Nice feel from the outset: understated, laid-back with elements of street. Good to hear live and electronic elements working together in this way and the video shows resourceful use of sound design elements to picture. The mix is quite successful although the bass feels a little bumpy at times and the string pads wiry and thin (intentionally?). AABA structure gives strength to the theme whilst allowing for some variation and contrast. A catchy tune which responds well to picture.

I like this - it retains the interest with plenty of variety in the scoring - the minor key makes it soumd intriguing.

Great laid back style and the sound elements blend in nicely. Really nice bass. As a theme for The Wire I think it would work well - catchy, cool and classy. I like the subtle string interjections - not too overstated. Very enjoyable.
