Fires On The Moon is a dynamic mid-tempo electronic music track with a slightly dark and dramatic yet defiant feel. Pulsating synth lines mix with thick warm Fender Rhodes keyboards, acoustic piano, strident drums, deep bass notes, French horn lines and atmospheric synth pad washes.
An instrumental electronic track that would work well for dramatic documentary endings and climaxes, themes of resistance, revolution, protest and upheaval as well as financial and political documentaries, trailers and commercials, industrial videos and corporate presentations. License this track for your video by selecting from the options above.
My dark ambient space music track Through The Ergosphere is now also available to buy on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify if you prefer to buy your music through one of these providers.
You can also buy the track directly from me here on this website and this is also where you will need to go if you want to license the track for use in your own videos.
