Bloodstorm

Bloodstorm by Simon Wilkinson

Explosive orchestral music track Bloodstorm by composer Simon Wilkinson. Dramatic and epic orchestral action music, ideal for film trailers, sports promos or scenes of fighting and battles.

Please note: the music comes in 3 versions which you’ll receive all 3 of when buying or licensing this track: a full length 2:36 mix, a 1 minute version and a 45 second version (hear the 3 versions above).

Starts off quietly with ominous high strings and slowly plucked harp, then erupts into a dramatic explosion of excitement featuring orchestral percussion, heavy drums, brass and strings before dropping to a piano coda then building one last time to a persistent intense and dramatic climax.


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:

Following on from using my music for several previous games, 2 more of my orchestral music tracks have been used to help hype up the crowd for basketball giants the L.A. Lakers in their 2010/2011 NBA season playoff games.

I created 2 new mixes of my orchestral action music tracks Aeternus (top video) and Bloodstorm (bottom video) for the Lakers’ pre-game intros at their home stadium the Staples Center.

The videos are played before the game on the stadium’s giant video screens to help build up excitement and introduce the team. The music tracks are also available to download and license for use in your own film, video or trailer from my online music shop here:

New Dakotalapse Time Lapse Video Temporal Distortion Featuring My Music

Temporal Distortion

Here’s the latest stunning time lapse film from Randy Halverson at Dakotalapse called Temporal Distortion. The online clip above features an awesome original custom score written especially for the piece by acclaimed composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, Eureka etc.)

There is also a longer extended version of the film (over 23 minutes) available to download from the Dakotalapse website here which uses all my music including 2 new pieces written especially for it, as well as other music from my royalty free collections. Below is a short collection of excerpts from the extended film using one of the tracks I wrote for it called Shadowland (the full track is over 8 mins):


The film incorporates stunning time lapse footage of the Milky Way, Aurora and other night time lapse scenes. There is no CGI -- what you see is real, but you can’t see it this way with the naked eye. It is the result of 20-30 second exposures, edited together over many hours to produce the time lapse. This allows you to see the Milky Way, Aurora and other phenomena, in a way you wouldn’t normally see them. See more of Randy’s phenomenal photography and films at www.dakotalapse.com

The new tracks written for the extended cut are culled Shadowland and Soma and available to download from my store:

My Dramatic Orchestral Track Titan Used In L.A. Lakers’ Opening Night Intro

LA Lakers v Houston Rockets Opening Intro October 2010
L.A. Lakers Intro Video 2010 #1 Feat. Music By Simon Wilkinson

My orchestral action track Titan was used in last night’s opening ceremony for basketball team the L.A. Lakers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Among the crowd were Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington and David Beckham.

The music introduced the Lakers in this introductory video clip just before they played their first game of the NBA season against the Houston Rockets (the Lakers won 112-110; maybe the music gave them the edge ;)

Thanks to Peter Bailey at Sideshow Studios (www.sideshow-studios.com) who wrote, directed and edited all the graphics and video for the promo.

You can get the full orchestral track Titan to download or license for use in your own projects from my mp3 shop here:

Spring Fields

Spring Fields by Simon Wilkinson

but positive instrumental music perfect for human interest short films, trailers, commercials and promo videos. Gentle piano with subtle pizzicato bass notes and tinkling bells cycle around several times before adding more layers of pizzicato strings then leading to an emotional climax with full orchestra and strings.

Please note: the music comes in 2 versions (see above) which you’ll receive both of when buying or licensing this track: a full length 2:40 mix and a shorter 1 minute edit (in case you need a specific length for TV commercials or other strict 1 minute uses).

After a gentle start, this positive and energetic track is full of hope and a spirit of determination and adventure. Ideal music for thoughtful and inspirational stories about overcoming adversity and the triumph and beauty of the human spirit.


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:
