Mistake the Getaway

"Mistake the Getaway"

Instruments: Brass, Strings, Kit, Percussion

Feel: Action, Driving, Epic, Intense, Suspenseful

The chase begins with horn blasts, and the kit plays a solid beat while the bass strings are a pulsing drone below the horn melody. The piece grows more tense and emotional, the strings taking the lead and rise into a flowing intensity. Danger returns in full force as the music crescendos and return for one final push.

Nerves

"Nerves"

Instruments: Brass, Percussion, Strings, Synths

Feel: Action, Dark, Eerie, Epic, Intense, Suspenseful

The first two minutes contain many changes and shifts in tone - all intense. The final minute is a collection of all that came before, ending in a pulse-quickening finale. This is music for an action film, or a scene that begins with tremulous anxiety and ends in a big way.

Take the Lead

"Take the Lead"

Instruments: guitars, bass, kit, synths

Feel: Aggressive, Driving

This is a rough and hard-hitting piece, best used as background music to a stressful, strained scene, or tense and suspenseful content. Heavy distorted guitars begin the song, and at 0:41 the soaring synth leads play the melody while the powerful drums kick in. A high-pitched pulsating synth effect carries the last seventeen seconds to the final punch.

Open Those Bright Eyes

"Open Those Bright Eyes"

Instruments: Piano, guitar, bass, kit

Feel: Bouncy, Bright

This piece is made up of three distinct variations on a melodic theme, and should be taken apart and used for transitions in a light-hearted short video. The first section begins with a bright, leading to the big push of the bombastic brass. The second section, beginning at 0:52, is the same melody, but only features the piano. This section is softer and lasts 20 seconds. The final section begins at 1:17, and ends with an excited flourish.

One-eyed Maestro

"One-eyed Maestro"

Instruments: Accordion, Violin, Percussion, Flutes, Trumpets, Horns, Strings

Feel: Bouncy, Eerie, Humorous

This is the kind of music that makes skeletons dance. With its pounding brass, singsong flute melody, and off-kilter syncopation, this piece is whimsical and reminiscent of a carnival. It is quirky, quick, playful, and dangerously creepy, and is perfect for a lively cartoon, circus-themed content, or a magician?s show.

Stealth Groover

"Stealth Groover"

Instruments: Piano, Bass, Guitar, Kit, Synth

Feel: Bouncy, Grooving

The constancy of the bass melts into your consciousness, as the syncopation of the high-pitched piano and electric guitar keep the groove flowing. Subtle synthesizer arrangements change the flow of the song and keep it interesting, while the rhythm section is playful and experimental. This is perfect for a scene where the spy learns a new skill or performs an act of guile, or as the background to a low-key, tech-oriented game.

Devastation and Revenge

"Devastation and Revenge"

Instruments: Synths, Percussion, Strings, Brass, Guitar, Voice

Feel: Eerie, Epic, Intense, Mystical, Somber, Suspenseful

A low hum sets a dark and mysterious mood, but at 0:49 the orchestral strings, horns, and pounding drums begin, perfect as the background to the hero?s dilemma or impending battle scene. At 2:01 the music reaches a climax and builds into discordant, terrifying suspense. The ending, at 2:35, features a lone guitar and mournful vocals, depicting a great sadness and loss.

Ripples

"Ripples"

Instruments: Koto

Feel: Calming, Mystical, Relaxed

Flowing like water, this serene piece is perfect for relaxation and meditation. The solitary plucks of the Chinese guzheng reverberate slightly, and maintain a steadiness that would work well for introspective, Asian-themed content. This would also work well for anything depicting snow, winter, or Rural Japan.
