The Fallen [Cinematic Orchestral]

Crimson Reverie is a heartfelt journey, a poetic exchange between introspective vulnerability and self-assured strength. It's about summoning the courage to confront inner shadows and emerging with a newfound confidence. This musical experience guides you through these emotions, ultimately leading to a triumphant sense of self-belief.

Crimson Reverie [Cinematic Orchestral]

Solace in the Stars is a heroic, epic and majestic cinematic orchestral theme infusing the sound canvas of analog synthesizers with human voice, orchestral instruments and powerful percussion. 

The track builds it's foundation around a synth ostinato, adding new elements to it piece by piece, growing the track to a climax before calming down to a mellow, reflective middle section. It then gives way to another buildup, this time leading to a final conclusion and a definite closure.

Of Sky And Stars [BBCSO Demo]

In the vein of 80's sci-fi movie soundtracks and modern sci-fi video game soundtracks, Insomniatic is a theme for the neon lights, sleepless at 4 AM, gigantic corporations going for world domination and the lonely, small people surrounded by it all.
