Horizons
A textural, melancholy piece for piano and strings, with a driving arpeggiated synth that propels it forward. Slightly optimistic, with moments that build, and others that fade away.
Absolution
A bittersweet, contemplative classical track featuring string orchestra, with violin and cello solos. Drops away to a floating, dreamy middle section at 2:57, building to a final, intense statement of the main theme.
Discovery
A driving, optimistic hybrid orchestral track featuring arpeggiated synth and dramatic brass & strings, with a momentary section of solo cello – a symphonic poem to those who boldly go.
Soar
An inspirational, uplifting orchestral theme that sounds straight from a 90s family adventure. This would also work for a Christmas holiday special!
Machina
A glitchy, electronic ambient track evoking the atmospheric scores of classic 80’s science fiction.
Undertow
A sombre, ebbing piano/string/synth track. Inspired by times where life takes unexpected turns; sometimes you just can’t help but be pulled with it.
Emergent
A dramatic, driving orchestral hybrid track featuring moody synths and strings creating a mysterious and dark atmosphere, but building up to an emotional, epic finish.
Inbound
An uplifting, inspiring orchestral track which slowly builds to a brassy, soaring finish.
Filaments
Sombre, warm piano meanders around simple, emotional strings and synths. Drops away, but then builds up to a dramatic finish at around 4:10.
March of Midnight
A fiendish orchestral march for the bleak, the broken and the undying. Lots of dark brass signals your impending doom! Happy Halloween, 2019! ?
Neon
My first attempt at synth wave! Moody 80s-inspired electronica, feat. arpeggiated synths, pads and even a synth lead solo at the end!
Borealis
A contemplative, slow-moving ambient track, with slight uplifting tone. Inspired by the quiet stillness of the boreal forests around our new home here in Sweden.
Omega
An emotional, bittersweet orchestral hybrid track, starting with solo cello and a synth ostinato, and slowly driving towards a full orchestral backend.
Sleep
A dreamy, wofting ambient piano track with slightly wonky strings adding a floating atmosphere. Like flying through a dream!
The Illusionist
A mysterious, ever-building track with a slight air of melancholy. Featuring full orchestra and choir.
Tears in Rain
Not necessarily a direct Blade Runner reference, but a nod to the notion of losing memories to time. Subtle, ambient synths and beats mixed with simple piano and strings, with a more driving backend.
Monomyth – The Distant Sun
All journeys start here – the place of safety and calm, but looking to the stars and dreaming of a different life; a different world. Effected strings and solo cello set the scene, creating a calm, but not quite serene atmosphere. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Call
Our lives have their own excitement, and they help us see the beyond the mundane and reach for the stars. The Monomyth main theme gets its first dramatic airing, with full orchestral and driving percussion & electronics, but dropping away to a sobering reminder of the protagonist’s place in the universe. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
Monomyth – The Things That Keep Us Here
Family. Duty. The things that keep us grounded, what keep us from giving up on our hopes, but what also holds us back from stepping across the precipice into the unknown. Ambient, effected piano and synth create a thoughtful, slightly melancholy atmosphere. Part of the ‘Monomyth’ album project.
