About this album
PHASE 61 : Tension Global is a 13-song album from NEXT, released in 2022. It's electronic and film score, mysterious, dark and moody, built on synth, piano and drums. The songs run 86 to 164 BPM, in keys like A minor, E minor and F# 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, piano and strings) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Drew J Lerdal, Gavin Franzen Linnihan, Bryan Shackle, Ryan William Michael Leach, Johannes Paul Hammers, Emily Kristine Bjorke, Darren Mark Drew, Brian Burke Reidinger
