Orchestral fantasy track. Opening with a dramatic sequence of string ostinato and female vocal aahs, and building in intenstity through legato strings, rhythmic percussion and stabbing brass, the mood changes to a softer, magical mid-section of vocals and sweeping strings, sprinkled with harp runs and chimes. The action soon returns with more beating taiko rhythm and full orchestra to the climax of a piece that suggests epic drama, action, mystery and heroism.  

A mysterious, scary ambient orchestral track with a strings section crescendo, celeste fills and haunting female chorals

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 heart-pounding orchestral thriller featuring african percussion, tribal chants and epic string performances

Atmospheric and rhythmic pop rock. Using a melodic piano theme as the central hook, and continuously enhancing it with percussion, bass, electric guitars and synth pads, the piece builds in intensity and energy to create a dramatic mid-tempo background track that captures a spirit of determination, motivation and suspense, contrasting a slightly dark, cinematic side with a more heroic one.

Edgy orchestral track. Starting with a fast moving string theme and percussion, deep chimes ring in the ominous dread approaching. Building in intensity, and dropping out, become able suspense techniques throughout, as does contrasting the doom with light playful passages on strings, woodwinds or xylophone. Slurred legato violins apply textured expression and rich brass adds an aggressive feel to create a dramatic, mysterious and epic composition.

Imperial sounding orchestral epic. Fanfare brass, snare drum and crashing gongs give a military feel, the strings adding a further cinematic depth to the piece with fast runs and ostinato passages. A touch of fantasy is brought in by the harp in an otherwise scene-setting track of determined grandeur and combative qualities, mixing calmer reflection with aggression.

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 funky jazz instrumental reminiscent of classic spy movie themes

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.

Stirring orchestral trailer for that truly majestic touch. String ostinato, percussive hits, synth risers, deep brass braams, impending epicness ... it all builds nicely into a dramatic theme tailor-made for a glorious outcome. It may be short, but it packs a powerful punch.

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.

A heart-pounding cinematic action piece with powerful percussion, strings, deep timpani beats and roaring horns

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.

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.

Mysterious trap/hip-hop track with pulsing bass and beat

Heroic cinematic track based around animated string ostinatos. Mid paced for a sense of majesty and glory, it has a strong sense of the epic, with sweeping brass lines and booming percussion being driven by the ever pushing strings and taikos. Uplifting, inspiring and powerful, it shines a beacon of light into a tension filled arena.

A dark, unsettling ambient cinematic soundscape, with ethereal textured synth pads and distant thunders. Slightly ethnic thanks to the bamboo flute that seeps through the mist, and slightly enchanted thanks to the shimmering synth strings, it has a peaceful spirituality about it whilst keeping a mysterious edginess.

A mellow old school hip hop instrumental with a jazzy underground feel. Recreating a great vintage tone harking back to the 70s, you still feel the modern production edge in a clean cut track of retro groove. Upright bass, horns, synth textures and a driving rhythm all keep the laid back energy moving forward, generating a mysterious and curious vibe with more than a hint of tension.
