New Ambient Album: Before Silence

Before Silence by Simon Wilkinson
 
My new ambient album Before Silence is now available to download from this website. After a bit of a hiatus this is my first album in several years and hopefully the first of more to come!

Before Silence drifts at the threshold between sound and stillness — eight expansive journeys through the outer reaches of space and the inner landscapes of memory. Built from layers of evolving drones, shimmering textures and vast atmospheric washes, the album traces the quiet moments before the universe exhales. Each piece unfolds slowly, like light bending through nebulae or time stretching across forgotten worlds.

At once intimate and infinite, Before Silence evokes the hum of distant stars, the resonance of abandoned spacecraft and the pulse of consciousness floating untethered in the void. This is music for deep listening – a meditation on the beauty that lingers just before everything fades to quiet.

It’s also available on Bandcamp and all other streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music etc.

Testing My New Drone At Highdown Hill In Sussex

I recently bought myself a drone so I can get some nice atmospheric images for my music videos. Here’s a few simple test shots from up at Highdown Hill in Sussex, close to where I live. It’s only my 3rd flight so I’ve got a lot to learn but I can see myself getting some nice footage with it!

Music is my track Vapour Mining from the album Stateless.
