This document describes several potential music tracks for use in films and productions. It summarizes each track's instruments, feel, and provides commentary on whether it could work for the writer's purposes. Tracks described include "Enter the Maze" with percussion and synth for tension, "Mistake the Getaway" with horns, strings and drums for an action chase scene, and "The Escalation" a steadily building percussion and string track like "Bolero" for suspense. The writer expresses preference for "The Escalation" and "Ready Aim Fire" to fit their film's heartbeat theme and secret agent tone.

1. “Enter the Maze"
Instruments: Percussion, Horn, Misc.
Feel: Intense, Mysterious, Suspenseful
A thumping bass note intermingles with metallic noises to create a feeling of tension
and terror. Screeching synth noises enter occasionally, and after a shrill screaming
lead, the percussion is sparse but nerve-racking. I also like that the basic rhythm is
repeated however this more for a high tension scene in a hard-core action film.
"Mistake the Getaway"
Instruments: Brass, Strings, Kit, Percussion
Feel: Action, Driving, Epic, Intense, Suspenseful
The chase begins with horn blasts, and the kit plays a solid beat while the bass
strings are a pulsing drone below the horn melody. The piece grows more tense and
emotional, the strings taking the lead and rise into a flowing intensity. Danger
returns in full force as the music crescendos and return for one final push. This is
more for a spy film and would make our film a comedy.
"Western Streets"
Instruments: Snare, Tenor drum, Tympani, Chimes, Gong
Feel: Dark, Suspenseful, Unnerving
An all percussion tension-sustaining piece... More chaotic than symmetric, but
enough repeated themes to keep it cohesive. I like the steady two steps that sound
like footsteps however this piece also feels old fashioned because of the chimes and
gongs.

2. "Crowd Hammer"
Instruments: Guitar, Percussion, Diddley Bow, Flute, Oboe
Feel: Dark, Eerie, Relaxed
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... uhh... Slightly creepy movie score? Yet oddly comforting. This is
another steady build-up of music however this sounds more medival and does not fit
in with our 21st
century opening.
"The Escalation"
Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Strings
Feel: Dark, Driving, Action, Intense
One really long build. Generally, gets faster, fuller and more exciting. Like "Bolero"
but for suspense. I love this it fits in with the theme of our film because it is steady
like a heartbeat and increases pace which could suggest that their heartbeats are
beating frantically and slowly the titles can appear in time with the music.
My personal favourite is “Ready Aim Fire “which is an amped up secret agent or pro
wrestler theme with a thick wall of sound and a crazy drummer. This fits in with the
theme of our production and the video is down below.
