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 dark, mysterious-sounding ambient track featuring a celeste lead and a beautiful string ensemble

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.

Dark and suspenseful ambient track with piano and electronic elements

A dark and brooding track of epic, cinematic menace. Mixing the deep tones of beating synths with the power of orchestral brass for a slow burning theme, the creeping doom draws closer with ever growing layers of strings and driving rhythms. A dramatic tension builder with something lurking in the shadows.

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.

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.

Soothingly haunted piano instrumental, backed by strings and harp. Slow and intense, with piano parts ranging from simple arpeggios to virtuosic runs, it's beautifully crafted to give the impression of elegance and subtlety with a darker, unseen edge lurking nearby. Drama, suspense, reflection and tension are the key ingredients to this minimalist track.

Rhythmic soundscape, built on synth pads, arpeggiated leads and warped textures. 16th note delay creates constant movement. Overall, a slightly eerie, brooding atmosphere.

Orchestral (hybrid) track, featuring piano, strings, brass and FX. A lulling, yet dissonant piano theme takes centre stage, accompanied by legato violins and various chilling percussive effects to a sharp climax, before returning to the more sedate, yet unsettling motif. Edgy and intense, with an unresolved ending.  

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.

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.  

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

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.

Tense orchestral hybrid track. Male and female choir chanting, cinematic percussion and deep synth textures marry with a full range of orchestral techniques and dynamics for an epic, jagged piece that is action packed, unsettling and dramatic. Dark and gothic due to the choral elements, it captures an energetic and panicked spirit with a sense of struggle and fight.

Fast moving orchestral string track. Traditional pizzicato, Bartok pizzicato, tremolo, marcato shorts and legato passages all add to the ever changing dynamic landscape of the piece for a sumptuous and playful vibe that's free flowing and energetic. Rhythmically adventurous due to tempo changes, fast staccatto passages and smooth, contrasting themes, you never truly settle and find yourself swallowed by a piece full of suspense, edginess and nervous energy.  

The clock is ticking and the sound promises secrets and tension.

Powerful orchestral action theme. Equally dramatic and energetic as tense and mysterious, it makes great use of the percussive snare to destabilise and create uncertainty, overall never seemingly committing to a solid 4/4 beat. Expect lots of off beat accents, brass stabs, woodwind trills and string runs to build a dynamic and thrilling theme.

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

Tense orchestral track. Unsettling offbeats and ominous descending themes, mixed with fast, jagged strings, create a world of swirling intensity that cycles round, only momentarily pausing at times to rebuild again. Supported by a backbeat of percussive hits and interjecting brass stabs, it has high energy and movement with a strong gothic, epic feel.
