Ambient, introspective strings and synth; with feelings of slow suspension & disbelief – and even grief… but with a smidge of hope.

Aphelion
An epic, cinematic hybrid track – starting out slow and contemplative, but building to an epic, emotional energy with synth and full orchestra. Feels like discovering your purpose in the depths of space. 🚀
Convergence
An emotional, melancholic (but also surprisingly upbeat) track with strings and synth – with a final section with a subtle 4/4 kick creating a driving energy.
Phoenix (2026)
A new arrangement of a work of the same title from 2018 – stripped back to purely chamber strings, creating a more intimate, minimalist rendition. The work is a cyclic series of canons – repeating motifs spread across the instruments, creating wonderful little moments of both tension and release.
Memories Of Stone
Peaceful, bittersweet strings and brass. It reminds me of deep time – exploring the ruins of a lost civilisation. Featuring Hardanger fiddle that evokes a feeling of mournful longing.
Starfire
Hopeful, epic sci-fi orchestra for your next year-long space mission; something to play as you calculate your next slingshot around the sun.
Wildflowers
A contemplative, bittersweet reflection on the year, and my hopes for what might come in 2026. Piano & strings, starting out softly and building to a more energetic ending.
Song Of The Forge
An epic dwarven war march; a working song transformed into a cue straight from Lord of the Rings. Full orchestra, dramatic choir and ringing anvils!
Origami
Smooth, upbeat electro-jazz, with an off-kilter groove that gets your head boppin’. Perfect for your next city-builder, or perhaps even some corporate espionage.
Born Of The Sky
A short but punchy track embracing uplifting heroism! Unashamedly optimistic, fun, and bright – featuring not only my usual orchestra, but swells into some energetic drum/guitar for some next level vibes!
Penumbra
An emotional, bittersweet work for string orchestra, atmospheric synth and field-recorded sounds. A tender, glacial meditation steeped in longing and atmosphere.
Eyes In The Void
A dark, chaotic orchestral track featuring a glitchy, high-suspense atmosphere, descending into a gothic orchestral march. Existential, cosmic horror!
Echoes Of Home
A warm, nostalgic orchestral track with the gentle vibes similar to the Zelda games, and Studio Ghibli films.
Incredulity
An incredulous response to the weird state of our world. Introspective piano, strings and synth, with moments of suspended dissonance.
Honour Among Thieves
A rolicking, driving folk-rock track featuring the kitchen sink – guitars, accordions, irish winds, and some energetic vocals (by yours truly!). Perfect for your next tavern brawl.
Amberlight
A soft, nostalgic piano and orchestral track that has slight Thomas Newman Americana vibes, mixed with that warm, welcoming sound of Joe Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli.
Simulacra
High-energy hybrid orchestral action! Perfect for high-octane chase sequences, roof-top pursuits, or boss battles! Arpeggiated synths, chugging electric guitar, rhythmic strings and chaotic brass.
Ride The Wind
An exotic, bold and adventurous track featuring epic orchestra and emotional female vocals. Time to go find the horizon!
Meanwhile
Ethereal, atmospheric piano, with heavily effected synth, creating a liquid, dreamy world to float in. Strings enter around 2:30, elevating things towards a bittersweet ending.
Winter Waltz
A folky-but-classical waltz for the dark winter months (if you’re in the northern hemisphere right now…). Full orchestra with choir for some extra drama!
