Tracks (28)

  1. Tourist Invasion UBM 2471

    'That's wonderful' sings a clownesque voice over fast piano and percussion. A quirky track for commercials, cartoons or posts about circuses and carnivals.

  2. G In Da House TWPM 024

    Swagger hard-hitting urban beat with hooky massive synth lead and distorted vinyl samples.

  3. Mellow Evening UBM 2500

    Slow ballad brushed groove on the snare drum. Soothing, floating, gives the ambiance of a large space. 74 BPM.

  4. Nervous Robot UBM 2259

    Robots are becoming more and more independent and artificial intelligence has long ceased to be a fantasy. This track describes a threatening mood triggered by uncontrollable technologies.

  5. Mice On Rollerskates UBM 2456

    Curious composition for electronic organ and flute. Hasty, funny, idiosyncratic.

  6. Sad And Lonely Cello UBM 2512

    Neoclassical solo cello. Raw, poignant, dramatic.

  7. Bubblegum Dreams UBM 2485

    A squeaky synth line, glitchy vocal snippets and a friendly pounding beat characterize this track. Hyperpop straight out of the GenZ youth room.

    Syncopated piece for partially prepared piano over a steady rhythmic motif which slightly ironically suggests the restlessness of a bumpy journey.

  9. Tick Tack UBM 2304

    Organic mid tempo, ideal for physics and science

  10. Fighting The Stygian Colossus UBM 2493

    In the tall grass outside the gates of the sleepy little village, our protagonist meets a few bad-tempered forest dwellers. Suspenseful and combative.

  11. Psycho Leaders UBM 2244

    Experimental, avantgarde string piece with bits of noise and free improvisation. Disharmonious, troubling, ominous, sinister. Underscore version with added free drumming.

  12. Jumping Frog UBM 2216

    Utterly strange tune with break beat and fast moving electronics.

  13. Progress UBM 2351

  14. Spooky Waltz TWPM 033

    Quirky, whimsical orchestral waltz featuring catchy Theremin melody.

  15. Hacker Blues UBM 2249

    Strangely oppressive sound that doesn't bode well. Feelings like nervousness or discomfort can be well underlined with this electronic track.

  16. Jack's Way UBM 2443

    A lonely, reverberated trumpet is floating over a soundscape of staccato notes on the piano and rumbling low frequencies, joined by sparse double bass notes with a searching quality.

  25. He Is A Real Teaser UBM 2235

    Tongue-in-cheek, slow tempo, classical cartoon sound.
