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!

The music used in the video above is called Day 4 and is from my Royalty Free Collection Vol.7 (13 Days Of Nightmares) which is aimed at providing atmospheric background music for documentary and horror film makers.

The promo video for the album can be seen here on the right and also uses some of Andre’s amazing photographs to illustrate the dark sense of atmosphere and unease in the music.

Andre’s photographs and images are absolutely beautiful in their use of texture, colour and eerie atmosphere and you can see more of his amazing work on his Flickr and Facebook pages below:

This beautiful travel video shot in Burma, Myanmar comes from talented travelers, photographers and filmmakers 8 Miles From Home and features my instrumental piano track The Harder Ground.

“Sailing in Burma, Myanmar around the Mergui Archipelago Islands is an experience that very few people get to take. These 800 scarcely explored islands in the Andaman sea are a place of extreme beauty.”

Screen Horror Film For Release On Vimeo On Demand

TRAILER FOR "SCREEN"

Screen is a great looking new horror film from David Paul Baker which features some of my music and is due for imminent release on Vimeo On Demand. The film is about a group of horror fans who are found dead in front of an old drive-in screen. We go back 24 hours to follow two of the characters from this group who discover people died at the drive-in back in the 70s and the screen is haunted… The movie was shot between Tulsa and Cleveland, Oklahoma and bristles with a style reminiscent of horror movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween mixed with a classic grindhouse feel.

“Simultaneously reminiscent of Grindhouse Exploitation films and the new and old waves of “found footage” flicks, and with an opening newsreel sequence, and that kind of foreboding, Tubular Bells-ish music that just isn’t used in movies often enough anymore, SCREEN, directed by David Paul Baker is low-budget, self-sufficient Indie gold at it’s very best.”

Yell Magazine

Screen horror film with music by Simon WilkinsonThe film featuring my music will be released on Vimeo On Demand on the 15th December and you can watch a trailer from the movie above, or sign up to the movie’s mailing list for updates here.

Clip From Documentary Exuma Featuring Some Of My Music

Fish Personalities

Here’s a short clip from a new documentary film by Colin Ruggiero called Exuma that features some of my music. The film features some stunning underwater and time lapse photography:

“The Exumas are a string of small islands in the Bahamas. “Exuma” is the first film to highlight the beauty of these remote “out islands.” The film is a view into this surreal world of sand, sky and water through the eyes and thoughts of a young woman who lives there. Underwater and time-lapse imagery are used to show a side of the Exumas that few people, even those lucky enough to have visited, have ever seen.”
