About this album
PHASE 57 : Ticks and Tocks - Tension Urgency is a 7-song album from NEXT, released in 2022. It's electronic and film score, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, pulse and drums. The songs run 92 to 128 BPM, in keys like B minor, D minor and C 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 (pulses, drones and pads) 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.
