Suspenseful action track! Big beats and eerie ambiences make this a scary, tense track, while an edgy synth-bass melody ups the ante with ominous action. Danger is right behind you. The dark night is an accomplice to the stalkers, vampires, and criminals right on your heels. Use this as underscore in contemporary drama, CSI and true-crime shows.
composer: Joel Steudler | duration: 120 seconds

Alternates include underscores, beds and seamless loops.

Minimalist electro-acoustic track, driven by repeated chime and bell patterns over a processed beat. Gradually builds in intensity, and winds down with a reflective piano melody. Positive in tone, with a futuristic quality, making it useful for scientific, technological, dreamy and ethereal scenes.

Sparse mangled percussion interjects this dangerous and tense sounding synth bed. Sneaking around the complex, or a voiceover for a serious issue.
composer: Richard Wilkinson | duration: 171 seconds
Slow tempo aggressive track with electronic sounds and driving beat. Suitable for film or documentary that requires modern, bizarre feel.
composer: Miroslav Saric | duration: 103 seconds
Strong and energetic, played by a confident solo piano, this exuberant track is sure to create excitement.
composer: Matthew Prins | duration: 105 seconds
The track builds and the clock ticks! Can they do it in time? A plucked string track with light stabbing strings and a big crescendo at the end. A subtle variation on "countdown music". A good fit for documentary, lifestyle, reality and Game shows. Tick tock percussion is a must!
