Uncertainty
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:30·75 bpm·Em·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

The slowest and saddest cue here: 75bpm in E minor, built on a low drone, detuned piano figures and wordless vocal texture over sparse trailer-drum hits. It leans mournful rather than threatening, suiting the aftermath of a crime rather than the chase.

Fear
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:24·90 bpm·Am·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

A 90bpm A minor tension bed pairing sustained drone and pad with plain piano notes and restrained percussion, foreboding and unresolved throughout its short run. Short enough to sit under a single interview answer or a fast reveal.

Investigative Intuition
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:26·108 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

The most active-sounding cue on the set: 108bpm in C minor with mallets and strings added to the drone, piano and trailer-drum core, giving the impression of clues being pieced together. Its ticking mid-tempo pulse works for evidence boards, data searches and forensic detail.

Mysteries At Midnight
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:39·100 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

Piano-free and purely synthetic — drone, pad and percussion at 100bpm in D minor — which keeps it darker and more abstract than its neighbours. At 1:38 it has room to thicken, suiting night surveillance and after-hours footage.

Special Secret
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:34·90 bpm·Em·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

A 90bpm E minor synth-and-drone underscore with sparse percussive punctuation and no melodic lead, holding a secretive, withheld quality. Good for whistleblower material, hidden files and quiet betrayal.

Alluring Unknown
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:56·108 bpm·Am·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

At 1:55 and 108bpm in A minor, this is one of the longer builds, with piano touches over drone, pad and trailer drums lending a curious, drawn-in feel rather than outright dread. Suits sequences where a character is pulled toward something dangerous.

Danger Disillusion
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:57·110 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

The fastest and most aggressive posture on the album alongside its 110bpm sibling, in D minor with drone, pad and trailer-drum percussion driving a sense of imminent threat. Nearly two minutes of unresolved pressure for pursuit and escalation.

I Am The Dark
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:24·108 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

A compact 1:24 statement at 108bpm in C minor, with piano set against drone, pad and percussion; the title points to a perpetrator's-eye-view menace. Short, dark and loopable for a hard cut or a title reveal.

Apprehensive Thought
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
1:38·90 bpm·Am·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

A 90bpm A minor bed of drone, pad and sparse percussion with no melodic focus, holding a hesitant, second-thoughts mood across 1:38. Sits neatly under narration where the picture needs unease but not drama.

Good Mourning
STYE1132 · Dark Web · David Andrew Van Etten
2:05·110 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxios, Atmosphere, Conflict

The longest cue at 2:05, 110bpm in C minor, with drone, pad and trailer drums; the wordplay title signals grief sitting inside the tension. Its length gives a documentary editor a full scene of sustained dread without a cut.
