Eternal Terminal

"Eternal Terminal"

Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Bass Clarinet, Tubas, Trombones, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes, French Horns

Feel: Dark, Driving, Epic

I like the waterphone in this piece. It is a bunch of metal tubes welded together, and played with a bow. It is that creepy high-pitched thing you hear in horror movies all the time.

Darkling

"Darkling"

Instruments: Percussion, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Flutes, Clarinets

Feel: Action, Driving, Dark

Pulsing Dooom! Recommended for use in all your various adventure-y side-scrollers with lots of shooting or stabbing, and the occasional jump-scare. Should loop really great!

Nightmare Machine

"Nightmare Machine"

Instruments: Percussion, Organ, Basses

Feel: Action, Driving, Eerie

This piece shares a bassline with "Eternal Terminal" (found elsewhere on this site). It also has the same waterphone. You can use these 2 pieces together and make it seem like your project had a custom composer! How cool is that!?

"Death and Axes"

Instruments: Percussion, Trumpets, French Horns, Trombones, Tuba, Cimbasso, Clarinets, Flutes, Piccolo, Oboe, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Chimes

Holy epic action. Just look at the instruments in this! The piece shall now speak for itself.

Malicious

"Malicious"

Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Cellos, Violins, Flutes, Clarinets

Feel: Dark, Driving, Eerie

More action and more intensity! Remember "Legends of the Hidden Temple"? Seriously? It only lasted 3 seasons. It must have been more difficult than it looked. Okay, I wasn't on the show, but I think I could have assembled a silver monkey statue with only 3 pieces.

Division

"Division"

Instruments: Piano, Basses, Cellos, Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes, English Horn, Percussion

Feel: Dark, Driving, Intense

This is an awesome theme tune. For ANYthing. You got a dark comedy about an inept biologist? This will work. A gritty fantasy dealing with fairy politics? A sci-fi dystopian future where everyone likes sardines? A reality show about bicycle thieves? A slice-of-life serial about growing up in the Upper Peninsula? Seriously. Anything.

Industrial Cinematic

"Industrial Cinematic"

Instruments: Percussion, Synths

Feel: Driving, Suspenseful

The Year: Future Year. The planet has been ravaged by desertification... that apparently no one saw coming... Not sure how that happened, I mean Jeez! Anyone ever hear of a little disaster called "The Aral Sea"? That seriously screwed up... like... everything. I guess the dam is supposed to help, but I'm seriously not holding my breath. Oh. Industrial-sounding music.

Crypto

"Crypto"

Instruments: Flute, Percussion, Synths

Feel: Dark, Eerie, Unnerving, Suspenseful

Very moody little piece with some melodic interest. Tension could be high grade or low grade depending on your context. Waiting for a drug deal to go through in Belize? This'll work. Concerned about the health of your hyacinth macaw while waiting at the vet office? This'll work. Waiting for the OSHA all-clear at your box factory? This'll work. It is mainly about waiting for things. Probably not good things.

Phantom from Space

"Phantom from Space"

Instruments: Piano, Percussion, Synth

Feel: Eerie, Mysterious

I need to be careful about naming these things. Could be neo-retro sci-fi - could be straight up paranormal! Whatever it is, there is a major mystery to be had here! Ideal for technology-induced mummy reanimation films. The alternate mixes in the full download both give a slightly different feel - one with no percussion, and one without the theremin-like synth lead.

Urban Gauntlet

"Urban Gauntlet"

Instruments: Percussion, synths, strings

Feel: Epic, Intense

Action-y intense like percussion based piece. Need to defuse a bomb while riding in a pedi-cab? This should work well for that. Or anything where tension needs to be maintained. You can download this in uncompressed format here! Download comes with individual tracks so you can make your own mixes.

The Descent

"The Descent"

Instruments: French Horns, Trombones, Tuba, Violins, Percussion, Trumpet

Feel: Action, Dark, Driving, Epic, Intense

Driving piece without an overpowering melody. Should fit nicely into a lot of scenes.
This piece of music is available in an uncompressed format here.
