An experimental post rock cinematic underscore cue, with a somewhat "Nordic" feel. Melancholic and mysterious, this track is based around a delayed guitar arpeggio, with big crunchy live drums, synth bass and pads, generated with iPhone “Choas” Pad synths. The vibe is a bit dark and mysterious, tension is definitely building, but big stacked ambient “ahh” vocal pads give it a relaxing human feel. Reminescent of Sigur Ros and Nordic / Scandinavian crime / drama series. [Tempo: Slow / 64 BPM]

A dark, weird, ambient underscore that provides light background tension for a sad story. The vibe and feel are disturbing, depressing, and sad.
