Music for Drama and Personal Stories is a wide ranging description, since you can arguably use anything from hard rock to solo piano or solo cello music to illustrate personal stories. But we've tried to represent tracks here that have a certain emotional, introspective, or thoughtful side to it. Be it independent rock or orchestral / classical based music, you should find music here with an introspective feel; something that you would want to use when you are telling stories about people and their lives. This music also tends to be background music / underscores, rather than up-front music, although there are exceptions as some pop/rock music go well with personal dramas (e.g. "Grey's Anatomy)"
A somewhat ethereal music track: Dreamy, longing, and featuring piano, acoustic guitar and warm pads. Introspective, thoughtful, reflective music. [Tempo: Slow / 70 BPM]
Floating atmosphere topped by an emotional piano theme, influenced by Thomas Newman. Beauty and drama, loneliness and thought. This track is made to fit together with 'Transformation', also by Felipe Adorno Vassao. The two tracks share the same motif; 'Transformation Prelude' is more quiet, awaiting, pensive; and 'Transformation' is more developed, rhythmic, highly suitable for the 'next stage' in development. [Tempo: Very slow, Slow / 0 BPM]

A slow, serious, pensive underscore for mystery drama, fiction, storytelling. Perhaps crime or criminal investigation, dark subjects. Cold. Various mixes are available.

[Tempo: Very slow, Slow / 57 BPM]
Melodic and minimalist synth theme, atmospheric and suggestive, great for fantasy, mystery, sci-fi , animation, videogames and multimedia. Jean-Michel Jarre influence. NOTE: A "lo-fi", grainy, synth sound has been used in this track, for a purposefully moody, lo-fi, 8-bit, type sound. This is not an error with the file -- it's made like that, and is supposed to be like that. [Tempo: Slow, Medium / 114 BPM]

A suspenseful and stirring chamber music track starting with piano, and evolving into very cinematic, trailer track without percussion and brasses, making it slightly softer and cleaner trailer type of music. A sense of movement, activity, something building up, nearing, increasing. [The 'Radio Edit' version has been edited to reduce the 'intensity' of the most dramatic/climax part of the track. This could make it less suitable for drama, advertising etc. where you need a build-up to a climax, but more even-going, more suitable for just listening.] [Tempo: Medium, Fast / 190 BPM]
