UK artist Richard Heacock has two parallel careers that make life exciting. As a composer of TV music, he has scored documentaries for BBC, Discovery, National Geographic, and Nova. As a musician, he appears at many folk festivals in the UK and records with some of the finest Celtic musicians. Richard’s genres include Ambient Dance, Celtic traditional, and exotic Indian music. He played fiddle and viola on the Boldwood album “Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now,” composed music for the National Theatre, and wrote the music for Tony Robinson's "The Worst Jobs in History" (Channel 4).

Spacey, minimalist chillout music - descending blues bass, restrained Fender Rhodes piano and light offbeat synth stabs. Cinematic yet intimate in feel. Instrumental, Lounge, Chillout
Classical/minimalist piece in the style of Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Gently rocking piano arpeggios are joined by plaintive cor anglais notes which resolve as the chords change. Shimmering strings and synthesizer sweeps join later. Mesmerizing, apprehensive, and mysterious. Instrumental, Classical, 20th Century

Slow, sensual hip-hop instrumental with string quartet, live drums, upright bass and piano accordion. Laid-back and very sophisticated! Instrumental, Hip Hop, Hip Hop Instrumental
Ethnic flute trills echo over wordless female choir washes. Upright jazz bass and vibraphone tones complete the steamy, sultry atmosphere. Travelogue and natural history films could use this to evoke the rainforest or bayou. Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
Traditional Scottish ballad in a haunting arrangement for solo harp. Works both as Celtic music (to evoke the Highlands of Scotland) and as refined classical music. Instrumental, British & Irish, Scotland

Languid, dreamy classical piano solo, a hommage to Eric Satie's Gymnopedie. Solo piano is joined later by subtle string shimmers. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Epic brooding orchestral dance track. Threatening low cellos precede an edgy groove with wailing sax solos and string stabs. At 3 minutes the groove drops out and lyrical piano and strings take over, so you get 2 contrasting but related tracks for the price of one! Instrumental, Dangerous, Dangerous Music

Upbeat festive Latin trumpet with infectious conga grooves. The track pauses and re-starts several times, which gives great edit points for AV application. Instrumental, Latin, Dramatic Latin
