ticking build up to generate tension and a suffocating intensity, the pounding industrial percussion, screaming synth leads and grinding sub bass are let loose to fry your brain. Staggered and disruptive throughout but somehow generating an underlying rhythmic stability, it's certainly an effect rather than a melody.

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

Epic cinematic rock track. Go heavy on the sub bass and overdriven synths, add some wild growls and a rock steady drum beat, then twist in some dramatic effects to turn the savage dial up to 10. Sinister goings-on from a warped perspective in the darkest of post apocalyptic times. Did I forget to mention the creepy girl whispering in your ear? She didn't forget about you, and she's watching from the shadows.........

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.

Hauntingly tense piano based track. Dark and atmospheric from the start, using a simple repeated piano theme, and enhanced by subtle, dissonant strings and choir to create suspense, the piece remains stable but varied throughout - synth pulses and percussion add movement, cello adds melancholy, glockenspiel adds lightness. The slow pace adds to the dramatic tension so you're left in no doubt that something must be lurking nearby.  

Atmospheric hybrid track with a psychological edge. 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.

This suspenseful atmospheric soundtrack features a heart-beat and evolving states of a wicked mind.

Epic and aggressive trailer music. Short and direct, you get big drum impacts boosted by distorted synth, developing into a warped and intense theme with accented string shorts. Cinematic and industrial with a powerful rhythmic beat, it's not going to fit with anything less than 'giant' on the awesome scale.

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.
