One is a mid-tempo track that’s perfect for low-key commercial ambience and film/video background music. The downbeat alternate version provides a sense of mystery and tension. Short broadcast edits are also included.
MELODIC: Tongued drums, marimbas, and insect-like background effects evoke a lush environment of beaches and jungles. An alternate version eschews the background ambience and pulls the drums to the forefront. Both of these atmospheric percussion beds are superb for a wide variety of multimedia applications. Utility includes TV wildlife programs, National Geographic-style themes, travel promotion, educational presentations, and more.

Used for centuries by cultures across the earth, the ocarina presents numerous production possibilities: Native American documentaries, Asian restaurant ambience, TV wildlife programs, and multimedia environmental campaigns are just a few of the potential applications. The alternate cue isolates the drum track for even more utility.
KALIMBA: The African kalimba is a hand-held “thumb piano” that sounds a lot like orchestrated wind chimes.

The drums-only alternate version conjures an edgier tone.
