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:

Summer Milky Way & Airglow Time Lapse By Harley Grady

Summer Milky Way & Airglow Time Lapse (4K ULTRA HD)

Here’s a really nice new Milky Way time lapse video from photographer Harley Grady that features my ambient space music track Coronal Mass Ejection.

“We’ve had lots of rain in the north Texas area. Finally had a clear (and free) weekend to shoot a time lapse of the Milky Way. Notice the green glow at around the :50 second mark? That’s an astronomical phenomena called ‘airglow’.”

Arrow Of Time – Milky Way Time Lapse Collection By Harley Grady

Arrow Of Time - Milky Way Time Lapse Collection

Can’t believe I don’t seem to have posted about this video here before but perhaps it just slipped through the cracks at a busy time when it was released. It’s a gorgeous Milky Way time lapse video from photographer and filmmaker Harley Grady that features my music track Shadowland.

“This video is a collection of Milky Way time lapse videos that I have shot from 2010-2013. It has been really fun doing so, and I decided to put all of my footage together in one long video to represent what I have done so far.”

Harley Grady

It’s a really beautiful video with some lovely star trails and astrophotography time lapse and I think it fits together with the music perfectly. You can see more of Harley’s work and license his footage from the following links:

Abandoned Mansion House Time Lapse Creepy

This eerie time lapse film of an abandoned house in the woods is from photographer Andre Govia who specialises in photography capturing abandoned houses, hospitals, mental asylums, schools and other buildings with a stunning sense of beauty in decay.

Royalty Free Horror Music (promo video) by Simon Wilkinson: 13 Days Of Nightmares

The music used in the video above is called Day 4 and is from my Royalty Free Collection Vol.7 (13 Days Of Nightmares) which is aimed at providing atmospheric background music for documentary and horror film makers.

The promo video for the album can be seen here on the right and also uses some of Andre’s amazing photographs to illustrate the dark sense of atmosphere and unease in the music.

Andre’s photographs and images are absolutely beautiful in their use of texture, colour and eerie atmosphere and you can see more of his amazing work on his Flickr and Facebook pages below:

Exuma Film Featuring My Music Available On Blu Ray And DVD

Here’s the trailer for photographer and filmmaker Colin Ruggiero‘s film Exuma which features some of my music and is now available to order on Blu Ray and DVD from the Exuma film website.

“Prepare to hold your breath and dive into a thousand shades of blue  on an exploration of the Exuma Cays – a tiny string of pearls tucked away in the middle of the 3,000 other islands that make up the Bahamas.  Shot entirely in HD, the film uses innovative underwater and time-lapse photography to capture the surreal beauty of the Exumas through the eyes of a young woman who lives there.  Through Susanna’s eyes, we are given a window into a world few people have ever seen.  Welcome to Exuma.”
