My Music Featured In H.P. Lovecraft App

Lovecraft Collection ® Volume 1: The beast in the cave

Some of my dark atmospheric horror music is featured in this beautiful app/ebook called Lovecraft Collection Vol.1: The Beast In The Cave from developers Designers Of Code.

The app is available on Android and iOS and is a beautifully designed interactive book featuring original artwork and stories from master cosmic horror author H.P. Lovecraft, readable in English, Spanish and French with original translations.

My music is used throughout to add an atmosphere of mystery and horror and I’m very pleased to have my work featured in such an attractively designed package!

“This was one of the best apps I have seen on the Kindle Fire thus far. I’m a huge Lovecraft fan and this definitely brings the story to life!! I highly recommend it! Looking forward for the newer stories. Illustrations are great, music and sound effects are great (highly recommend earphones), overall, a great app!!!!”

Here’s the trailer for photographer and filmmaker Colin Ruggiero‘s film Exuma which features some of my music and is now available to order on Blu Ray and DVD from the Exuma film website.

“Prepare to hold your breath and dive into a thousand shades of blue  on an exploration of the Exuma Cays – a tiny string of pearls tucked away in the middle of the 3,000 other islands that make up the Bahamas.  Shot entirely in HD, the film uses innovative underwater and time-lapse photography to capture the surreal beauty of the Exumas through the eyes of a young woman who lives there.  Through Susanna’s eyes, we are given a window into a world few people have ever seen.  Welcome to Exuma.”

Teaser Video For New Royalty Free Ambient Space Music Collection

Ambient Space Music | Royalty Free Music Vol.8 Teaser

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!
