I'm looking for a track featured in this video:




It's an electronic piece with electric chords, you can hear it at these timestamps: 2:14, 3:33, 7:12
(It is not the track "Reflections" by Eric Siday, nor "Suspended Martenot" which I know.)

I'm almost certain I’ve heard it in some old TV series or documentary, but I can't remember which one. The music has a vintage, experimental sci-fi or mystery vibe typical of programs from the '70s. Also, I'm looking for the track at 6:43.

I tried with Shazam and other apps but it didn't work. If anyone knows these tracks, I’d really appreciate it!

That middle section definitely sounds very Eric Siday but I don't recognise it. It's not from his Conroy or Impress 78s, have you checked the Sound of Now LPs?

The final sound at the very end I think is one of Eric Peters' Electronic Links:

Yes, definitely the last track is "Electronic Links" by Eric Peters. But I also listened to "Weird Suspense" by Roger Roger, and it seems very similar to what I'm looking for.

I found the original release of this track on this album: https://productionmusic.fandom.com/wiki/CHAP_213_-Archive-_Science_Fiction.

I'm pretty sure the track I'm looking for is called "Weird Tension," but I can't confirm it since I haven't been able to find it. Do you happen to know where I can listen to it?
