Fast paced metal song with wicked cool synths/guitar harmonics throughout...verses are open and free, building to the big heavy, in your face chorus. Picture a dozen airplanes in a dog fight, or an airstrike by the good guys, just when you think there is no hope for survival. This song would be a good sound bed for any action scene, and also for various hard hitting sports themes. Nice pace and movement...
Tense, angry, powerful intro with big guitars...open, mysterious verses with clean guitars building into heavy intro/chorus theme. The title says it all...you can feel the hero (or villain?) lying in wait, in preparation of the ultimate ambush! Possible uses, various sports themes, and film/tv cues represneting tension (being trapped, struggling to break free, wanting someone to save you), hero saving someone
J and The 9s (Birth) ** instrumental version **
Hard hitting rock song with an aggressive guitar riff paired with powerful drums. Perfect for creating a rocking atmosphere and vibe
Mid-tempo and heavy "paced" guitars with space in verses, leading into full chorus. Very modern/alternative treatment. This song is reminiscent of a fight scene in the style of Rocco Bonetti, the great Renaissance Italian fencing master. Song would be good for any type of action scenes, sports themes, thriller scenes, and of course a good sword fight to the death!!
Action synthesizer piece that contains 80's infused sounds. Good background for sportscasts, weather forecasts, news, or computer graphics content.
Tense orchestral piece that would fit well in any suspense or action sequence. Characters could be in a desperate race against the clock. Would also be a great underlying theme for a newscast, sportscast, or commercial.
Brian Levering ** instrumental version **
Guns N Roses style hard rock music that features killer guitar playing and a high energy groove! Could work in action scenes, sports recaps, bar room scenes or anything that needs some good old fashioned rock and roll!
SM2 (Strange Symmetry) ** instrumental version **
Up tempo acoustic guitar based rock song ala Matchbox 20, Rob Thomas...lots of movement to this one. Good for travel scenes and montages. Would work for lab scenes or evidence collection in your favorite CSI shows. Also perfect for advertising campaigns...phones, retail, travel, shopping, and more!
Sherri Mullen (On The Edge)
Alt Rock - Edgey, nervewracking drums, nice breakdown at 1min 40 sec...great for chase scenes, action scenes, and "tough guy" sports...downhill skiing, speed skating, racing, football, hockey, boxing
Egon and the Slimers (Searching For An Exit Door) ** Instrumental Version **
Aggressive hard rock music with a Nirvana In Utero vibe. Hard hitting drums, heavy distorted guitars, and a cacophony of feedback that will take any action scene up a notch or three!
Cam Alexander ** instrumental version **
Featuring electronic artist Cam Alexander, Falling Apart has a dreamy electronic sound that evokes feelings of coming of age and following your dreams.
Very fast paced, hard driving rock song with several guitar themes/movements, and intermittent breaks. You can almost picture two airplanes in an intense firefight! Good for sports, chase scenes, vampire, action, chaos, confusion, and supernatural type themes.
A trip back in time to the old-school, retro air band days. Instrumental- all guitars and heavy on the energy. Rock on!
J and The 9s (Birth) ** instrumental version **
Grooving rock with a sexy and sultry vibe. Perfect for setting a rock and roll scene and character.
Egon and the Slimers (Searching For An Exit Door) ** Instrumental Version **
A head-banging rock tune to get any party started! Great for a montage scene of someone riding a motorcycle or background music being played at a bar. The added keyboard effects are also great for a space-themed film.
SM2 (Strange Symmetry) ** instrumental version **
Up tempo and fun acoustic guitar based song with a blues meets bluegrass feel to the leads and fills! We be jammin' on this one! Works for a variety of visual themes including love, relationships, travel, sports, vacations, or characters dating or getting to know each other. Also a nice backdrop for ad campaigns.
Hard driving and fast paced...very modern and alternative. Yeah...it's okay to go fast, but kick in the NITRUS, and you fly (for a short while)!Action & chase scenes, love gone bad, bad guy stalking victim, muscle sports & fast paced sports (weight lifting, luge, downhill skiing, snowboarding, speed skating, football)
SM2 (Strange Symmetry)
Hard rock - Piano underneath and a heavy riff reminiscent of Muse's "Stockholm Syndrome".
