Simple, elegant, acoustic-based tune that quietly builds to a satisfying conclusion, without sacrificing its mood of quiet restraint. A mellow fluegelhorn lead provides satisfying complexity. Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
Heartfelt ballad of lifelong love. Speaks to new lovers that feel special kinship and long-term lovers, when the spark goes on. The song is also appropriate and requested as a funeral feature. Female Vocals, Pop, Pop Ballad
It's a train song! High energy, driving beat and all acoustic. Authentic, fingerpicked guitar lead, backed by clean drums, upright bass, fiddle backer and bluesy harmonica. Somewhere between bluegrass and old-time music. Highlights speed, action, a race, a train, a car, a horse in motion. Instrumental, Country, Bluegrass
Insistent, medium-tempo motion interlude. Something's happening here. Setting the plan in motion, ringing up miles or motion, pulling the pieces together. There's no rush here. Just solid, forward motion in a way that gets things done. Undeniable, active, progressive. Instrumental, New Age, Contemporary Instr
Soothing instrumental love song. Gentle, open arrangement of acoustic guitars, mandolin and murmur of piano. String section builds to modulation in the third verse, and introduction of a simple hand drum. Supports images or narration in a gentle build to a new scene, a loving climax. Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
:60 sec. jazz-tinged arrangement of the Christmas classic. Clean, spare, simple, hip. Jazz electric guitar backed by tasteful Fender Rhodes. A la Earl Klugh/Bob James, Instrumental, Christmas, Xmas Jazz Ens.
A man walks steadily, deliberately. Ambiance includes some distant voices and vehicles. One section includes nearby hammering. There's no fear, no delay. It's happening now. Humans,
A gentle stringband anthem to the approach of evening, soft breezes and feelings that are somehow almost too much to express. Acoustic finger-picked guitar, lyrical mandolin, reedy harmonic gently intertwine and lift us ever farther up and farther in. These are moments we'll remember and cherish. Instrumental, New Age, New Age Acoustic
Thoughtful, hopeful acoustic guitar leads to an uplifting woodwind midsection, building to an emotional close. It's an emotional homecoming, the gift that changes everything, the maturing child leaving home or returning. Autumn leaves drifting into the yard that will always be home. Sweet guitar, Instrumental, Corporate, Radio/Multimedia
Acoustic guitar-based version of the traditional Christmas song. Guitar harmonic chimes ring out an introduction and newly composed bridge material help to relieve the original, hymm-like repitition. Instrumental, Christmas, Xmas New Age
Theme music. An intricate, iteresting, melodic opening to a show or segment. Quiet, assured, regal. Romantic serene calming and classy. Family and children, morning coffee, brand new day. Uplifting, happiness, starting over, flashbacks to summer and good times. Instrumental, New Age, Contemporary Instr
A positive, acoustic affirmation of significant moments in a life. Subtle, gentle confluence of mellow acoustic guitar with oboe, harp, and strings, give the song a simple elegance and slow, moving build. Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
Soft, romantic, a walk on the beach. Cool acoustic guitar, hip electric piano pairing. A first romance, time away. Sensual alluring tender sunny new day starting over, flashbacks, holding hands, boy meets girl. Sunsets, pina coladas, feeling the sensuality of the day and just being together. Instrumental, Jazz, Latin Jazz
There's something at stake. Techno with a loopy, spacey vibe plus heart-felt, emotional melodic rise. Music for a scene that's off-center, but not without hope or passion. A come-from-behind theme. Trying to win it anyway. Instrumental, Sports, Sports Inspiration Music
Revelation, as it all becomes clear. The landscape shimmers, the planets slide smoothly past one another in a kind of ballet. The ship settles, the mist clears, the moment crystalizes, is transformed. Time melts by and perception shifts. These are the anticipated moments and life changes forever. Instrumental, Science Fiction, Ambient Soundscape
Outside street market in a small American town. Slight P.A. (between songs) rock band ambiance behind and band starts song at track end. Lots of light chatter, blurred with possible exception of phrase "are you freezing" near end, which could be bumped up or down as needed. Ambience,
An intro or transition theme. Mysterious foreboding, dark little pot boiler, perking up trouble and danger ahead. Open plains, lone cowboy, road trip, regrets, tension rising, betrayals. Nightfall is coming and unknown consequences await. That car behind you is coming up quick, could be trouble. Instrumental, Dangerous, Dark Music
:47 sec. simple, tasteful acoustic transition. No synth. Acoustic guitars and expressive mandolin render a contemplative music bed for opening, closing or scene change, inviting heartfelt video or images. Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
Gentle, soothing music. Sensitive oboe and acoustic guitar leads. Expressive, great for storytelling and mood-setting. Instrumental, New Age, Atmospheres
It's a laid back sandy-beach afternoon to spend with somebody cool and an icy drink with an umbrella. Real soprano sax, doubled, glides from the hi fi on a bed of smooth percussion, hand drums and more, with tangy overtones of steel. Imagine the two of you here together as the sun sets. Instrumental, Tropical, Afro-Caribbean
