An ambient piece that seems to capture the wonder and longing of the afterlife. It can soothe your mind and cause a feeling of peace, but also conjure up nostalgic feelings of the past or a strange sense of the future, hinting at our own eternal nature and destiny.
composer: Erick McNerney | duration: 116 seconds
Brooding,atmospheric track with dark pads,edgy synths and percussive beats.Tension is building up and something eerie is in the air.It can work great for tv crime shows,films and video games.
composer: Konstantinos Panagiotidis | duration: 150 seconds
This track combines delay guitar with a smooth synth delay. Drums eventually combine with this to create a perfect track for technology scenes, science scenes, science fiction, mystery, thrillers and more. This would also work well in fantasy scenes and retro 80's tech sounds.
composer: Christopher Wiseman and Christopher Purner | duration: 56 seconds
A slow and obscure prepared/fixed piano piece great for dark, weird cues. Starting out overcast and depressing this track does find a brief moment of acceptance of the problem before returning to the dark side. Music meets sound design creates a wicked, evil and confusing vibe.
composer: Chris Hodges | duration: 85 seconds
A moody hybrid cinematic theme with arpeggiated synths and guitars,electronic drums and multiple accents.

Remember those old westerns and gangster movies. This has all the atmosphere of those films but with a modern dubstep sound. The banjo lead together with the bass and firm beats is perfect for modern western sci-fi and gangster like movies, series.

Innovative, animated, mood setting music! Lively bells, guitar, and quick orchestral strings bring energy and wonderment to your production. Use this in shows about learning, breakthroughs in science, explaining how things work, and news reports. Sounds like it belongs on the Discovery Channel, or maybe in a magical adventure.