Uplifting, cinematic pop rock which suggests hope and victory are close at hand! Repeating piano ostinato over a huge wash of big synths, which gives way in the chorus to a heroic melody played by two trumpets,all supported by a gritty rock guitar.
High energy, powerful, intro/choruses that would be perfect for sports...especially full contact (football, hockey) or sports with movement or element of danger (skiing, luge, speed skating). Intense and full of energy. Great for horror movies, vampires, ghosts,chase, bad guy trying to shoot good guy, and MORE!!
J and The 9s (Birth) ** instrumental version **
Funk styled rock and roll with a grooving bass line. Features a driving drum beat and an electrifying guitar solo.
Up tempo, alternative rock song - good for sports, chase scenes, driving, action...good guy chasing bad guy...or perhaps the other way around!
J and The 9s (Birth) ** instrumental version **
Upbeat punk rock with a driving bass line, aggressive drums, and an intense guitar solo for the perfect climax!
Cool arpeggio "chorused" guitar/synth intro, verses have strange guitars bouncing back and forth...chorus has heavy, driving guitars. We've all floated in and out of that scarey dream, so glad to wake up and find it is not true. But what if the dream was peaceful and the awakening held frightening surprises. Great for sports, action, chaos, mystery and more
Strange, erie industrial goth rock...verses focus on a drum beat..then chorus hits with guitars, synths, and weird fuzzy drums. Fits any theme that is creepy or where tension is desired. Good for scenes where someone is hiding and being pursued by the creepy bad guy...they hide, bad guy stalks, and then they RUN LIKE HELL to get away from him!
J and The 9s (Birth) ** instrumental version **
Flute mixed with a raging guitar riff sets a strong and upbeat feel. A shocking guitar solo, breakdown, and flute solo at the bridge paves way for a strong finish.
Cam Alexander (Falling Apart)
Creating a sense of unease, as if a storm is coming, this electronica piece can be used to show anything from tense scenes to club/party scenes!
SM2 (Strange Symmetry) ** instrumental version **
Tense, flowing mid tempo, hard grungy rock with thick, deep, sound and Godsmack esque (ala "Voodoo") drums. This one is great for the big screen. Cops, stalking, vampires, bad guys, action, adventure, dream scenes, and a great soundbed for sports!!!!
Brian Levering ** instrumental version **
Loud, aggressive, angry punk music similar to the Pixies. Features lots of guitar soloing. Perfect for scenes of gangs or bikers.
The Lone Wolf Project ** instrumental version **
Aggressive acoustic piece that provides a feeling of oncoming dread. Perfect for introducing the troubled hero or the next boss in town!
Cam Alexander (Falling Apart)
Creating a feeling, like it's the calm before or after the storm, this piece could be used to show a great time between friends coming to a close, the aftermath of a dramatic plot twist, or a high energy gathering, like a wedding reception!
Quick zany ragtime piece. Good for Old black and white footage, comedic scenes, or that special scene in football where the ball is fumbled 2-3 times and eventually still ends up in the end zone!
SM2 (Strange Symmetry) ** instrumental version **
Acoustic guitar reggae-rock infused song with hand percussion throughout. Great for travel, driving, discovery, adventure and would be perfect in ad campaigns and sports highlights. Happy, feel good, vibe!
Breanne Primeau (Take The First Step) ** instrumental version ** Featuring: The 9ths
Driving rock instrumental with propulsive drums, melodic guitars, and thundering bass.
Brian Levering ** instrumental version **
Heavy alternative rock music with an electronic feel. Has a sinister sound to it which could work for say a horror/vampire film.
Experimental dance/electronica that features frequent changes in texture and vibe. Choruses are ideal for any intense scene that needs a lot of energy and verses are good to bring the scene down a notch.
SM2 (Strange Symmetry) ** instrumental version **
Quirky guitar and piano based pop tango that should've been written by Quentin Tarantino. "Marching" drums throughout and makes you want to dance oh so mysteriously. From "Dancing With The Stars" to sports shows...has a real tension to it, so would also be great for action, adventure, travel, exploration, and a great backdrop for animal planet type of films. This one is fun and mysterious at the same time!
