This is a pretty far reaching concept, because documentaries, culture and art can be of pretty much anything at all, but we've tried to put music in this area that you would expect to hear in documentaries about real world issues, as well as art and culture. The music in this area will be -background- music; music that is meant to just stay in the background, almost unnoticed, to provide a subtle atmosphere while the viewer concentrates on the matter discussed. Often used behind voiceover / narration and interviews, this music will not have any outstanding, loud, or attention grabbing melodies or effects. The music you find here should also go well with historical and cultural subjects.

A Neo-classical, semi-orchestral piece for film, television and more. Rhythmic, methodical, almost slightly hypnotizing, this track keeps developing, growing and building throughout, but maintains a steadily ticking rhythmic feel, as if it's all connected, all intervowen, systematic and methodical. Good for presentations and commercials, or as an underscore for a developing story. A bit quirky. The tempo of this track matches exactly to seconds ticking. [Tempo: Medium / 120 BPM]
