thebluemask.com Relaunches With An Overhaul!

thebluemask.com relaunches with a new design!Welcome to the redesigned, overhauled, trimmed down, leaner, meaner thebluemask.com!

The site has been completely rebuilt from the ground up and now features a cleaner design that’s less text-heavy, works better on mobile devices and tablets and brings a few new features.

I’ve also switched to a better hosting company so the site should now be faster and more stable overall!

One often requested feature is that you no longer need to add the mp3 and license to your cart when buying a license for a single track. Just select either a non-commercial or commercial license and you’ll now get both the music track and license together in your download for one inclusive price.

Here’s a list of a few of the improvements:

  • Cleaner and simpler site design
  • Navigation always visible at top of screen
  • License & music track now included together for one price
  • Re-order music & searches by popularity, alphabetical etc.
  • Change number of tracks displayed per page
  • Hosted on new private server for improved speed, stability and downloading
  • ‘Back to top’ link appears at bottom right for faster navigation on long screens
  • ‘Recently viewed’ tracks list

I’ve put the site through some rigorous testing but as with any major update it’s possible you might come across a glitch that needs ironing out. So if you have any problems or suggestions on what could make it even easier for you to use please let me know!

And to celebrate the relaunch, you can use the coupon code newlook20 to get 20% off all music, licenses and royalty free music collections for one week until Feb 11th 2015.

Through The Ergosphere

Through The Ergosphere by Simon Wilkinson

Through The Ergosphere is a dark ambient space music instrumental that’s particularly suitable as atmospheric background music for filmmakers of space documentaries, sci-fi features or any films with subject matter based around the universe, gravity, science, UFOs, space travel, outer space and the cosmos. Also suitable for documentaries with dark subject matter, e.g. conspiracies, corruption, the illuminati etc.

Dark Ambient Space Music: Through The Ergosphere by Simon Wilkinson

Similar in feel and atmosphere to the hypnotic and ethereal ending of Stanley Kubrick’s epic film 2001: A Space Odyssey or Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres And Soundtracks. Put it on headphones and drift away to dark and mysterious sci-fi landscapes and galaxies.

Ideal music for meditation, study, triggering ASMR, sleep, relaxation or yoga, or to listen to while playing roleplaying space games like Eve Online.

Also for fans of longform ambient music artists such as Brian Eno, Steve Roach, Thomas Koner, Lustmord, Biosphere, Stars Of The Lid, Tangerine Dream and other ambient textural music and soundscapes.

Watch the promo video featuring dark and other worldly deep space video footage from the European Space Agency/Hubble Telescope in the promo video above.


This mp3 track is also available from these websites and online stores (including Bandcamp) but if you want to use the music in your video you’ll need a license which is only available here at thebluemask.com:

Nebula Drift

Nebula Drift by Simon Wilkinson

Nebula Drift is a 23 minute long ambient space music track with a dark and quietly epic atmosphere. Particularly suitable as atmospheric instrumental background music for space documentaries and sci-fi feature film soundtracks or any films with a science fiction or other worldly outer space theme.

Dark Ambient Space Music: Nebula Drift (preview) by Simon Wilkinson

Also for fans of longform ambient music such as Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks or artists like Steve Roach, Lustmord, Thomas Koner, Biosphere, Stars Of The Lid, Tangerine Dream etc.

As well as being available to license for use in your documentary and film soundtracks, this long evolving piece of music is the perfect soundtrack to imaginary dark and mysterious eerie sci-fi landscapes and galaxies.

It makes ideal calming background music for meditation, study, relaxation, ASMR, sleep training or yoga. Many people also find it good atmospheric background music to listen to while playing roleplaying space games or as unobtrusive background music for inspiration when painting or writing.

“Take your next trip (drift) through the thick and mysterious nebulous space. While both mysterious and foreboding, there is also a reassuring angelic voice that holds you in the precarious place between safety and danger.”

Brian Bourassa

“Dark soundscape just the way I like it! I am so pleased I downloaded all of Simon’s work, truly wonderful space music.”

Gideon Morley
