About this album
PHASE 37: Ticks and Tocks - Light is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2020. It's orchestral and atmospheres, mysterious, dark and dramatic, built on percussion, synth and clocks. The songs run 88 to 170 BPM, in keys like A minor, F minor and F# minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for film and documentary work, TV and news promos, trailers and sports. Every song comes with stems (keys, percussion and synths) 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.
