Kevin MacLeod - Deep Haze

Tango De Manzana

Kevin MacLeod - Relent

This has a little bit of early music flair to it with a nice vocal performance (if you don't like the vocals, you can get a version without in the super download). I've listened to this piece non-stop for like an hour. Still beautiful! The least you could do is listen to this once! It is only a few minutes. Go ahead!

Intrepid

79 bpm
Guitar, Percussion, Diddley Bow, Flute, Oboe

Originally written as an establishing shot for a psychological thriller. This has a very earthy/folky feel about it. Little slow, little edgy... I don't know. Take a listen. I mean, I'll keep trying to describe this but, I'm not doing too well here. There's this flute thing... oh. Yeah, it says that already... uhh... Slightly creepy movie score? Yet oddly comforting? Sure. Let's go with that.

Crowd Hammer

We've all been there. It is a little sad, a little hopeful... like when you finally set your rescue owl back into the world. You're sad to see her go, but you hope for the best. You've done all you can inside... her wings work pretty well now, and she can snatch the mice from your living room floor even when you put in a bunch of fake plants in the way to give the prey cover. Nothing to do now but hope Blossom can rule the night as you hoped she one day would. Also... time to buy a bunch of mousetraps.

Heavy Heart

Mystic Force by Kevin MacLeod

Sometimes you do things with little expectation of how it is going to finally turn out. 

Maybe you're making a hummus and cauliflower pizza roll... Will it work? Who knows! You can sort of make the hummus taste like Italian hummus if you use enough oregano, basil, and... chili flakes or something. So, then you make it, and realize it should be called a "Flaccid Spiced Hummus Ball". Eating a flaccid spiced hummus ball helps to assess your life choices... that eventually led you to eating a flaccid spiced hummus ball.  

Master Disorder

Several distinct moods are found in this piece. They start at 0:00, 1:23, 2:31, and 3:10. They do all flow into each other, but can be sliced apart pretty easily. Some are quite beautiful, so stick with this piece. Excellent piece for filmmakers!


Vanishing

River of Io


104 bpm
Flutes, Clarinets, Strings, Percussion


I would like to state, for the record, that this is the worst river cruise I've ever taken. The zombie crocodiles were bad enough, but the chase for the stolen artifact statue that was taken by the Ice Monkey Lord was really quite too much. And now I'm missing my left shoe. So why are we up sneaking around UFO landing sites? NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!!!
You got some clandestine stuff going on? This track will probably work for any sneakiness anywhere.

River of Io

Ascending the Vale


90 bpm
Harp, Choir, Flute, Percussion, Anyafil Horn


We've all been there... wandering through an impenetrable forest, half dead with 2 arrows sticking out of your leg. And yet we continue - because it is probably good for the narrative. Then hope! Oh thank the old gods and the new!! An unmapped settlement of woodland inhabitants takes you in and brings you back from the brink of certain death. You don't even care that it is a scurry of giant squirrels that came to the rescue, or that the healing soup they give you is largely acorn-based, and vomit-inducing.
Pastoral and beautiful. The download comes with a loop for if you never want the feeling to end.

Ascending the Vale

Bittersweet
Cello, Piano, Synth, Choir
73bpm


Ok, I might be crying a little bit. But it is understandable... I went to a party store, and I saw all the colorful balloons with happy sayings on them like "Get Well" and "Feel Better" and "A Hug for You"... I just started thinking how the helium will all be gone one day. Just gone... we won't get it back, and it took millions of years of radioactive decay to get the helium we have now... and... *sniff* we just don't have millions more years to wait for more. They're wasting helium in balloons... how can I possibly "Feel Better"!?
