Click here for a track from the show.
This is an image of what the skies may look like when our sun starts dying in the future… and it’s a striking scene in ‘Inside the Milky Way’ which airs tonight on the National Geographic channel.
I wrote the score for this beautiful-looking programme and it gave me a chance to play around with large clockwork-like swathes of music, mainly based on Bach and Handel.
STOP PRESS! Single available here!
Inside the Milky way airs at 9pm on the National Geographic Channel.. Hope you like it!

The extracts from the soundtrack are wonderfull! Did you already make a soundtrack about a TREE? Keep it green! http://www.MyTree.TV
Hi. Just perfect.
Can please someone extract more from this soundtrack?
Especially the one played during Earth travel to another part of the Milky Way
The music for this show was so moving and stirring, I just had to find out who’d done it. Please tell me this soundtrack will be available on CD or in some other obtainable format at some point? It’s so beautiful!
Thanks.
Lauren – I intend to make it a free download to my subscribers!
best wishes
Philip
this is just amazing! I watched the documentary and I hope you will release the full score. Just love it
Dear Mike
Thanks so much. I loved working on this show!
the clockwork galaxy sounds a lot like the variations on the folia from Vivaldi
Exactly right!
I’ve based this on the Handel version.

I saw the film and really loved the music based on a super fast performance of the Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no 6.

greetings from germany
I know I’m waking up an old thread here but I have to try again. I will pay for this track if there’s any way you could produce it. It’s “A great city in the sky” from Inside the Milky Way.(http://youtu.be/aNV1Q–R7-A?t=1m45s). Absolutely gorgeous.
Dear Philip,
we are waiting for the full release of other soundtracks, we will appreciate it so much if you upload them as soon as you can. thank you
In the last seconds of the second minute a violin starts to play! It’s awesome and is beautifully compatible with the background pictures. The whole sound track is so exiting and enthralling and amazingly makes you feel that you are in the space with those shimmering stars! congratulations to the composer for this piece of art!
Please can anybody introduce me some musicians whose type of music is the same as this documentary?
A fan from Iran.
This soundtrack made me think of Vivaldi, The Four Seasons as recomposed by Max Richter. The whole album is amazing but Spring 1 is my favourite and resembles this soundtrack a bit.
It begins with a short intro, followed by the first piece of spring and the rest of the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oYWfJuMGMA
Hope you like it!
I still hope that someday the soundtrack will be released.
