As a kid in suburbia, Stuart was trapped and forced to listen to AM radio. Had it not been for his college roommate Dirk, he would have withered and died in a wedding band. You gotta love Stuart and his great music!
Dirk introduced Stuart to David Sylvian, Eddie Palmieri, XTC and Jobim. Year after year these new rhythms, chords and harmonies seeped into Stuart's brain and were eventually released through his songwriting.He then realized that all of those classic songs that he'd been trying to deny had one important thing in common: good songwriting. He's come full circle now that he write scores for film and television. His music may have a cool rhythm or new combination of instruments, but it will always have the elements of good songwriting: a satisfying combination of the known and the unknown. Background production music, instrumental dramatic tension tracks.
Versatile, cool, rhythmic uptempo piece. Could be the entrance of a sexy and slightly menacing character, a tense stare-down or lengthy montage of a challenge leading to a conclusion. Dramatic, Smooth Music
Slight Celtic tone. Wistful, romantic, elegiac piece. Evoking memories of a beautiful time. Think "growing love" montage in a sunny country setting or memories of a very happy time with soulmate. Dramatic, Tender music
Vibraphone, easy tempo. Cool, rhythmic, jazzy, bluesey. Sophisticated, elegant setting. Quietly romantic and sexy. Evokes feelings of a late night jazz club. Dramatic, Calm Mellow Music
Guitar, drum and percussion heavy. Rhythmic. Fast tempo. Psychological thriller, mysterious. A cool tension is developing and growing. Understanding is being gained. Dramatic, Contemplative Music
Starts out tense and unsure, but gains in confidence and the mood lightens. Building instrumentals adds to spirit of fun, funkiness, lightness. Dramatic, Energizing Music
Medium fast tempo. Bell-like sounds, generally high notes. Evokes childhood nostalgia, winter, Christmas, gentle snow, sense of quiet excitement, safety. Happier times. Dramatic, Ethereal Music
Easy pulsing sexy tempo. Evokes introduction of character to be seen as incredibly cool in any situation, maybe even too cool in a comic or sinister way. Walking tempo, very contained. Dramatic, Smooth Music
Medium tempo, rhythmic, non-repetitive piece. Mostly a contemplative deep piece with a rock beat; evokes feelings of decisions, weighing options, slightly melancholic, bittersweet and regretful. Dramatic, Contemplative Music
Tragic, mournful, solemn, sad, heartbroken, love lost. Reflective, sentimental. Feeling of "how can life go on"? Anguished, going through the paces. Zombie-like sleepwalking. Depression, numbness, deep loss. Dramatic, Sad Music
Smooth, cool, jazzy, funky, easygoing. Builds from feeling of "nothing going on" to upbeat. Evokes feeling of getting party started or re-starting from lull. One by one, people join in dancing, enjoying performance or good feelings, friendly. Late night, after midnight. Dramatic, Smooth Music
Childlike piano theme gives way to more sinister music, but in fun, satirical manner. Cartoon, comedy, farcical or Clouseau type creeping. Evokes a set with many doors and people sneaking to different rooms. Campy, melodramatic, over-the-top. Dramatic, Whimsical Music
Energizing, positive percussion eighties-style beat. Good for cool character introduction, mood change in any direction, montage, dance sequence. Ready to get groovy, let loose. Dramatic, Energizing Music
Easy, romantic, mellow, soft jazz, late night clubby tone. Sense of unwinding, eroticism, new age, subtle, slow dance feel. Peaceful, reflective, subtle mood piece. Dramatic, Romantic Music
Latin beat, tango, passionate, romantic, erotic, hot, sexy. Bold, seriously flirtatious. Also usable as comedy "heist" caper music or bedroom farce, comic misadventure at romance, romantic comedy. Overblown satire, a funny, sneaky Tango! Dramatic, Romantic Music
Ethereal, dreamy, nightmarish. Childhood games interrupted by danger. A person not knowing they are in a dangerous situation. Whimsy interrupted by threats. Crazy, psychological, paranoid. Dramatic, Ethereal Music
Medium fast tempo. Ethereal, dreamy, fantasy fairy tale, swords sorcery, magic, spells, occult, dark arts, gothic, danger, sense of the forbidden, tension, danger, subtle nightmarish energy. Mystical, spells, epic, witchcraft. Dramatic, Ethereal Music
