Short Time Lapse Clip From Dakotalapse Featuring My Ambient Music

Sprites, Gravity Waves and Airglow

Here’s a new short but hypnotic time lapse video clip from photographer Randy Halverson at Dakotalapse featuring a brief extract from my atmospheric royalty free ambient space music collection. Hear more of my work in Randy’s previous videos here.

“On August 20th, 2014 I timelapsed a storm over central South Dakota with multiple cameras. I left for Wyoming without looking at most of the frames. I saw a post by Tom Warner about Sprites he caught on the same storm. Sprites are large scale electrical discharges that occur high above clouds.When I got back I went through the frames and found 7 with Sprites in them. The Sprites are only 1 frame each, so they will be a quick flash of red near the right side above the storm. The green Airglow is rippled by Gravity Waves, some faint Aurora moves in towards the end of the sequences, on the right side before the clouds cover it up.”

New Ambient Space Music Track: Birth Of A Distant Star

Ambient Space Music: Birth Of A Distant Star by Simon Wilkinson

Today I’ve released a new ambient space music track called Birth Of A Distant Star. The track is a 10 minute atmospheric instrumental ambient piece based around themes of star births, origins of the galaxy, space travel and epic interstellar imagery.

Full of atmospheric ambient textures and harmonically rich floating synth layers, the instrumental track would make ideal background music for space documentaries and feature films, astronomy time lapse films, art films, photo galleries or any video that calls for ethereal and highly textural audio, music and sound design.

The track is available to download and license here for use in your own films and videos and also on all popular music download sites like iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc.

Teaser Video For New Royalty Free Ambient Space Music Collection

Here’s a short preview video teaser for my upcoming Royalty Free Music Collection Volume 8 which focuses on atmospheric ambient space music. Like the previous collections, the music is aimed at film and documentary makers looking for atmospheric background music to use in their films, trailers, documentaries and YouTube videos without having to worry about repeat licensing fees.

For a one time payment of £39.99 the music can be used in as many of your films and videos without needing to pay each time the music is used in a new project. Coming soon, Volume 8 will feature atmospheric and evolving organic soundscapes, ethereal background musical textures, drones and a deep collection of intricate sound worlds and engaging aural space landscapes and journeys to add depth and focus to your projects.

The general theme of the music is obviously based around space travel, astronomy and other worldly audio textures and landscapes, but the music will also be suitable for a wide range of subjects for your films & documentaries including science, nature, time lapse, photography, wildlife, landscapes, art installations, human interest stories and much more. Fans of films such as 2001, Blade Runner and Gravity should hopefully find something of interest here!
