This slower grooving track, in a style similar to Thomas Newman's, uses solo violin and cello as a duet throughout the piece. Perfect for dramatic scenes especially those with motion.

Minimalist and reflective piano and glockenspiel with subtle harmonium and pads. Atmospheric, magical and mysterious. Great for exploration, reflection, discoveries and much more.
composer: Jon Cooper | duration: 2 seconds
The bass drums leads this song with a mesmerizing pulse, followed by a simple repetitive guitar line. The song maintains the basic theme throughout, but builds until the end, where it ends with the pulse of the bass drum again.

Quirky and hypnotic retro classical piece, with a heavy influence from Italian traditional music and Baltic/Gypsy music as well.
With a somewhat funny and unusual mystery aura, investigative and foggy.
A repetitive cello pizzicato progression is surrounded by a series of dreamy chromatic melodies on mandolin, clarinet, flute, celesta, glockenspiel, basson, harmonium and violin.
This piece could easily fit a Frederico Fellini's surreal scene.

Heroic epos. Starts very dramatic and mysterious with lots of bass and then Horns play the main theme, moving to a climax. Than, dramatic atmosphere returns. Great as a soundtrack for film, trailer or credits run, intro. Also fits any war, fantasy video game.
composer: Sergei Stern | duration: 138 seconds
Poignant, gentle guitar over deep strings and ethnic drums resolve to quiet accomplishment.
composer: Brilliant Music | duration: 45 seconds
Pensive and pulsating underscore for film, drama, documentary, crime & law, forensics, science etc. Interspersed with occasional sound effect elements. Creepy suspenseful and uneasy.

Perfect CSI fodder. Cool hip hop groove, Seriously nasty sound design, raw authentic moog and oberheim analog lines and stuttered guitars. Antagonistic and thought provoking from top to tail!
composer: Dave Klotz | duration: 177 seconds
