Outpost 31

Outpost 31 by Simon Wilkinson

Outpost 31 is an epic dark atmospheric instrumental music track from Simon Wilkinson featuring cinematic strings, subtle piano, low horns, heavy medium-tempo Led Zeppelin-style drums and percussion.

Inspired by the ominous atmosphere of the classic John Carpenter movie The Thing, the music has an epic, atmospheric, icy winter feel. Moody strings and heavy drums tinged with elements of electronica and dark piano combine to form a big sound with a mysterious sense of impending danger or survival that would work well for geographic documentaries and nature or history TV trailers.

How Far Away Is It – A Video Book By David Butler

How Far Away Is It - 03 - The Solar System (1080p)

How Far Away Is It is a video book by David Butler that examines the Hubble space telescope and details the distance between objects in our galaxy. The video is split into several chapters covering the Earth, the Solar System and the Heliosphere and you can watch the whole thing for free on YouTube and also on the official website at howfarawayisit.com

The video has been up for a while but only just come to my attention (my music track Exodus is featured several times in the video, as can be heard in the video clip above). It’s a fascinating and beautifully put together project about astrophysics, cosmology and the scale of the universe.

How Far Away Is It is a video book of Hubble and other space and ground based telescope pictures together with an illustrated explanation of how we know how far away these objects are -- from your back yard to the most distant galaxies. How Small Is It takes you from your backyard to the smallest things that exist and covers the Higgs Boson.”

David Butler

The project has obviously been lovingly put together by David with a lot of care, experience and knowledge and it’s a fascinating look at the scale of our galaxy. A great learning resource about our galaxy and well worth a watch!

Frontier

Frontier by Simon Wilkinson

Epic instrumental orchestral trailer music. Slow tentative military snare percussion builds to a dramatic and intense initial climax before dropping to a majestic main mid-tempo atmospheric track featuring strings, French horns, sparse piano, plucked harp, deep timpani, taiko drums and percussion.

Dramatic and mysterious atmospheric instrumental film score style music that moves from an intense epic intro through to more slow and pensive subtle chord changes with a slight air of melancholy. Similar in style to dramatic orchestral composers like Hans Zimmer and 2 Steps From Hell.
