About this album
Crime and Investigation is a 25-song album from ITG Studios, released in 2022. It's electronic and film score, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, piano and bass. The songs run 86 to 164 BPM, in keys like Eb minor, D minor and Bb minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (drones, piano and pulses) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Every track is cleared and licensed through ITGM, with the rights handled for you. See how it works on our music licensing page, or search the full catalog by mood, reference track or video at /music.
