Middle Eastern Crisis
STYE1136 · Propaganda · Massimo Discepoli
2:10·68 bpm·C#m·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Arab, Arabic

The only cue on the set with a regional flavour: hand percussion (dumbek and darbuka) ticking under a sustained synth drone and pad at a slow 68bpm in C# minor. Sparse, arid and foreboding rather than dramatic, it holds one mood for just over two minutes without resolving.

Populism
STYE1136 · Propaganda · Massimo Discepoli
2:33·80 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Building

An 80bpm C minor tension bed that builds: drone and pad foundation, cold sustained strings and trailer drums entering to raise the stakes across two and a half minutes. Futuristic and political in tone, wide enough for narration but with enough forward pressure to carry a rising-threat sequence.

STYE1136 · Propaganda · Massimo Discepoli
1:57·106 bpm·Em·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

The title cue, faster at 106bpm in E minor, where marimba and piano figures pick out a repeating pattern over drone, pad and trailer drums. Short and driving with a mechanical, futuristic pulse, it suggests a machine of information turning rather than a single emotional beat.

Sovereignism
STYE1136 · Propaganda · Massimo Discepoli
1:43·140 bpm·Em·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Building

The fastest and shortest cue here — 140bpm in E minor, intense and investigative, with marimba and piano ostinati driving over strings, drone and trailer drums. Under two minutes it works as a tight chase or deadline sequence with no let-up.

1:59·86 bpm·Am·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAtmosphere, Conflict, Contemplative

An 86bpm A minor cue that trades foreboding for something more emotive: strings and pad over drone with restrained percussion and trailer drums, described as light tension rather than dark. Two minutes of dignified, sombre underscore for reflective or human-cost passages.

2:29·92 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAtmosphere, Conflict, Contemplative

Piano is the emotional lead here, set against strings, drone and trailer drums at 92bpm in D minor. Two and a half minutes of light-tension drama with a mournful, human quality — closer to grief and aftermath than to threat.

2:52·100 bpm·Fm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

The longest of the mid-tempo cues at 2:52, 100bpm in F minor, built from drone, pad, sparse percussion and trailer drums with piano as the only melodic voice. Moody and dark with no strings to soften it, giving a long, patient runway for narration.

2:06·84 bpm·A flatm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

Slow and heavy at 84bpm in A flat minor, the darkest key on the album, with piano over drone, pad and trailer drums. Two minutes of moody, shadowed underscore suited to money, power and quiet corruption.

2:05·100 bpm·C#m·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

The most rhythmic cue here: a programmed beat and drums join marimba, strings, drone and trailer drums at 100bpm in C# minor. Investigative and anxious, its steady groove propels an evidence-gathering or timeline sequence across two minutes.

Climate Emergency

3:07·100 bpm·Fm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

At 3:06 the longest cue on the album, 100bpm in F minor, with a beat and drums under marimba, drone and pad and no strings — tagged strange as well as dark, giving it an off-kilter edge. Its length suits extended narration or a full documentary chapter.

2:13·72 bpm·B flatm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Building

Slow, brooding and building: 72bpm in B flat minor, with marimba and piano set against strings, drone, pad and trailer drums. Two minutes that start almost still and gather weight, good for the moment a suspicion becomes a certainty.

1:46·126 bpm·Gm·3 versions
Underscore, SoundtrackAnxious, Atmosphere, Conflict

A quick 126bpm cue in G minor, under two minutes, with beat and drums alongside marimba and piano over drone and trailer drums. Anxious and slightly strange, it pushes hard and briefly — a natural fit for a fast-cut economic or political sequence.
