Rick Hopkinson - Invidious

Rick Hopkinson

Hi 👋 I’m a composer, musician, and sound designer known for my immersive cinematic scores and deep soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from dark ambient, cinematic orchestral music, and ambient synthesiser compositions, my work is designed to take listeners on a unique journey in the mind.

With a focus on atmospheric sound design, my music spans film, gaming, live performances, and my growing catalogue on this channel. My latest project, Sanctuary, blends haunting melodies with darkness and tension, often breaking into moments of blissful light, reflection, and peace.
“It's a trip... and it’s intentional.”

I aim to upload every two weeks on a weekend at 7pm UK time.

In the 1980's, my dream was set... hearing film scores by James Horner, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Vangelis & other modern film composers.
It is my childhood dream to make music for Film, TV & Games!

If you’d like to help fuel the journey, you can support me on Ko-Fi ☕❤️

Thank you! 🙏
