The Sami, also known as Lapps, are the indegenous people of Northern Scandinavia. Hailing from northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia (the Kola Peninsula), their lives and appearance have a lot in common with Native Americans. Their music is dominated by the unique and easily recognizable Joik (or Yoik) which again lends similarities to the chanting vocal styles of Native American music. It is often accompanied by a simple hand drum beat.
An exotic and atmospheric Indian track featuring authentic Sarod (similar to Sitar) and Indian flute over the soft, floating chords. Dreamy and slowly swaying rhythms with table, acoustic bass. Indian wood flute joins in the later parts of the track.
Acoustic / Feel-Good. Acoustic guitar is the only instrument used in this little tune. However, the different ways in which it is used creates the happy, uplifting feeling. Folksy, homely and easy going.
The second movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a contrast to the first movement. This movement is positive, playful and joyful but yet subdued. Lovely light melodies allow the piece to flow along nicely. The Piano Sonata No. 14 op. 27 no. 2 in C sharp minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1801, is also known as the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven himself gave his work the nickname Sonata quasi una Fantasia ("... quasi a fantasy"). The term "Fantasia" refers to the unusual sequence of movements of the sonata. This explains the untypical tempos of the respective movements for the conventional sonata form. The work does not have a first (fast) movement in sonata form, which sonatas of this period usually contain. It begins with an Adagio, followed by a more lively Allegretto with Trio, followed by a fast, highly dramatic Finale, which has the structure of a sonata-form. What is striking here is that the tempo increases from movement to movement. Franz Liszt characterized the piece by describing the second movement as "a flower between two abysses".
A sad and poignant, ambient piano piece, highly suitable for use in film or other visual media. Regretful, sorrowful. Perhaps dealing with loss, melancholy or long lost love, memories.
This fast piano track creates a beautiful atmosphere and puts you in a good mood. Sounds playful, optimistic and floating.
A charming, fun and happy track based on acoustic guitar and whistling. Care free, relaxed, easy going and casual, like a pleasant stroll. Taking it easy, enjoying life's simple pleasures, feeling supremely relaxed and at ease. Excellent track for hiking, strolling, gardening, or any off-beat, relaxed film, commercial, advertising, and much more. There is also an alternative recording where another acoustic guitar melody replaces the whistling.
classical piano - formal, slow and delicate - extended version
A very Sad tender piece featuring the Armenian Duduk and ambient low drone, would fit perfectly in to a tender sad and sentimental scene.
A beautiful and gentle Americana, folk track played on acoustic slide guitar over subtle steel guitar and acoustic guitars. Romantic, nostalgic and reflective. Beauty and amazement.
A simple, heartening solo piano melody. Reflective, mellow, sparse and impressionistic. Sweet and romantic, yet also wistful and thoughtful. Perhaps a little clarity 'Through the Forest' of our busy, hustle-bustle lives? Or a child in need of help - this track has many potential media uses.
A sweet and tender solo piano track. Few heartfelt notes, like raindrops on the water. Gentle and light, with a naïve and innocent undertone as well as a melancholic and reflective side. Romantic, loving, peaceful and beautiful piano music.
