It all depends on how you're feeling. On the one hand, this is a deep, soul searching soundscape of profound, inner vibrations - an electronic soup of slowly evolving tones, drones and unresolved mutations that leads you to mysterious places and intriguing discovery, safe in the knowledge that at this pace, you'll have the time to fall into it's myriad hypnotic states. On the other hand, it's the soundtrack to your worst, most isolated horror nightmares and the darkest, creepiest underworld you never want to visit. The choice is yours - it's just a question of context.

Corporate track, with a strong sense of inspiration, motivation and achievement. Piano based over a light drum beat, movement is added through fast, repeated palm muted guitar and harmonically enhanced by synth pads and acoustic guitar. A calmer midsection without drums creates a change to the mood, allowing a reset to the main theme until the end. Uncomplicated and effective.

Deeply reflective piano piece with a calm, minimalist approach. Not a lot of notes, but a lot of rich ambience, diverse emotions and mood from shimmering overtones and swathes of reverb - simplicity and soul-searching would be the only key words for this one. And maybe remorse. And a little hope. And solitude. And peaceful mystery. And I should stop now.

Electronic horror-themed track with arpeggiated keyboard, underlying light trap beat and synth pulses

Inspirational mix of gentle acoustic guitar, filtered synth textures and big drums. To describe it as 'corporate folk trap electro rock' would be a bit confusing, so I'll just say it has that uplifting, motivational feel, produced in an inventive and engaging way that actually works to calmly lift the energy and drive while staying true to its positive purpose.

Hopefully no-one tries listening to this on a cheap phone speaker or $1 headphones - the majority of it just won't be there. That's because, like all the best sounds, it's all about the bass. This ancient solfeggio frequency of 69.3 Hz is the lowest and lesser-known tone and is supposed to act as a resonance deepener. Mixing lush, soothing tones and ethereal sounds with the richness of the almost rumbling bass gives off a warm, comforting vibe of spiritual contentment, sure to soothe and invigorate in equal measure.

Action packed, adrenaline fuelled percussive glitch rock. With a percussive, tribal beat setting the tone, the rest is built up of riffing electric guitar with overlaid synth textures, sweeps and drops. Working brilliantly as a tension builder due to the constant forward momentum and suspense, it carries interest both as a standalone track and a supporting theme for multiple projects, from sports to games to action films. Upbeat, tense and punching like a stadium rock riff on steroids.

A 80's styled track with ambient synths and textures driven by synth melodies and big drums

Energetic synth rock with one foot firmly in the 80s. Simple but effective, it's a short, hyped up theme featuring drums, bass, guitar and a big dose of retro synth leads. Add in a few textures and warp them up - you've got the soundtrack to an emerging video game generation. Think neon colours, headbands and sci-fi.

An upbeat and energetic dance track, featuring driving beats, catchy bass lines and melodies and chopped electronic elements

Like the sun bursting through at the break of dawn, or the day turning into night at dusk, it's an epic, cinematic track of transformation that evolves in power and dynamics. Building from gentle, tension filled string ostinato and simple brass themes to an ever increasing wall of sound through sweeping legatos, angelic choirs and heroic horns, it never loses its sense of majestic fantasy and glorious strength. Inspiring, confident and super powerful.

If a robot could dream, and you could represent that dream in music, is this what it would sound like? Hypnotic, digital, slightly randomised and somewhat comforting - it's pure electronica featuring huge bass warps and filtered leads over a dubstep beat to evoke trance elements and an uncertain, almost neutral mood. Is it uplifting, happy, emotional or nostalgic? I'm not sure, but perhaps that's because I'm made of metal.

Simple corporate track ticking all the boxes: uplifting progressions, melodic harmonies and an overall feel of determination and motivation. Guitar plucks and a solid beat start it off, building steadily through bass and piano, with added strings for a little extra panache. It's light, it's driven and it's definitely worth a listen.

Groovy sexiness and upbeat vibes here, with a cool take on the electronic R&B house style. Plenty of interest coming from synth tones, changing beats, funk bass and retro flavours, but always relaxed and in control, setting up a modern sounding production that gels seamlessly into a really useable track.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

Lingering soundscape using rich synth swells like a drawn out pulse and higher pitched elements to enhance the esoteric sonic ambience. Simple, but rhythmically hypnotic and hauntingly mysterious.

A heart-pounding, thrilling orchestral segment featuring ethnic percussion hits, tense strings and cinematic sound elements

Dirty dubstep, smashed up with industrial percussion, robotic vocals and punching basslines. Kind of sleazy in a heavy electronic way, but not without a certain playfulness in the warped vocals, and verging on experimental with its chopped, dropped in, dropped out mannerisms. A real hyped up future beat.  

Dramatic futuristic orchestral sci-fi music with robotic sound design. Builds to climax, then positive resolution.

A Joyful track inspired by 80's synths and drums
