Acoustic session featuring a male and female duet for a happy feeling

Calmly paced orchestral track featuring metronomic piano. Using muted strings and tremolo articulations to generate tension and intensity, the pulsing regularity of the simple piano theme plays with the long, sweeping violin and cello lines to generate a beautiful elegance, evoking drama, suspense and a sense of regret. Cinematically stylish and full of heartfelt emotion.

Modern pop ballad with innovative drops into house, techno and trap styles. Melodic singer/songwriter verses transform into harder hitting synth-heavy textured choruses, but the overall story never gets lost throughout - regret, loneliness and the difficulty of moving on. Very well crafted with a great sense of pace and change.

A soft piano piece that slowly travels through a variety of emotions. Gently paced with a subtle, modern background beat that drops in and out, it has cinematic qualities due to the added string orchestration and reverb, and a slight lift near the end as arpeggiated acoustic guitar enhances the atmosphere. Soothing thanks to the soft instrumentation and tempo, airy and floating from background textures and uncomplicated thanks to the simplicity of the piano, it has all the features of a relaxing, meditative track with a modern touch.  

A downbeat chillhop track, making the most of lo-fi vibes and ambient textures to create a hazy, mellow feel with a modern touch. Lots of vintage tone from the electric piano and soft string pads brings the warmth, with a cool groove beat dropping in and out to change things up. Sprinkled with effects and accentuated by melodic and sonic background highlights, it's a laid back journey to nowhere in particular, and that's just fine.

Chilled electro with a lo-fi feel. Melodic piano and a gentle, rich beat generate the movement, synth textures and effects generate the ambient filling and together create a sonic landscape of soulful dreams and rhythmic expression. Ambiently moody with a playful side.

This ambient hip hop track describes a stressed atmosphere in narrative and authentic way.

Magical orchestral track with a sense of adventure. A gentle, lilting start from the cor anglais grows into a more epic string theme, supported by brass and woodwinds until it finally breaks into the main motif - triumphant, romantic, grand and uplifting. A good mixture of string and woodwind shorts with sweeping string longs, and changes of pace and intensity help to keep the variety high throughout. Moods come and go, instruments fade in and out, but the winter romance is ever present.

Lush, ambient soundscape to leave you feeling like you're floating on a cloud of angel dust. Rich synth pads, cinematic piano, and most of all, the gentle lulling of the female vocals will suck you into a dreamlike state, lifting you ever higher to a spiritual nirvana - safe, comforted and reassured.

Tranquil piano ambience with a deeply mysterious edge. It's a simple theme using delay and reverb for movement and space, given diversity through unexpected time changes and sprinkled with sound design elements. Definitely dark, but more in wonder and suspense than anything sinister ...... or is it?

Emotional and inspiring cinematic track mixing calmness and reflection with intensity and tension. Serenity comes from gentle, unhurried piano chords, clean electric guitar phrases and deep, melancholic string sections. Juxtaposed by a fast repeating piano theme that adds an animated anxiety, you get a tale of two contrasting emotions that work perfectly together to push and pull you through this dramatic and elegant, yet somber and pensive journey.  

A gentle acoustic instrumental. What starts as a simple guitar pattern develops into a fuller, richer sounding piece with the introduction of more instruments. Over a continuous rhythm of kick drum and shaker, a piano theme is added, followed by warm pads, bass, and eventually an electric guitar lead that continually adds interest without digressing from its role as a light, free flowing background track with a sense of tranquility and positivity.

Dreamy, ethereal soundscape with a lo-fi vintage tonal vibe mixed with filtered synth and spacey, reverbed guitar lines. Anchored by a soft beat, the rest floats above as the shimmers, echoes and delays meld together in a timeless, carefree web of delicate, enchanted daydreaming.

A touching and contemplative soundscape with an ambient and blissful atmosphere. Dreamy piano and sound design textures float on a cloud of soft pads, while calming strings enhance the reflective nature of the music.

Deeply atmospheric, ambient track. Soaked in reverb for a spacey and dreamlike feel, it features clean electric guitar melodies and broken chords over synth pads and piano. A light percussive rhythm lends a fluidity and forward movement and helps build a slight intensity, creating a change in dynamics and feeding the listener a vibe of wonder and mysticism. Cinematic and very, very pensive.

A heartfelt acoustic ballad with steel string guitar chords, soft male vocals and Glockenspiel fills

A soothing, contemplative acoustic guitar piece with comforting warm vibes and homely sentiment. Animated without being fast paced, its gently flowing melodies and acoustic resonance float through our heads with a purity and simplicity that evokes heartwarming feels with just a touch of romanticism. Sweet.

Sweet piano piece with haunting undertones. Never quite certain if it's a gentle lullaby or a sinister horror soundtrack, its multi-level nuances come from the slightest interval changes in the piano melodies. Backed by evolving cello textures and enchanting bells, it's a lilting track of sweet dreams ....... and perhaps sweeter nightmares.
