Plaintive electric guitar - not too heavy - spells out anguish over simple orchestral backing.
composer: Brilliant Music | duration: 75 seconds
A touching and melancholic drama or film underscore cue. A few tender piano notes with subtle, sweeping strings. Nostalgic, time for reflection, dear memories, perhaps loss and sorrow.
composer: Yuri Sazonoff | duration: 76 seconds
An Eight minute, moody, rubato orchestral piece that creates a sense of unanswered questions. Full of tension, it develops over 3 sections, finishing with a final payoff that is well worth the wait. Tense, dramatic and visually stimulating, this piece can stand as a both a feature theme or underscore.
composer: Dave Klotz | duration: 507 seconds
