Nature Documentary Music

Organic strings, felt piano and subtle percussion that breathe with landscapes — from macro wildlife to sweeping aerials.

How to score nature documentaries

Let the landscape breathe

Prioritise air and decay tails. Felt piano, soft strings and light percussion keep VO intelligible and preserve a sense of scale.

Motifs, not melodies

Short, flexible cells (4–6 notes) that can move between piano, strings and pads. Repetition builds memory without distraction.

Tempo follows motion

60–80 BPM for contemplation and VO; lift to mid-tempo for time-lapse or migrations; avoid relentless drive during close-ups.

Natural colour

Warm tape, light saturation, wood and string overtones. Sub-bass only for scale shots; keep midrange clear for narration.

Edit-smart structure

Intro / A / B / Breakdown / Outro; clean button endings; loopable A for montage; request 15/30/60s cutdowns.
