Passing Action

"Passing Action"

Instruments: Bass, Percussion, Strings

Feel: Dark, Unnerving

This short piece is the accompaniment for the hero surreptitiously breaking into a corporation or headquarters. The reverberating congas, triangle, and synthesized percussion enhance the senses, while the bass guitar provides a strong groove. The strings raise in pitch, evoking a sense of building tension. High-pitched crescendo of strings at 0:45 is the climax of the suspense.

Land of Phantoms

"Land of Phantoms"

Instruments: Percussion

Feel: Unnerving, Eerie, Suspenseful

More a creepy orchestral percussive soundscape than a piece of music with melody and harmony. That thing you can't identify is a gong being played abnormally.

Overriding Concern

"Overriding Concern"

Instruments: Synth, Chimes

Feel: Driving, Action, Unnerving, Dark, Mysterious, Suspenseful

Slow fade in with source recordings from a carnival, leading to a clean sharp synth and round synth. Tubular bells and glock add interest later.

Zombie Hoodoo

"Zombie Hoodoo"

Instruments: Piano, Synth

Feel: Unnerving, Eerie, Mystical, Mysterious, Suspenseful

Simple piano line with dark atmospherics in the background. It says "Zombie", but it is useful for any number of creepy motifs. (This piece is related to Zombie Chase).

"Measured Paces"
