Almost Silent

STYE583 · Emotional Score · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
A beautifully emotional, haunting, uplifting & inspiring album reminiscent of works by the late Johan Johansson. Evocative, minimal score featuring piano, strings, electronica elements. Music that finds it's way into deep places within you and touches the heart in a quite yet powerful way.

2:34·100 bpm·Gm·5 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

Piano with violin and cello in G minor at a walking 100bpm, minimal and reflective rather than dramatic. The mood is tender and heartbroken but with a hopeful lift, and at 2:33 it works as a short emotional beat rather than a full arc.

Lenticular
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:44·117 bpm·Cm·9 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartfelt

The most produced cue here: piano and strings sit over a pad, a light beat and treated vocal textures at 117bpm in C minor. Nordic-minimal but forward-moving and inspiring, suited to footage that needs quiet momentum rather than stillness.

This Is A Calling
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
4:18·68 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

At 68bpm in D minor this is the album's slowest and longest statement, stripped to piano and violin alone. Sombre and openly grieving with a thread of hope, and the 4:17 length gives room for a long scene or a full narrated passage.

Grace Vs Empty Space
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:26·125 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreCrime Drama, Dark, Drama

The dark outlier: violin over drone with vocal samples, 125bpm in C minor, tense and investigative rather than romantic. It stays uneasy and unresolved, built for footage where something is being uncovered.

Aperture
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:32·125 bpm·Gm·3 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDark, Drama, Emotional

Synth, drone and piano in G minor at 125bpm, warmer and more intimate than the crime-leaning cues on the album — moody but with a playful, sensual edge. Good for close, unhurried footage where the tone is private rather than sad.

Everybody Was There
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:26·110 bpm·Cm·5 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartfelt

Piano, violin and cello over pad and a soft beat at 110bpm in C minor, sitting between the album's ambient pieces and its rhythmic ones. Warm, communal and quietly inspiring, matching the title's sense of gathered people.

A Cold Place
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:33·129 bpm·Cm·4 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartfelt

Synth arpeggio and piano at 129bpm in C minor, the fastest and most electronic-leaning cue on the record. Cool and Nordic in colour but consistently hopeful and inspiring, driven by pattern rather than melody.

Confidant
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:29·100 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

Guitar and piano with light effects at 100bpm in C minor, the only cue here led by guitar rather than strings. Confiding and bruised, with a hopeful undertow, suited to a two-person scene or a first-person narration.

Final Freeze
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:05·113 bpm·Am·6 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartfelt

Short at 2:05, with synth, drone, piano and viola-led strings at 113bpm in A minor. Cool-toned but tender and lightly playful, an efficient cue for a closing image or a brief transition.

The Crow
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:46·68 bpm·Gm·4 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

Piano and violin only, 68bpm in G minor — a companion to the album's other slow duet piece but darker in key and half the length. Bleak, meditative and mournful with a faint upward turn.

Waking Up
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
3:38·66 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

At 66bpm in D minor this is the gentlest opening gesture on the album, piano and violin joined by a quiet arpeggio figure. It moves from somber stillness toward something inspiring across 3:37, giving a long scene time to turn.

Almost Silence
STYE583 · Almost Silent · Mary Beth Ancheta, Daniel Kearley
2:20·125 bpm·Cm·6 versions
Soundtrack, ScoreDrama, Emotional, Heartbroken

The title cue: violin and piano over a pulsing bass at 125bpm in C minor, marrying the album's grief-tinged melodic writing to a steady electronic heartbeat. Compact at 2:20 and consistently forward-leaning, sad and hopeful at once.
