Spectres

Spectres by Simon Wilkinson

Darkly atmospheric & spooky instrumental track with the feel of a modern day contemporary urban western. Intriguing, ghostly and mysterious late night spy music with strings, subtle vinyl crackle, DJ scratching and a slight eerie Portishead vibe. Spectres is a dark and moody instrumental track that’s ideal for paranormal TV shows, Halloween playlists or ghost-themed documentaries.

Silent Memories

Silent Memories by Simon Wilkinson

Slow, melancholy and gentle plucked acoustic guitar with warm Fender Rhodes keyboards, atmospheric background pads, piano, soft strings and sparse muted percussion. Sad instrumental music with a quiet and reflective somber feel.

Sounds like: late night reminiscing, rainy Sunday afternoons, reflection and wistful nostalgia that would work well as background music for reflective films or pensive human interest documentaries.

My Music Featured In H.P. Lovecraft App

Lovecraft Collection ® Volume 1: The beast in the cave

Some of my dark atmospheric horror music is featured in this beautiful app/ebook called Lovecraft Collection Vol.1: The Beast In The Cave from developers Designers Of Code.

The app is available on Android and iOS and is a beautifully designed interactive book featuring original artwork and stories from master cosmic horror author H.P. Lovecraft, readable in English, Spanish and French with original translations.

My music is used throughout to add an atmosphere of mystery and horror and I’m very pleased to have my work featured in such an attractively designed package!

“This was one of the best apps I have seen on the Kindle Fire thus far. I’m a huge Lovecraft fan and this definitely brings the story to life!! I highly recommend it! Looking forward for the newer stories. Illustrations are great, music and sound effects are great (highly recommend earphones), overall, a great app!!!!”

New Short Film From Eric Uys Featuring My Piano Music


Here’s a new short film from filmmaker and photographer Eric Uys which features some of my atmospheric royalty free piano music in the soundtrack. Filmed in one location with one actor in under 5 hours, Eric’s short film Vision is a dark and eerie piece based on the idea of a girl who gets a recurring dream in a dream warning of something ominous.

“So this film is essentially about the future and even knowing your future are you still able to escape its path?”

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.

Time Lapse Video Surreal Journey Featuring My Music Scorpio


Here’s another awesome time lapse film featuring my music in the soundtrack. This excellent piece from photographer Ben Chase is called Surreal Journey and uses my licensed track Scorpio. Ben describes his work:

“From the late-night departures in inclement weather to the exploring of distant unmarked roads, my pursuit of photography is often a “Surreal Journey”. This was produced from footage and time-lapse frames taken in the Northwest Territories, Wyoming, Washington State, and Montana.”

I’m extremely honoured to have some of my music featured in this hour long PBS documentary about the legendary comedian Richard Pryor. The show is available on the PBS Network.

“On this all new episode of :ICON, we delve into the life and legacy of Richard Pryor — how he came up through the brothels of Peoria, Illinois, performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, got banned by the networks, and became embroiled in a pattern of self-destruction that threatened his life.”
