His styles range from atmospheric ambient and cinematic electronica to exciting percussive contemporary orchestral action tracks, although much of his work is based around dark ambient space music with themes of exploration, outer space and interstellar atmospheres.

Simon plays guitar, bass, keyboards (acoustic piano, Fender Rhodes, and a wide range of synthesizer and acoustic keyboard instruments), drums and percussion (acoustic and electronic), full orchestral arrangements and much more.

More information on his work and music, including mp3 downloads and royalty free music collections can be found on his official website www.thebluemask.com.

Fantastic and immersive track! Channeling the best of Steve Roach, Jonn Serrie, and Thom Brennan while still being totally unique in a "Simon Wilkinson" sort of way. Just discovered your music this week via DI.FM and will be purchasing quite a bit. Thanks for sharing your vision with us!

Simon Wilkinson

Thank you, that's a much appreciated comment :)

Congratulations for a superb job, Simon. I haven't heard this one until today but listened for a long time to "Through the Ergosphere". I can only say that, listening to them, I want to be on a spaceship, travelling the cosmos... Thumbs up, man.

Just recently the Geminid meteor shower took place and, me being me, I needed a sort of harmonious track to go with it. I'm glad I stumbled upon this a couple of years ago. This definitely conveyed the emotional journey of space and the wonders that come with it. We are only given a slim glimpse of the vastness in space only being here on earth with our naked eyes. Thank you so much for this wonderful masterpiece, please continue your works in this genre.

To appreciate GOOD ambient music, in my opinion, you must be in a very dark place in your mind/life. Transient "happiness" of nowdays life/humanity has no place here. And thats an opinion from a metalhead that had nothing to do with ambient music till now. Great work Mr. Wilkinson. THANK YOU.

This is totally random, but just now I was lying in bed, total darkness and silence and the name Nebula Drift came to me. Having a curious mind, I decided to type it into google and now here I am. Thank you for this.

So yeah, I listened to "Through the Ergosphere" as I was trying to sleep. I had this dream I was standing on a moon overlooking the solar system, when all of a sudden I heard this bloodcurdling noise off in the distance. I spent what felt like 2 hours just trying to get away from what made that noise...Not complaining, just letting you know your music is so good it makes me dream.

Simon, why are the prices so different on itunes and Amazon?
I really like the track but it lists as $9.99 for the single 23 min track on itunes.

@Simon Wilkinson
Whew. I love your music and I'm happy to buy from you directly. Yet another opportunity lost by Apple for revenue due to insane policy.

I know, it's a pain. Unfortunately the stores set their own prices which I can't change. Any track that's over 10 minutes long on iTunes is automatically set to be available as an album only, even if it's a single track, and charged at album price. It's stupid but unfortunately unless iTunes change their rules there's nothing I can do to make it cheaper on there. I'd recommend you don't get it from iTunes. You can always get it direct from my own website for £0.99. Link is in the description. Thanks, S.
