Thanks to the always supportive John Shanahan over at the awesome and ethereal Hypnagogue Podcast for featuring the title track from my ambient album Stateless on his latest podcast.
Be sure to check out episode 306 and all the others here:
Emotional and melancholy piano music with sparse touches of pizzicato string and harp plucks giving a subtle atmosphere of romantic regret, sadness and longing. Atmospheric and solo piano music to license for human interest documentaries and films of a personal emotional nature.
Leaving Paris is similar in style to the piano pieces from Amelie and The Hours soundtracks or the minimal piano music of composers like Michael Nyman, Philip Glass, Ludovico Einaudi and Yann Tiersen. Thoughtful, emotional, pensive and sparse music ideal for film or human interest documentaries.

Writer Harlan Ellison draws some parallels about (not) working for free that many media composers will be familiar with…
Field Of View is the amazing new timelapse video from Randy Halverson at Dakotalapse which you can watch above. Randy describes some of his photography below:
“Field Of View is a compilation of timelapse I have shot in the last year. The first shot of the sunset supercell was done on July 23, 2015. That storm dropped multiple Tornadoes in eastern South Dakota, I was shooting it from central SD. I shot timelapse of that same storm for almost 4 hours into the night. Other locations in the sequences are Aurora in central, western South Dakota and the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. The Red Desert in Wyoming, Badlands and Buffalo Gap National Grasslands area of South Dakota. Bighorn and Teton Mountain areas in Wyoming.”

There’s also an extended 30+ minute version of the video available in 1080p featuring my atmospheric ambient music tracks Halo’s Edge and Orbital Drift which you can get directly from Dakotalapse here:

As with all of Randy’s work, the photography is stunning and it makes for a beautifully calming video to watch, so I highly recommend supporting Randy by purchasing the full version!
Strident and bold background music for documentaries needing a feeling of travelling, exploration or to illustrate the beginning or climax of a journey.
Brisk, energetic and enthusiastic, this short rhythmic and upbeat instrumental track would make ideal inspirational background music for documentary travel videos, boat races, yachting scenes or travel footage featuring the ocean, maps or journeys etc. Wayfarer is a lively and wide-eyed track with a soaring spirit of adventure.

BBC documentary about Harry Partch, an idiosyncratic American composer and instrument maker who devised his own microtonal musical scales. He built his own instruments based on these scales to play his compositions. Fascinating chap!
Dark instrumental piano music similar in style to minimalist composers like Philip Glass and Erik Satie. Falling Down is insistent and intense with a cyclic sound, ideal as ominous background music for human interest documentaries, political thrillers, dramas or trailers needing a mood of impending trouble, tension, danger, paranoia and subversion.

Climactic orchestral trailer music with thunderous drums and heavy percussion, strings, brass and choir that builds to a symphonic climax as the hordes begin their attack. Urgent and dramatic, this 30 second track can add epic drama and intensity to visuals. Think of the film ‘300’ or epic orchestral action music from artists like 2 Steps From Hell and Hans Zimmer.
Short dramatic background music that’s ideal for adding atmosphere, excitement and a sense of danger to your film trailers, adverts, video games and commercials. You can license Aeternus to use in your trailers, TV commercials and promo videos by selecting either a non-commercial or commercial license from the options above.

Nice video from photographer and filmmaker Lukas Spieker taking a walk through Bern in Switzerland and shot using the 120 fps slow motion feature of the iPhone 5S. It’s a really nice moody and atmospheric short film and is accompanied by my music track Secret City.

Night Calving is a sparse instrumental piano music track with a dark and lonely atmosphere. Sparse and atmospheric piano with subtle hints of harmonica, guitar notes and icy water soundscapes.
Cold, lonely and introspective music that conjures up images of floating in icy water amongst glacial icebergs in the dead of night. Ideal piano soundtrack for human interest documentaries and YouTube videos needing an introspective and melancholy feel.
