"Windswept"

Instruments: Guitar, Strings

Feel: Calming, Relaxed

A relaxed guitar and strings piece for the denouement of a story or exposition of the scenic outdoors. The guitar is peaceful as the strings gently build in prominence. The tempo is regular overall, but slows down in key moments to build a sense of tranquility.

"Decisions"

Instruments: Synths, Percussion

Feel: Driving, Intense, Suspenseful

A vocal chorus blends with subtle percussion and panning synth effects that rattles the bones. The choir rises in volume almost imperceptibly before dissolving, leaving a sense of drama and consequence. Perfect for the background music to build suspense and intrigue. Loopable.

"Rising"

Instruments: Synths, Choir, Percussion

Feel: Grooving, Intense, Suspenseful

Heavy on the percussion, this piece is dominated by the rising strings in the second minute, which quickly give way to an ethereal alto chorus. The accompaniment rises together before dissipating. Loopable.

"Sneaky"

Instruments: Alto Flute

Feel: Bouncy, Humorous, Suspenseful

Ascending and descending chromatic scales gives this piece an air of mischief; perfectly suited for a cartoon. It has moments of tenuous fluidity, rapid motion, and a touch of suspense, making it perfect for the classic scene where the hero is sneaking past the sleeping giant.

"Gone Beyond"

Instruments: Music Box, Choir

Feel: Calming, Unnerving

The child-like music box is the constant in this piece, but the repetition of the melody shifts from innocence to the music of a character detached from life, on the verge of psychoses or paranoia. The choir in the background lends the music a heavenly, albeit sepulchral feel.

"Procession of the King"

Instruments: Strings

Feel: Intense, Uplifting

A strings only piece, evocative of love, romance, and pride. Just before the one minute mark the music takes an unexpected turn, becoming intensely emotional and beautiful as the strings play in the higher register with a slight tremolo, with the bass filling up the empty space in the last half minute.

"In The West"

Instruments: Strings, Flute, Clarinet

Feel: Suspenseful

The percussion and strings start off bright, but deceive you as they turn to a powerful minor key. The string bass plays a prominent role, interacting with and leading the treble to the sudden conclusion.

"The Other Side of the Door"

Instruments: Harp, Oboe, Flue, Strings

Feel: Driving, Mysterious, Mystical

A quick and off-color melody on the harp transports you to a mystical eerie world, while a flute plays a sweet melody, and pizzicato strings create a playful undertone. Quite a bit happens in this piece musically, it can be used to complement scenes of mischief, an eerie scene, or a world of magic and intrigue.

"At Rest"

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Strings, Choir

Feel: Relaxed, Somber

A recurring voice melody cascades over piano chords that sway in the breeze. Strings and horns then play the melody as the piano is slightly more forceful before settling again. It is suggestive of sadness, but with a sense of closure and peace.

"Dark Times"

Instruments: Strings

Feel: Dark, Somber

Deeply troubling and somber, this piece is heavy on the bass strings, especially in the last minute. The feel is very dark and funereal, and could be used to depict the beginning of the apocalypse.
