A sultry world-fusion groove built on programmed beat and dumbek with slap bass, acoustic guitar and piano over sustained strings and synth textures. Sits in a smoky, dramatic register rather than a celebratory one, with FX washes giving it a modern production sheen. Suits fashion editorial, a late-night city sequence or travel footage with an air of intrigue.
Five minutes of Middle Eastern-leaning groove with violin and flute leads carried over bass, acoustic guitar and beat, plus wordless vocal colour. Emotional and devotional in tone, with enough rhythmic momentum to drive a montage rather than sit static. Good for humanitarian films, cross-cultural documentary or a reflective character journey.
The most ambient cue on the set: synth pads, Rhodes, sub bass, flute and sampled vocal fragments drifting in a slow, mysterious haze. Dreamy and unhurried, more atmosphere than melody, which leaves plenty of room underneath narration. Works for meditation content, desert or underwater imagery, and reflective documentary interviews.
A twelve-and-a-half-minute sitar excursion with Rhodes, bass and drums holding a patient, suspenseful groove. The extreme length makes it a bed to cut freely from rather than a structured cue, with a dark, watchful quality throughout. Suits long-form documentary, crime investigation sequences set abroad, or extended installation and radio use.
A short, bright Middle Eastern piece pairing oud with dumbek and layered percussion over a simple beat. At just over a minute it functions as a stinger, bumper or market-scene insert rather than a full cue, and its cheerful lift sets it apart from the darker material around it.
Percussion, dumbek and sitar underpin male chant vocals in a ritual, ceremonial arrangement across five and a half minutes. Dreamy and mysterious with a devotional pull, closer to score than to song. Suits historical or religious documentary, an ancient-world drama or a spiritual ritual scene.
A concise, seductive world ballad with Rhodes, electric guitar and flute over beat, bass and dumbek, with vocal colour on top. At just over three minutes it is the tightest of the melodic cues here, dreamy and romantic without being sentimental. Fits a romance scene, a slow-motion fashion cut or a tender documentary passage.
The most hopeful cue on the album: acoustic and electric guitars layered with sitar and tabla over a steady beat, bass and synth pads. It carries an uplifting, forward-leaning arc rather than the brooding tone of its neighbours. Works for inspirational brand films, an aid campaign or a coming-of-age travel montage.
A short North African-flavoured cue where clarinet and sitar trade over percussion, beat and sustained strings, tense and seductive at once. Its two-minute length and suspense edge make it a scene-setter for a souk, border crossing or covert approach. Effective as a trailer bed or promo insert.
A long, deep nine-minute groove with oud, zorna, sax and electric guitar over shaker, dumbek and beat, with piano and vocals adding weight. Haunting and hypnotic, it has room to develop and layer across its running time. Suits an extended documentary sequence, a nightclub or ritual scene, or dark crime drama set in the Levant.
Dub-leaning world ambience: sub bass and pads under oud, sax, Rhodes and frame drum, spacious and slow-moving. Emotional and mysterious, with the low end and reverb doing as much work as the melodic lines. Good for a night-time city bed, a mystical or spiritual passage, or a moody fashion and lifestyle edit.
