Circus Maximus

Full-on orchestral action theme in four sections. Taking no prisoners from the start, fast paced string ostinato and fanfare brass set the tone over cinematic percussion hits. After keeping the same themes but slightly dropping the intensity for the second section, the mood changes to a calmer mysterious feeling in order to build to the returning climax. Powerful, epic and dramatic with a constant rhythmically animated intensity.

Cinematic orchestral track with a strong sense of action and mysterious intrigue. Building on a brooding start of rich brass and choral aahs, the theme develops through percussion and strings to become a fully symphonic motif. A gentle midsection of silky strings and subtle harp calms the situation temporarily before hitting back with the returning theme - sweeping strings, flutter-tongued brass and marching percussion combining to create a tense finale.

A tense action epic. The title may be a bit misleading if you're expecting the classic John Williams score, but there's certainly dramatic tension and plenty of big screen atmosphere. Accentuated off-beat rhythms using percussion and strings, raspy brass swells and enhancing woodwinds all contribute to an edgy, pointed piece with a dark and sinister side.

Powerful action hybrid track, featuring orchestral, synth and rock elements. Building on a chaotic, percussive start with string shorts and synth motifs, the main themes start to develop and take shape as electric guitar and brass figure more prominently, all leading towards the final hard rock section, with a driving drum beat, timpani hits, chugging orchestration and distorted guitar. Full of intensity and drama with a cinematic sheen.

Epic symphonic track. Packed with action, intensity and a strong battle feel, it uses string ostinato and lots of snare percussion to generate a dramatic and, at times, chaotic ambience. Split into 2 halves to allow for a dynamic change and subsequent build up, the heroic brass adds tension thoughout under the screaming violins and relentless basses. Tense, bold and soaked in impending doom.

Tense and edgy cinematic track with a battle-ready feeling. A marching, percussive crescendo with short string stabs leads us into the full theme - string ostinato, shorts and a macabre sense of doom from the gothic choral chanting. Add in a few risers, sound design effects and tribal drums and the effect is complete: high intensity action with a sinister edge.
