STYE745 · Experimental Synth Score · Joel Negus
Cleveland based multi instrumentalist and synth guru Joel Negus releases his debut album with Songs To Your Eyes. An experimental collection of ambient soundscapes, combining analogue synthesizers, live upright bass, electric guitars and his many effect pedals. A great soundtrack to any project looking for that special sauce that's not ordinary or obvious yet full of emotion and vibe.

3:41·64 bpm·Em
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Emotional

Slow 64bpm E minor bed built from analogue synth drones, pads and a patient arpeggio, with cello adding a human, aching line over the electronics. It stays intimate and unresolved across nearly four minutes, more atmosphere than statement.

Underscore, AmbientAtmospheric, Documentary, Dreamy

Fast 156bpm arpeggio in A minor over a simple synth bass pulse, dreamy rather than aggressive — motion without threat. Suits science, medical and technology footage where something is being formed or discovered.

Soundtrack, UnderscoreDark, Documentary, Emotional

A darker 114bpm A minor cue where a synth arpeggio and drone sit on top of a light programmed beat, adding tension and forward drive to the album's ambient palette. Good for investigative sequences that need to feel like they are closing in.

3:03·120 bpm·G flatm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Emotional

Beatless but pulsing at 120bpm, with an arpeggio running steadily under G-flat minor pads and drones. The unusual key gives it a cold, off-centre colour that works for procedural or surveillance footage.

3:13·73 bpm·Cm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Emotional

The slowest-feeling beat cue here at 73bpm in C minor, pairing sparse percussion with wide synth pads for a moody, half-lit drift. Emotional and reflective rather than mysterious, it suits a quiet turning point.

2:56·90 bpm·Cm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Emotional

A 90bpm C minor piece where an arpeggio glints over drone and pad layers, sitting midway between the album's ambient and rhythmic halves. Clean and unhurried, easy to sit under speech.

2:58·87 bpm·Cm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Emotional

Pure texture: synth drones and pads at 87bpm in C minor with no arpeggio or beat, leaving a slow-moving, submerged wash. One of the most open cues on the album for dialogue and voiceover.

3:14·79 bpm·Cm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Experimental

Drone and pad only, 79bpm in C minor, three and a quarter minutes of sombre, noir-tinted stillness with no melodic lead to fight narration. Slightly less overtly emotional than its neighbours — more watchful and unresolved.

2:46·112 bpm·Gm
Soundtrack, UnderscoreAtmospheric, Documentary, Experimental

The one cue where electric guitar joins the synth drones and pads, giving a 112bpm G minor bed a warmer, pedal-treated edge. Intimate and a touch wistful, suited to two-hander scenes and human-interest stories.

2:18·191 bpm·Dm·1 versions
ElectronicCrime Drama, Documentary, Experimental

The album's most aggressive track: a 191bpm D minor electronic cue driven by a fast synth arpeggio and beat, built for tension rather than melody. At 2:18 it is the shortest and most editable, aimed squarely at investigative and crime drama sequences.
