New Dark And Atmospheric Royalty Free Horror Album Vol.7

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

Royalty Free Film & Documentary Music Vol.7: 13 Days Of NightmaresHere’s the new promo video for volume 7 in my royalty free music collection entitled 13 Days Of Nightmares. The collection includes 13 tracks (50 minutes) of dark atmospheric ambient soundscapes and background music suitable for dark documentaries and horror films.

The collection was inspired by the nightmarish atmosphere of dark psychological horror films like The Shining, Session 9 and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where the horror and dread is often implied and sensed rather than seen.

The images in the video above are from urbex photographer Andre Govia who specialises in photographic images from real life locations of abandoned mental asylums, institutions, hospitals and other buildings which have been left to decay without maintenance. Although these buildings have often fallen into a state of disrepair (sometimes dangerous to the public) there is a real sense of eerie beauty and the ominous history of the buildings as the architecture takes on its own life and atmosphere after it’s been left to fend for itself.

You can see more of Andre’s amazing work on Flickr:

The album 13 Days Of Nightmares is available as a wav or mp3 download for £39.99 from my website and after purchase can be used in an unlimited number of your own films and documentaries without needing to pay any more (see licensing info for full details):

Royalty Free Music Vol.7 by Simon Wilkinson

Volume 7 of my royalty free music contains 13 tracks (49:25 minutes) of dark and scary royalty free horror music. Full of unearthly creepy atmospheres, unsettling musical drones, horror music soundscapes, low rumbles and distorted frequencies. Themed into 13 imaginary days, you’ll hear dark background noises, metallic scrapes and grinds, dissonant waterphones and the eerie sounds of abandoned asylums, haunted corridors, exits slamming shut and the distant echoes of menacing voices.

Ideal musical underscore to add a sense of menace and foreboding to your films and videos. My royalty free music collections are a one-time payment that lets you keep using the music in all your videos without needing to pay recurring license fees (or ‘royalties’) each time you want to release a new film or project using the music. Read more about licensing info here.

Inspired by the unsettling style of dark psychological horror films like The Shining, Session 9, Blair Witch Project, Hostel, Wolf Creek and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the music evokes the nightmare atmospheres of abandoned mental asylums, hospitals, orphanages and haunted buildings.

Also suitable as background music for documentaries with dark subject matter, e.g. conspiracies, the illuminati etc. Listen to full length previews of all the tracks in the music player above or watch the promo video below set to eerie footage of abandoned hospital wards, asylums and derelict buildings.

New Ambient Album Promo Video ‘Cryosleep Dreams’

Ambient Space Music: Cryosleep Dreams (album sampler) by Simon Wilkinson

I’ve just released a new album of ambient space music called Cryosleep Dreams and you can watch a promo video for it above. The album features 10 tracks (101 minutes) of atmospheric and cinematic music with a sci-fi/space theme.

The music is instrumental and richly textured and varies from dark drones to light, airy and ethereal pieces. It’s the kind of music you can listen to while working, writing, meditating, triggering ASMR or just to help you sleep. All of the tracks are at least 7 minutes long (the longest being just under 20 minutes) which makes it perfect for calming background use or falling asleep to.

This album is aimed more at ‘general’ fans of atmospheric ambient music (as opposed to filmmakers) although the tracks will be available for licensing if you’re interested. I’ve had feedback from people who like the sound of my royalty free music albums but understandably don’t want to pay for licensing when they just want to listen to it for pleasure. So I’ll be writing lots more ‘regular’ albums that will be priced more in line with standard albums for non-industry music fans.

Tracklisting:

1. Alpha State Begins (9:05)
2. Pushing Through Crystal Ice Clouds (14:32)
3. Planetfall (8:00)
4. Gravity Waves (8:38)
5. Descending Node (7:01)
6. Orbital Drift (10:17)
7. Binary Storm (7:05)
8. Panoramic Light (9:55)
9. Cold Methuselah (7:04)
10. The Divine Realm (19:42)

The album is available now from my store (link below) and also on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc. The lovely cover image comes courtesy of artist and photographer Sarah Fenwick at www.sjfbetty.com and I knew it was the perfect image for the album cover as soon as I saw it.
