Bittersweet "Bittersweet" Instruments: Synth, Cello, Piano, Choir Feel: Calming, Relaxed, Somber Ok, I might be crying a little bit. But it is understandable... I went to a party store, and I saw all the colorful balloons with happy sayings on them like "Get Well" and "Feel Better" and "A Hug for You"... I just started thinking how the helium will all be gone one day. Just gone... we won't get it back, and it took millions of years of radioactive decay to get the helium we have now... and... *sniff* we just don't have millions more years to wait for more. They're wasting helium in balloons... how can I possibly "Feel Better"!? ISRC: USUAN1700004 73 bpm Genre: Soundtrack Length: 3:22 Download "Bittersweet" as mp3 Listen Now! Watch the Video on YouTube

Gregorian Chant "Gregorian Chant" Instruments: Synth, Choir Feel: Mystical, Somber Is it a real Gregorian Chant? Nope. For one - there are no real words in it. Honestly, I don't want a religious exaltation mucking up my fantasy world. So if you're building a historically accurate "Monk Simulator: Year of Our Lord 882!", just move on. The other reason this isn't real is I never learned how to read that notation. There are insufficient sticks for the rhythms in the notation... I know, there is a real convention that you can learn. I just grabbed a few pieces of the sheet music from the 1200s, and guessed at how to do it. Sounds reasonable enough to me!

Hidden Past "Hidden Past" Instruments: Uilleann Pipes, Bagpipes, Drums, Synth Feel: Eerie, Mystical, Somber Pipes, pipes, and more pipes! Irish? Scottish? Celtic? I have no idea. But sure - could be any of those. Let's call it "Ancient British Isles". ISRC: USUAN1600030 70 bpm Genre: World Length: 3:12 Download "Hidden Past" as mp3 Get it from iTunes! Listen Now!

Floating Cities "Floating Cities" Instruments: Synths, Percussion Feel: Somber, Relaxed, Mystical, Calming It is the future? It certainly sounds like it... What would I use this for? Probably a video game with non-action gameplay. Certainly a montage of some futuristic film... or maybe one of those sandwiched scenes where a person is walking in the rain, but you don't get any of the sounds of the actual rain... just this piece. No dialog, no voiceover, just walking. Do they have a name for those scenes? They must. ISRC: USUAN1600018 120 bpm Genre: Soundtrack Length: 3:04 Download "Floating Cities" as mp3 Get it from iTunes!

Thunderbird "Thunderbird" Instruments: Bass Flute, Synths, Percussion Feel: Somber, Relaxed, Mystical, Calming Wikipedia describes the Thunderbird as "a supernatural bird of power and strength". It will also ask you to disambiguate it from the automobile made by Ford from 1955 to 2005. I'm sure it was a nice car. I've never owned one. But there were a lot of them! The late 70's Thunderbirds are particularly horrifying... They had those headlight covers that flipped up... because that was a good idea at some point. But this piece! Oh! This piece! Atmosphere like you wouldn't believe! The flute is just so earthy! The organic drones are also beautiful. The whole thing is beautiful. Kind of like you went to an alien day spa in another dimension where days last for years, but you still never get all wrinkly when you're in the bubbly warm waters. mmmm... bubbly warm waters... with the slight possibility of a serial killer.

Immersed "Immersed" Instruments: Piano, Strings Feel: Calming, Mystical, Relaxed, Somber Minimal and somewhat droney in parts, this has a beautiful calmness about it. You can use it to sell anti-depressants or high performance automobile parts. Also useful for time-lapse photography of the night sky... or maybe a rocket launch.

Heavy Heart "Heavy Heart" Instruments: Lute, Cellos, Basses, Penny Whistle Feel: Dark, Somber, Mystical We've all been there. It is a little sad, a little hopeful... like when you finally set your rescue owl back into the world. You're sad to see her go, but you hope for the best. You've done all you can inside... her wings work pretty well now, and she can snatch the mice from your living room floor even when you put in a bunch of fake plants in the way to give the prey cover. Nothing to do now but hope Blossom can rule the night as you hoped she one day would. Also... time to buy a bunch of mousetraps.

Intrepid "Intrepid" Instruments: Basses, Cellos, Tuba, Trombones, Prepared Piano, Voice, Drums Feel: Eerie, Mysterious, Somber, Dark This has a little bit of early music flair to it with a nice vocal performance (if you don't like the vocals, you can get a version without in the super download). I've listened to this piece non-stop for like an hour. Still beautiful! The least you could do is listen to this once! It is only a few minutes. Go ahead!

Disquiet "Disquiet" Instruments: Piano Feel: Somber, Calming On January 31st, 2015, I recorded this piece. For some reason, I hit the record button and played. This is all of the notes. There are no other takes; No other files from that day. I don't remember what I was doing, but I was apparently dealing with fear and hope and apprehension... at least that is what it sounds like to me today - months later. Every now and again, I'll find these files - they are something of an emotional journal. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Download has the original MIDI file!

Lost Time "Lost Time" Instruments: violas, cellos, basses Feel: Somber, Dark Is someone dying onscreen, but you still need some dialog so you can't go up against a solo oboe (the universal musical shorthand for death scenes)? We got this! Dark and moving, this piece will make you cry and not get in the way of those final bits of dialog! Also useful for sullen montage sequences of clergy activities.

Dreams Become Real "Dreams Become Real" Instruments: Piano, Synths Feel: Calming, Somber Beautiful dreamy piece that confuses times and spaces. You really just need to take a moment and listen to this one - because it is really cool. How cool? You should probably find out! There are a lot of extra synth things going on in it that are hidden in and amongst the piano, like one of those hidden picture books with 45 paperclips, but you can only ever see 7 of them.
