* DarkReprise: "Waltz of Treachery" is almost an exact minor key cover of "Circus Waltz." Both are piano waltz tunes intended as silent film scores, but the former sounds much more sinister than the latter.

** "[[https://youtu.be/JMy_ldVJddM Circus Tent]]" is an energetic, bouncy circus theme on brass.
** "[[https://youtu.be/Xq6HOoXDkvQ Super Circus]]" is a lighthearted circus march.
** Downplayed with "[[https://youtu.be/X2DbinjpaYM Circus Waltz]]". While the tune is quite circus-like, it's simply played on piano, and [=MacLeod=] describes it as a "general-purpose upbeat piece."

* GenreRoulette: He's known for being able to take on pretty much any genre/feeling of music. Upbeat, happy, weird, spastic, fearful, or whatever.

Not to be confused with Creator/KenMacLeod

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: It's what he's known for.
