Dizzy

Dizzy by Simon Wilkinson

Reflective, melancholy and atmospheric song with vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica, organ and piano. Slow and contemplative with an air of melancholy. Would work well in feature films or romantic dramas needing a touch of humanity and warmth.

Written and sung by Mr Bennett, produced and arranged by Simon Wilkinson. Reflective and personal songwriting that sounds a bit like classic songwriters such as Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.

Available for a limited time as a free mp3 download (please note: this is for personal listening only. The free download still requires a license if you wish to use the song in any video or production).

Cool Breeze

Cool Breeze by Simon Wilkinson

Mellow, crisp, medium tempo instrumental breakbeats with upbeat cinematic string effects and warm bass topped off with sun-kissed soft melodic trumpet lines. Summery vibes for a positive atmosphere that would be ideal music for travel videos, TV shows or documentaries.

Starting with the sounds of waves gently lapping on the beach, ideal music for relaxing on chilled summer nights with a glass of wine or lazing on the beach but would also work well in holiday and vacation videos or fashion documentaries.

Asakusa Temple

Asakusa Temple by Simon Wilkinson

Asakusa Temple is a gentle and reflective instrumental music track with a calming Far Eastern feel featuring plucked harp, strings, light percussion and subtle acoustic guitar. Slow, sparse and contemplative background music with a mysterious and downtempo dreamy feel that would work well for films, human interest documentaries or visuals with a focus on travel, nature or geography.

Oriental sounding instrumental especially suited for geographic themes of China or Japan, or scenes with a mood of mystery or mellow intrigue (e.g. diving or underwater images). Would also make ideal background music for subjects of wellbeing, mindfulness, hypnotherapy or yoga videos.

New Dakotalapse Short Time Lapse Clip Catches Satellites

Final Boost Stage of GSSAP and ANGELS satellites - 4K UHD

The GSSAP and ANGELS satellites had launched on July 28th at 7:28 EDT and can be seen within the video above.

The background music is New World Dawn from volume 8 of my royalty free music collection Deep Space Ambient.

A New Arrival
