Begins with a forlorn violin melody followed by a tense repeating cycle stimulating a sense of movement and rising action. {cinematic, excitement, intrigue, neoclassical}
Fast-paced and gritty 1970s style funky crime movie background music: jazz-organ, conga drums and synthesizer wailing to add a postmodern edge. {aggression, tension, funky, cinematic}
A new companion piece for the F.S.M track: Epic Quest For Pleasantness. Similarly grandiose and epic, but the theme melody is slowed down with a lot of new instrumentation and remixing in the ambient dub style. {cinematic, fascination, neoclassical, sentimental}
Flute and string section conspire to provide a somewhat over-the-top pull on the emotional heartstrings. {neoclassical, sentimental, cinematic, ambient}

The Free Soundtrack Music archive is intended as a stock music library where video producers can locate pre-recorded musical compositions or sound clips to fit the mood and atmosphere of a given film scene, advertisement, computer game, promotional video, business presentation, instructional video, or home movie. In addition, F.S.M. tracks can be used as background music for websites, live presentations, live theatre or in any place of business or live event without having to obtain legal clearance or pay royalties. The F.S.M. web site is the perfect film student resource or production music source for any independent media producer with limited financial resources.
The F.S.M. stock music library is organized into four soundtrack categories:
Suspense:
Mystery and intrigue. Sci-Fi, horror and the supernatural. The "Suspense" soundtrack category is intended as the repository for background music which can help nudge viewers to the edge of their seat. Often grating and unsettling, the sound clips and compositions featured here would tend to blend well with dark and edgy dramatic productions.
Themes:
The "Themes" category contains music recordings with strong melodic and compositional attributes. More dramatic than textural, theme music is strongly suggestive and tells a story all on it's own. To be used effectively, theme music should be matched closely to the dramatic intent of a given scene or production.
Action:
Mood music to stimulate and inspire feelings of movement, urgency and excitement. Music accompaniment for quick moving scenery, chases, or any kind of physical or visual activity. Primarily upbeat and uplifting, a song from the action soundtrack category would make good background music for business presentations, advertisements or instructional videos.
Atmospheres:
The "Atmospheres" category contains audio recordings which tend to be more subtle and textural than the music found in other soundtrack categories. While some of the compositions are melodic, others are intended as ambient tones: audio wallpaper to add minimal sonic coloration to specific scenes.
Keyword Descriptions:
The F.S.M. stock music library also provides a list of keywords organized into 3 categories: Emotions, Music Genres and Usage. New for November 2008, the Usage category provides a "business" keyword to find background music suitable for product promotion advertisements, corporate training videos or business presentations. "Business" production music is intended to be upbeat, inspirational and generally more light-hearted than music for film scores or other more dramatic productions.
