Evolution The Grand Experiment Episode 2 Documentary Music Clip

Living Fossils, Evolution: The Grand Experiment, Episode 2

Here’s a short clip from episode 2 of the TV documentary show Evolution: The Grand Experiment that I finished scoring the music soundtrack for earlier this year. The show features some stunning nature footage and underwater photography (seen in the video here) and the soundtrack includes more orchestral arrangements as well as acoustic guitar, piano and atmospheric ambient music.

Call The Shot

Call The Shot by Simon Wilkinson

Short 15 second instrumental music clip of upbeat crime jazz/funk suitable for short trailers, promos or commercial stings.

Uptempo muted picked jazz guitar, flute, hi hat drums and upright bass give this instrumental clip a fun, playful and mischievous feel similar to some of the tracks in David Holmes’ Ocean’s 11 heist soundtrack.

New Dakotalapse Time Lapse Video Featuring My Music Tempest

Here’s another new time lapse video from Randy Halverson at Dakotalapse which I provided a new custom scored piece of music and sound effects for. The video is called Tempest Milky Way and my track is called, suitably enough, Tempest.  This is another stunning piece of astronomy time lapse footage shot in South Dakota from June-August 2011.

Tempest by Simon WilkinsonTempest is a dramatic orchestral piece which moves through rising chord progressions of spiccato strings, horns and double bass to build to an atmospheric climax.

The music is available as an mp3 download from my music store (with or without the wind, thunder & lightning SFX). It can also be licensed instantly at low cost for use in your own videos and trailers.

PressPausePlay Documentary


If you’re at all interested in how music, film, books and art are created and consumed (and have an hour and a half to spare) I really recommend watching this excellent documentary PressPausePlay from House Of Radon; it’s nothing to do with me but I found it a fascinating watch!

Some great interviews with Seth Godin, Bill Drummond, Hank Shocklee, Moby and many more. You can actually download the film completely for free directly from the filmmakers’ website www.presspauseplay.com and then donate whatever amount  you feel you should (and if you enjoy it, I urge you do).
