A very spacious mellow track with piano, strings, an emotional cello and lush electronic sounds. The beautiful melancholic melody gives you a feeling of emptiness and alone on the world. Very suitable for drama and spiritual programs, films.

Innocent and clean dubstep turning into a grimey monster with a brutal bassline after the drop / breakdown at around 0:30 (Great edit point!) Calms down later on like nothing ever happened. Great for commercials and intros that need a smart buildup and a huge drop.
Take a deep breath before you press Play!

Powerful, epic trailer music! A driving string ostinato carries the listener on a dark journey that builds in intensity all the way through to the end. Noble french horn swells add a touch or heroic presence and the low brass amplifies the tension. Choral voices join in the rich field of sound. This is perfect for movie advertising or anything that needs boosted into the dramatic stratosphere. Sounds like Hans Zimmer, Tron Legacy, Two Steps From Hell.
