Simon Wilkinson | Atmospheric Music For Documentaries, Films & YouTube
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.
Dark, downbeat, atmospheric and contemplative with an air of downtempo melancholy that sounds a bit like Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan. Written and sung by Mr Bennett – produced and arranged by Simon Wilkinson.
Melancholy and dramatic instrumental music with a solemn air available to license for your films and videos by selecting from the options above. Featuring piano, strings, acoustic guitar and drums, Stolen is an ideal instrumental music track for film end credits or title sequences.
Here’s the latest episode #5 in the Bigfoot documentary series Sasquatch: Out Of The Shadows which features some of my dark atmospheric music. The track you can hear in this episode is called Chrome Skies from Volume 6 of my royalty free music Dark Matter.
The series is produced by Aleksandar Petakov of Petakov Media and you can follow the YouTube channel of the documentary here.
My new ambient album Hegira is now available to download from this website. Following on from 2018’s Stateless it’s my fifth album of longform ambient space music, full of atmospheric soundscapes and textures. It’s also available on Bandcamp and should be on all other streaming services within a few days.
Some of my dark atmospheric music will be featuring in an upcoming documentary on the Crime & Investigation Network.

My track Meridian Flux from my most recent ambient space music album Merging The Infinite has been featured on the Syndae.de podcast (Ep 394) from Stefan Schulze.
You can listen to the podcast on the link below along with other artists including David Helpling, Levente, Sava Marinkovic and Giulio Aldinucci:
Soma is a dark instrumental solo piano music track with ambient background soundscapes, sparse touches of pizzicato strings, double bass and very minimal percussive effects.
Atmospheric and emotional arpeggiated piano music ideal for films, human interest documentaries, political thrillers, dramas or trailers. Sparse and pensive music with a dark ominous quality that’s similar in style to quietly dramatic minimal piano composers like Erik Satie, Philip Glass and Ludovico Einaudi.
This mp3 track is also available from these websites and online stores but if you want to use the music in your video you’ll need a license which is only available here at thebluemask.com:
