A location recorded chamber ballad in A flat major, felt around 92 BPM despite a 183 BPM grid, Soft Unusual Irregular and erratic syncopated anti folk male 1960's vocals and acoustic guitar, sets a gentle ostinato, close vocal enters with breath detail, and a small string section adds warm pads and sighing lines, Captured inside a lighthouse, the short natural reverb shapes the sound, The mix keeps vocal and guitar central with strings counter placed for a mild stereo bloom, Dynamics rise by layering rather than loudness, peaking in a tender swell before easing back to hush
5:17

Sparkling late 80s guitar-pop that still carries post-punk bite, It is bright, romantic and kinetic, built around a chiming descending guitar hook and a propulsive rhythm section that keeps everything buoyant rather than heavy
5:48

Treason
v5
Dark cinematic alt-pop / trip-hop at 72 BPM in F# minor, Close-mic confessional vocal, mostly spoken-sung, with a faint detuned shadow double on key lines, Bed of sub-bass drone and bowed cello like a ribcage, breathing via slow sidechain swells, Dry felt-piano motifs click like locks and hinges, with subtle foley taps and metallic ticks, Verses use heartbeat kick and rim hits; tension builds with scraped strings and granular reverb that fractures at the edges, Choruses widen into heavy toms, roomy snare and a thin high synth ‘wire’ under strain, Bridge drops to breath, reverse swells and noise rise that cuts off, End on an unresolved chord and fading heartbeat
6:24

Dark intimate alt-pop / trip-hop at 84 BPM in A minor, Close-mic vocal, spoken-sung with smoky restraint, like a late-night confession about desire and regret, Verses sit on a sub-bass pulse, muted kick, rim clicks, and tremolo guitar or Rhodes chords in tight small-room reverb, Add tape hiss, soft vinyl crackle and subtle door-latch foley to evoke secrecy and escapism, Pre-chorus tightens with rising pads and a held synth 'blade' tone, Chorus widens without a big drop, warm stacked harmonies over half-time drums, Bridge strips to voice and bass, then ends on an unresolved minor add9 fading to silence
4:43

Begin with felted piano chords, slow and deliberate, each note letting the room breathe, A low drone rises like heating pipes in stone, soft enough to feel rather than hear, High strings enter as shadow lines, long bows that never fully resolve, while e-bow guitar adds a pale halo of wash, A tiny AM radio signal flickers at the edges, hymn fragments and static, drifting in and out like memory, The swell comes from density, not volume, ending on one suspended chord, reverb blooming until it becomes silence
4:50

72 BPM in A flat major, museum of stamps and living rooms, A soft piano plays slow chords with lots of air, while a low hum holds the floor, The stamp is intimate here, close mic thumps, ink smears, paper fibres, turned into a gentle rhythm like a heartbeat of administration, Looting arrives as distant echoes, footsteps in stairwells, soft alarms, glass rolled under felt, more memory than action, a collage of home sounds, kettle hiss, fridge buzz, curtains moving, blended into a warm drone, a recurring chime that signals another version of the same scene, a string swell that never quite resolves, a whispered chorus, many voices, saying different things in the same cadence
6:10

A sparse, acoustic arrangement highlights fragile male vocals atop gentle guitar and resonant, mournful cello lines, The soundscape is minimal—occasional piano notes and soft ambient textures add depth, maintaining a deeply intimate, emotionally raw, and exposed melancholic atmosphere
5:46

The clink of ceramic, reversed piano harmonics, field recording of birds and rain through gauze, one string plucked like a heartbeat in another room
5:13

74 BPM in E minor, art-pop confession with a clinical pulse, Begin with fingertip foley, cloth rustle, a muted heartbeat kick and a low sub that breathes in slow swells, Glassy synth shards flicker like fluorescent light on wet metal, with tiny crackles printed close, The vocal is intimate and spoken-sung, doubled an octave up like a thin ghost, lightly saturated, Verses stay sparse on felt piano and wide pads, then reversed swells and bowed harmonics tighten the air, Chorus lifts briefly into G major warmth, widening with soft choral haze, then returns to an unresolved minor add9 that fades into hush
6:46

Raw, vulnerable, and melancholic, Sparse acoustic guitar and cello create an intimate, haunting atmosphere, Dynamic contrasts and emotional vocals enhance the sense of longing, male Vocals
7:20

Sparse acoustic guitar opens with spacious fingerpicking, joined by a lyrical, mournful cello weaving countermelodies, Dynamics rise in the chorus, the cello swelling beneath raw, impassioned vocals that fluctuate between restraint and outburst, Occasional piano notes punctuate the mood, [Is_Max_Mode: Max] (Max)
