Title: Long Road Ahead
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 2:27
Instrumentation: Choir. Strings, Brass, Percussion
Tempo: 74

Very simple folk melody. Like the aftermath of a battle between good and evil. Major triumphant section for the final third of the piece. 003 Epic, Mystical, Somber 2009

Title: Sovereign
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 6:11
Instrumentation: Piano

Very very good new age piano solo in a minor. You might think 6 minutes is a bit long, but it isn't. Played on a darkly voiced piano. This piece should in no way be offered for free. 013 Dark, Calming 1998

Title: Tranquility Base
Genre: World
Length: 18:29
Instrumentation: Synths, Bells, Percussion

Super chill, meditative, and massively long drone. The preview is cut to three minutes, but the entire download is 18 minutes, and more than 42 meg. Please be patient. Mystical, Relaxed 2009

Title: Long Road Ahead B
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 1:44
Instrumentation: Choir. Strings, Brass, Percussion
Tempo: 74

Same as "Long Road Ahead", but without the final triumphant section. 003 Epic, Mystical, Somber 2009

Title: Long Note Four
Genre: Horror
Length: 10:00
Instrumentation: Piano, Choir, Violins, Basses, Percussion, Synths

A fairly intense beginning with a small piano part I pulled from a thing I wrote last week (Trio for Piano Violin and Viola), followed by a very long section of not moving much. 037 Dark, Eerie, Mystical, Somber 2008

Title: Mourning Song
Genre: Classical
Length: 1:32
Instrumentation: Basses, Cellos, Oboe

Long broad notes with a solo oboe. 036 Dark, Somber, Unnerving 2008

Title: Water Droplets on the River
Genre: Silent Film Score
Length: 1:45

6/8 piece meant to be reminiscent of nice memories from long ago. 028 Bright, Calming, Uplifting 2008

Title: Long Note Three
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 3:12
Instrumentation: Strings, Synths

A very long dark note. Use under dialog, or to kill site noise. 037 Dark, Mysterious, Somber, Suspenseful 2008

Title: Long Note Two
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 7:42
Instrumentation: Basses, Violins, Piano

Heavy effects on an arhythmic piano, and very deep bass. 037 Dark, Eerie, Mysterious, Suspenseful, Unnerving 2008

Title: Long note One
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 7:20
Instrumentation: Basses, Violins

Just a very long pad for use under dialog. 037 Dark, Intense, Suspenseful, Unnerving 2008

Title: Almost in F
Genre: Unclassifiable
Length: 32:42
Instrumentation: Piano, Basses

Very long, very slow, trance-inducing piece... 36 cents sharp of the key of F. Yes, there is a good reason for that. No, I'm not going to explain it. 027 Calming, Mystical, Relaxed 2007

Title: Fluidscape
Genre: Unclassifiable
Length: 30:21
Instrumentation: Synths, Flute, Harp

Very long, cool, relaxed piece - no surprises, though the timbre does change from time to time. 027 Calming, Mystical, Relaxed 2007

Title: Welcome to the Show
Genre: Rock
Length: 4:42
Instrumentation: Guitar, Bass, Kit, Horns, Synth
Tempo: 124

A one-chord wonder designed to open a show. It has a long lead out for fading. Modulation about halfway through. 026 Action, Driving 2007

Title: Cognitive Dissonance
Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:48
Instrumentation: Electronic
Tempo: 120

Main theme used in two different treatments. Specifically designed to turn your brain around... one sort of gets lost in the fog in the middle, and ends up pointing the wrong way by the end. Starts with a very long slow fade. 018 Driving, Aggressive, Action 2006

Title: Long Time Coming
Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:34
Instrumentation: Electronic, Synth
Tempo: 120

No description available at this time. 018 Driving, Action, Grooving 2006

Title: Noble Race
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 5:15
Instrumentation: Orchestral - Full

Full orchestra plus piano. This is a long piece with several dynamic changes. Semi-heroic at times. 033 Intense, Action, Epic, Driving, Mysterious, 2006

Title: Long Stroll
Genre: Jazz
Length: 4:14
Instrumentation: Brushed Kit, Trumpet, Bass, Piano

Not sure what this is... Reminds me of a 1940's film... maybe a musical? Jazz combo with Fluglehorn, EP improv in the middle. 014 Relaxed, Bouncy, Humorous 2006

Title: We Got Trouble
Genre: Soundtrack
Length: 4:41

Super action, but still a bit restrained. Quite a long cue with a few changes on the inside. 044 Dark, Epic, Action 2006

Title: Meditation Impromptu 01
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 3:32
Instrumentation: Piano

A single piano impromptu in D flat Major, broken into three files for easier downloading. This piece was made because many people were using my music as background for hypnosis and meditation products. This is a very very calming (and long) piano piece designed for just that. There is nothing startling contained in this piece... only light flowing melodies. 027 Relaxed, Calming 2005

Title: Meditation Impromptu 02
Genre: Contemporary
Length: 4:09
Instrumentation: Piano

A single piano impromptu in D flat Major, broken into three files for easier downloading. This piece was made because many people were using my music as background for hypnosis and meditation products. This is a very very calming (and long) piano piece designed for just that. There is nothing startling contained in this piece... only light flowing melodies. 027 Relaxed, Calming 2005

Title: Meditation Impromptu 03
Genre: Contemporary

Title: Divertissement - Pizzicato (from the ballet Sylvia)
Genre: Classical
Length: 1:35
Instrumentation: Orchestral - Pizz strings, Clarinet, Horn

Delibes. I am astounded that there are so few recordings of this piece on the net... for a few reasons. 1. Everyone knows this piece (but nearly no one knows what it is called). 2. It is very easy to record (Pizzicato strings have been one of the few samples that have sounded "real" for a long time). 3. The composer is long dead and his stuff is in the Public Domain (Léo Delibes; 1891). And for some background... Sylvia is a 3-Act ballet first produced in 1876. I'm pretty certain this particular piece has nothing to do with the plot - or it wouldn't be called a "divertissement". 008 Humorous, 2005
