Royalty Free Strange / Bizarre Music

Diverse orchestral piece, with a fantasy, cartoon edge. Fast paced and percussive, featuring animated instrumentation and orchestration throughout, it only slows down the intensity for a mysterious, magical breakdown section before picking up the frantic mood once more. Expect fast string runs, pizzicato passages, chiming glockenspiel, brooding brass, snappy percussion and a whole lot of playfulness in this dynamic, stylised track.

An instrumental electro sci fi track with a familiar 80s style. Vintage arpeggiated lead and bass synth tones move us forward, backed by a rich electro beat and enhanced by percussive and tonal effects. A delicious grit in the pulsing bass and an ethereal quality to the choir and organ give a contrasting texture to this other-worldly piece of retro-future music, mysterious and transcending in equal measure.

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

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.

A Latino-influenced track with Spanish-style acoustic guitar and ethnic percussion

Powerful, dark and ambient track with themes of despair and impending doom, featuring eerie pads and synths. No beat, no impacts, just a synth created soundscape to put you on the edge of darkness. Shimmering and unsettling, with a rich sense of wonder.

Industrial techno track. Very lively and beat driven, without being overly aggressive, the hits and impacts are enhanced by synth phrases and distorted electric guitar riffs, intended to create an overall landscape of power, industry and energy rather than a memorable melody. Unrelenting and tense dark electro.

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.

Orchestral carnival theme with a sense of the macabre. Very animated, with all the instruments of the orchestra featured for a dynamic and at times, deliberately hectic and manic feel, it captures both the fun, comical side of the circus with the darker, more horror themed associations we've come to see on the big screen. Hauntingly enjoyable.

A deep EDM bass track, featuring a trap beat, strings and ethnic elements. Pretty chilled, with a slightly abstract approach and ethereal quality that blends a feeling of wonder and awe with laid back nights, the result is a modern and dynamic cut interweaving between soft beats, sparse vocal samples, marimba leads and smooth string passages. Curious and intriguing.

Deep bass electronic track mixing modern urban beats with middle eastern influences.

A playful and curious orchestral theme with tribal African percussion and orchestral string pizzicato hits

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.

Gothic orchestral romance at its fullest and darkest. Deep, rich tones from the legato strings, playful glockenspiel motifs and elegant, metronomic piano themes melt together in a swirling pot of mystery and suspense. Timpani hits and string shorts add drama, harp glissandi adds sparkle, chordal modulations add intrigue - and a final solo violin and piano section adds a touch of tragedy to complete the story. Deeply passionate and compelling.

Soothing but mysterious orchestral track. Arpeggiated piano and strings start classically, but a theremin lead takes things to an unexpected level of mystical contrast. Elegance and majesty is constant due to the warm orchestration throughout, with a deliberate unease and suspense created by the unusual instrumentation and melodies.  

Somber and dramatic background music with added ambience, using soft arpeggiated piano and electronic sound design elements. The constant, steady movement helps the piece flow forward, but it('s not until the final section that all the elements combine for the full effect of rich, mysterious and brooding tension. A slow burner, created purely for mood.

639 Hz - a frequency filled with love, radiance, and positive energy. It's the frequency of the heart, but don't expect James Blunt style whinings. This is a meditation soundscape designed to go much deeper, whistling straight into your inner core with haunting tones and evolving sound design. As useful for cinematic ambience as it is for spiritual energising, it's said to help you build harmonious relationships with others. Might work better than a mix tape of 80's love ballads.

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.

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.

Marimba instrumental music inspired by Thomas Newman’s soundtrack for ‘American Beauty’. Quirky, positive, fun and light.
