Drakenscroll

Because when you see that dragon, you know it's strong and solid.

The hearth is cold. Choose how you would like to be received — and the fire, the sound, and the story will rise to meet you.

Either door turns the sound on. Change it whenever you like.

The Living Sigil

The Long Memory

The house keeps a long memory. Leave an address and you hear of new voices, new instruments and new work before the world does. No course, no call, no salesman.

Before the Charter is sealed

The Score Hall

Six territories. Each one a country the music lives in — its moods, its instruments, the tempo band its cues are chosen inside. Walk them, hear them, and lock the direction your edition will be scored in.

The house licenses music; it does not claim composition. The $1,500 fee is selection, cutting and mixing.

The Long March

Drums that do not stop, and a horn that answers them.

Broad, ceremonial, forward-leaning. Built for sieges, oaths, arrivals and the last chapter of an epic.

Moods
epic · heroic · determined
Instruments
war drums · brass · low strings · male choir
Tempo
84–104 BPM
Suits
epic fantasy · military · historical

Candlelight

One instrument in a quiet room, close enough to hear the breath.

Hushed and intimate. Piano, cello, held space. For confession scenes, letters, grief and the pages a reader slows down for.

Moods
tender · melancholic · intimate
Instruments
solo piano · cello · felt keys · room air
Tempo
56–72 BPM
Suits
literary · romance · memoir

The Cold Tide

Something is coming, and the music refuses to say what.

Tension held rather than released: bowed metal, pulses under the floor, air that will not settle. For thrillers, hauntings and the chapter before the turn.

Moods
tense · eerie · ominous
Instruments
bowed metal · sub pulse · prepared piano · breath textures
Tempo
64–88 BPM
Suits
thriller · horror · mystery

Gaslight and Brass

A city with money, manners and something to hide.

Period colour with a modern edge — strings with wire in them, muted brass, clockwork percussion. For drawing rooms, courts and clever crimes.

Moods
elegant · intriguing · period
Instruments
muted brass · pizzicato strings · harpsichord · clock percussion
Tempo
92–116 BPM
Suits
historical mystery · regency · steampunk

The Far Signal

Vast, cold, patient — the sound of distance itself.

Synthetic and wide: drifting pads, tuned noise, a slow arpeggio like a beacon. For space, artificial minds, and futures that do not care about us.

Moods
cinematic · futuristic · vast
Instruments
analogue pads · tuned noise · arpeggio synth · sub bass
Tempo
72–96 BPM
Suits
science fiction · speculative · techno-thriller

Hearthside

Warm strings, a plucked line, and no threat anywhere in it.

Bright and kind without going saccharine. Fiddle, acoustic guitar, small percussion. For village chapters, children's work, comedy and rest between storms.

Moods
warm · playful · pastoral
Instruments
acoustic guitar · fiddle · hand percussion · flute
Tempo
96–120 BPM
Suits
cosy fantasy · middle grade · comedy
