Making The Mood Magic

Capturing the Perfect Emotion With Music

When you have scenes that demand something more than non-intrusive underscore music, CSS Music has you covered. From joyful discovery to the darkest moments to a whimsical reflection, we’ve labeled our tracks with more information than just music style and orchestration.

For example, if you first use our Multiple Keyword Search found at the bottom of our Search page and (for example) enter “Ethereal” and “Wistful” you’ll find a perfect track from our MaxTrax library entitled “Ocean of the Mind” on our Redi-Trax search page.

But you can even delve deeper into your search.  Entering “Sad, Emotional, Film” will immediately produce “Listen to My Story” from Target Trax and “English Patients” from Repro-file® plus.

You can build a bigger playlist by simplifying your search using something like “film, dramatic.”  Not only will you be rewarded with many pages that include film composer David Wurst’s cinematic music, but a wide selection from other CSS Music tracks.

Using our current keywords will give you best results. By using (again, for example) “dramatic, heartfelt” your search will yield our cream of the crop tracks. Another search with “heartfelt, acoustic” will give the softer side of heartfelt.

If you’re searching for something more contemporary, combining “contemporary” with keywords like “powerful” or “warm” or “emotional” will get you that much closer to finding the perfect CSS Music track to capture the emotion your show demands.
