A very uplifting cinematic track with Scottish themes. Powerful marching drums with catchy bagpipe and whistle melodies, soaring strings and huge blasting brass. The energy builds, then takes a break before building again to an inspiring ending. Perfect for travel, nature shots, flying and battle. Instrumental, Dramatic, Patriotic Music

This is a bouncy, lighthearted drunken pirates kind of track. Starting with cheerful whistles holding the main melody, it gradually builds in instrumentation resulting in a triumphant ending.

This is what it sounds like when you go out for a nice night drive to the arcade in the 80s. Or perhaps it's the finish line fast approaching, or a romantic meeting. While the lead melody has quite a playful feel, there are some moody and meaningful tones to this eighties synth inspired track. Instrumental, Pop, 80's Pop
A relaxed, lazy swing jazz piece led by a very catchy melodic piano line. Featuring a cool, happy guitar solo and then building up later with some muted brass and strings joining in for the main tune. Though slow and almost dragging, it actually has an uplifting, while also slightly cheeky feel. Instrumental, Jazz, Cool Jazz

A few 8-bit synths make it perfect for game music, as well as modern advertising, technology and fashion. Instrumental, Electronic, Electropop
A foreboding alien like track with creepy choir and strings over a cool synth bass groove. The synth pads moan like sci-fi outer space while the glitchy rhythms have a high-tech spacecraft feel.

The lyrics encourage confidence and self appreciation. Ideal for clothing branding and feel-good themes in general. Male Vocals, Dance, Nu-Disco
Spooky, supernatural atmospheres with dark violin melodies mixed with lullaby-like celeste. This has more of a Disney approach to horror, though could evoke real fear in certain contexts. It has a very floaty, ghostly feel. Instrumental, Horror, Halloween Whimsical
A fun, upbeat jazzy track, constantly moving around. It features silly, almost dissonant drunken sounding hooks, as well as nice memorable melodies.

A very up beat, kind of cheesy superhero tune. It has blasting, powerful brass with some very catchy string section themes that conjure images of flying.

This is a crazy dissonant audio attack. Constantly changing with eerie melodies and harsh stabs all over the place. There are some driving rhythms that make it ideal for some sort of maniac chase. I used strings only - very much influenced by Herrmann's "Psycho" score. Instrumental, Horror, Horror Psychological
A monstrous hybrid trailer style track. The first section is dark and sinister, but in a huge, epic way. It then breaks down and gradually builds back up to a heroic theme with an over the top ending. Perfect for trailers or for fast paced scenes. Instrumental, Action, Intense Orchestral
