I was casually watching this documentary last night about one of my favourite musicians and producers
Daniel Lanois when I heard some of my music crop up in places in the background. I had no idea it had been used in it but I love it when that happens (I think it’s only happened once or twice before!)
My dramatic orchestral trailer music track Excelsior is featured in the new Marvel trailer for Realm Of Champions.
Excelsior is also available to license for your own films, trailers and videos from the following link or contact me for more info:

My new ambient album Hegira is now available to download from this website. Following on from 2018’s Stateless it’s my fifth album of longform ambient space music, full of atmospheric soundscapes and textures. It’s also available on Bandcamp and should be on all other streaming services within a few days.
Some of my music was used recently at the Singapore Night Festival as part of a dome projection mapping installation. It looks amazing and would have been amazing to see in person – maybe next time!
Track: The Divine Realm from Cryosleep Dreams

Very nice to read some positive words about my music from Darrell Burgan over on the Blue Water Drift Dive website:
“This is gorgeous ambient space music, perfectly produced, and simply exquisite. Words often used but, in this case, wholly justified.”
Thank you Darrell!
