A slow and emotional cinematic epic. Rich strings start the inspirational ball rolling, building through uplifting piano progressions and subtle background guitar, swelling to a fulfilling soundscape of heroic and positive atmosphere. Calming and reassuring, yet powerfully driving without the need for percussive hits or hectic ostinato, its a well crafted slice of comfort cake for the ears.

Awe-inspiring and uplifting orchestral track with a powerful and dynamic build-up

Hybrid orchestral track with a dark and melancholic feeling. The texture evolves, becoming more dense at the end.

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

A dramatic orchestral underscore with slow string swells and an overall suspenseful, dramatic feel

Minimalistic cinematic soundtrack that gets under the skin. Featuring orchestral elements and female vocals.

Lonesome acoustic track - either revelling in its tranquil solitude, or slowly sinking into its desperate acceptance of perpetual loneliness, depending on your point of view. In any case, it's a gentle acoustic guitar/harmonica track with a country, cowboy flavour beautifully crafting a special atmosphere of the remote Wild West. Or remote anywhere for that matter.

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.

This is a thoughtful, gentle and breezy acoustic track - just effortlessly gliding along on a cloud of tranquility without a care in the world as it contemplates the wholesome nature of existence with a calming introspection. So not a heavyweight composition by any means, but perfect for a lilting acoustic guitar mood with a little twinkle in its eye. Positive and rewarding background music.

An island influenced song about the longing for the innocence of youth. With its sense of bubbly enthusiasm, it has an offbeat reggae feel but with slightly more downbeat sections at times, as if to contrast the good times vs bad. Lots of hammond organ, solid rhythm section, bright guitar and of course, a horn section. Everything's alright if there's a horn section, right? Stay positive everyone.

A soothing, contemplative acoustic guitar piece with comforting warm vibes and homely sentiment. Animated without being fast paced, its gently flowing melodies and acoustic resonance float through our heads with a purity and simplicity that evokes heartwarming feels with just a touch of romanticism. Sweet.

Warm and cosy Christmas moods guaranteed with this track, conjuring up the spirit of togetherness in a peaceful and satisfying piece that's all about the gentle side of holidays. Mellow pads and soothing oohs, sleigh bells and clean guitars, synth pulses and string legatos - with a little percussive help to generate an uplifting feel good factor - all blend into the musical equivalent of a tranquil evening in front of a comforting log fire.

Simple but effective tension builder, with just enough dramatic edge to play a perfect supporting role to picture. Swirling background strings, clean reverbed guitar lines and a prominent cello lead all combine over the haunting, repetitive minimalism of the piano resulting in a cinematic voyage of discovery and wonder. Enigmatic and ethereal with a sense of elegance and control.

Minimalist neo classical track, featuring piano and violin. A soft arpeggiated piano intro lays the bed for a whistful solo violin entry, full of yearning and reflection. Interpersed with pizzicato, it's the violin that sings the song over the ever constant piano accompaniment, creating a feeling of suspense, wonder and fragility. A dark piece full of intrigue.

Inspiring film score featuring piano and modern orchestral instruments.

Emotional and inspiring cinematic track mixing calmness and reflection with intensity and tension. Serenity comes from gentle, unhurried piano chords, clean electric guitar phrases and deep, melancholic string sections. Juxtaposed by a fast repeating piano theme that adds an animated anxiety, you get a tale of two contrasting emotions that work perfectly together to push and pull you through this dramatic and elegant, yet somber and pensive journey.  

A touching and emotional track with rich acoustic guitars and soft, melodic background vocals

A powerful acoustic folk ballad featuring steel string guitars, piano lead and a sad, nostalgic feel

Dreamy, ethereal soundscape with a lo-fi vintage tonal vibe mixed with filtered synth and spacey, reverbed guitar lines. Anchored by a soft beat, the rest floats above as the shimmers, echoes and delays meld together in a timeless, carefree web of delicate, enchanted daydreaming.

Beautiful and elegant cinematic track. With a light and uplifting feeling, it uses string harmonics and soft piano 'question/answer' phrasing to develop the foundation as it builds to a livelier theme featuring pizzicato and legato strings, bright piano and an expressive cello lead. Positive and full of optimism with a delicate sensitivity.
