New Orchestral Track ‘Awakening’ Added

Awakening by composer Simon WilkinsonJust added to the site is a new orchestral music track called Awakening. The track is an epic piano-led orchestral instrumental aimed at film and documentary makers looking for atmospheric music for their videos and trailers.

Starting with a simple piano riff, the tracks builds to an epic orchestral arrangement with strings and brass at 2:48.

The overall feel is inspirational and powerful with a slightly darker tone, ideally suited for personal stories or subjects of social uprising (e.g. Occupy protests, financial  events or human rights issues).

You can listen to the track or immediately license it for your project here:

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.

New Dakotalapse Short Time Lapse Clip Catches Satellites

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

This short 1 minute time lapse clip from Randy Halverson is a pretty enough video to watch on its own merits. It’s even more captivating when you look closer and see that Randy managed to capture (by chance) 2 passing satellites in the frames of his film. 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.

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.
