The importance of a Positive Mental Attitude with Kati Falk-Flores

In today’s episode I walk you through the Trailer Music that was used in A Very British Scandal.This was a bit of a double win for me as this track was a track that I wrote when teaching how to write Emotional Solo String pieces for the Protege Pro students.I’m gonna be totally honest here, I still suffer from bouts of imposter syndrome and fears of it all falling apart (ie not winning any more trailers and everyone finding out that I am a fraud).Not easy to admit but feels pretty good and hopefully helps you realise that that stuff doesn’t just go away.So, winning this trailer with this track was the proof in the pudding that I needed to remind me that the stuff I am teaching is relevant and useful still.This after all is one of the purposes for Protege’s existence; to teach people how to write in many different styles and to make each track ready for sync (sale).I hope you get a lot out of this walkthrough, I always really enjoy doing them.

How to start your trailer music career, avoiding burnout, and landing placements with Sigurd Jøhnk-Jensen

In this episode I show you how I composed the track ‘Monument’ that was featured in the trailer for the Netflix show, Archive 81.This track was one of the ten tracks written for Elephant Music’s album, Throat 4.The focus of this album was to bring throat singing to the fore and let vocals replace the cello that had become so popular.I sketched out the entire album using only my voice and then slowly replaced those parts with other instruments and we even got a throat singer in to really hammer home that sound.I really enjoyed writing this album as it felt so fresh and exciting.

Archive 81 Trailer Music Walkthrough

In this episode I talk about feeling like I had lost my passion for writing music and how I re-ignited my spark.Recently, maybe even over the last couple of years, I have been feeling a bit meh about writing music.I didn’t really want to openly admit it, especially on my show/blog, but as you know I think being open about these types of struggles we all face is incredibly important to keep the mental dialogue open.I have felt like I have just been running through the motions.It wasn’t until I had the help and advice of some of my colleagues and fellow composers that I realised that I needed to get myself excited about writing music again.In this episode I show you what tools I used and how they can help you to get you excited about your creative process again.I really do hope it helps.

How To Re-Ignite Your Spark

In today’s episode I take you behind the scenes of a track of mine that was used in the trailer for Netflix’s special, Britney vs Spears.The track was a track I wrote for a two album release from Mammoth. The albums were solely epic drum intros aimed at action comedy trailers.The effect of each track was to give the editors percussive tracks that started small, gave them good cut points, and also supplied enough drive and impact to create enough drama for their trailers.I really enjoyed writing all of these 20 tracks and as this track was one of the first I was really happy to see it land on this trailer. I am also a huge fan of Britney Spears, so doubly awesome really.—If you want to know how to craft the perfect trailer cue then you can download the FREE PDF here.

Selling millions of dollars of CDs & learning in a fun and Genki way with Richard Graham

This show is for the Trailer Music Composer both amateur and professional. I cover a range of topics from mindset to productivity, to creativity and production.From time to time there will be special guests giving their experience of working in the Trailer Music industry and even some aspiring composers sharing their stories from The Trailer Music School.

In this episode of the podcast I talk about why it’s important to use big trailer hits in your trailer music.This goes back to something I am always saying to students, “Trailer music is about character, build, and impact”. Yes, you guessed it, these hits take you one step closer to getting that impact that you need.Why do you even need impact? We are dealing with stories. These stories are usually set against a larger world. We as composers are representing these stories and struggles in our music so we also have to give the viewers/listeners a sense of these large tales. These big hits supply the sense of something bigger. Something larger than life.I go into more detail about this and how you can even use hits to speed up your writing.Start your journey in Trailer Music

Why bother using "trailerised" impacts and hits

In this episode of the podcast I talk about “Pigeon-holing” your music.I came across this notion (not for the first time) in some comments on Facebook. Now you all know how I feel about cynical/critical people. BUT, this comment sparked a thought that I should probably give my ‘two cents’ on this.I think so many composers (people in general) are riddled with fear and anxiety about their abilities. The sad thing is that this fear is often masked by being overly critical of others, perhaps even being a tad too driven by an ego. I’m not standing on a pedestal saying how great I am because I have overcome my ego - I have not. I am saying that we need to keep ourselves in check by asking something like “am I reacting out of fear or out of love and excitement?”I hope you enjoy the episode.Start your journey in Trailer Music

“Pigeon-hole my music” - find your niche more like it

In this episode of the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast I am joined by not one, but two very special guests. The supervisor/composer duo Emma Middleton (@rubatomusic_uk) and Kiaran Scragg (@fortnowhere).Together the two of them wrote the track featured on the teaser trailer of The Witcher Season 2.

The Role of A Freelance Music Supervisor with Emma Middleton

Happy New Year Everyone - 2022 is here and what a way to kick it off (albeit it a little late) than to re-launch the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast!?You may have noticed that I took a little break from producing episodes for the show/site. I was simply following my own advice and giving myself some space for reflection and to avoid overwhelm whilst Vik and I launched the second year of Protege.So what should you expect from the Trailer Music Composers’ Podcast this year?Firstly I am not going to stray from the solo banter / monolog format we have all come to know and love. It gives me a reason to leave the house and enjoy the local woods whilst also getting to answer some of your burning questions about Trailer Music.Secondly I have lots of very exciting guests lined up to join me on the show and give you all some super awesome insights into the world of Trailer Music.The Trailer Music School is ChangingI’m also going to take this opportunity to tell you that the Trailer Music School is going through some changes. It’s basically becoming a teenager. It's so different.Not that I need to explain the inner workings of the business BUT the courses are being migrated off of wordpress and onto another platform.Fear not wonderful customers, your access is safe. Simply follow this password reset link to access your courses on the new platform.All New Inventive Instruments Are Here…I have been busy producing a load of new instruments for my own use. I have used these new instruments on all of the latest Elephant Music releases and now I am going to be releasing them to the public.As you know I launched this company a few years ago but let it take a back seat whilst I worked on the TMS and Protege (and my writing of course). I felt kind of bad for myself putting all that time into these products and then just leaving them on my own hard drive to only be used by me. As you know I believe that we should be sharing what we do with the world and seeing it as a kind of service.So, I decided to get all my Inventive Instruments ready and put them in a bundle of joy. There are 10 previously unreleased Kontakt instruments in the bundle and, well, I think it’s totally awesome. Of course I would though right!?I will keep you posted when this is ready.Trailer Music CoursesI have decided to move the courses to a new, sleeker platform. The courses are the same except now it’s easier to get hold of them. You can check out the new shop here.So nice to be back and can’t wait to get stuck into this year’s content.

Happy New Year Everyone - 2022 is here and what a way to kick it off (albeit it a little late) than to re-launch the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast!? You may have noticed that I took a little break from producing episodes for the show/site. I was simply following my own advice and giving myself some space for reflection and to avoid overwhelm whilst Vik and I launched the second year of <a href="https://protege.school" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Protege</a>. So what should you expect from the Trailer Music Composers’ Podcast this year? Firstly I am not going to stray from the solo banter / monolog format we have all come to know and love. It gives me a reason to leave the house and enjoy the local woods whilst also getting to answer some of your burning questions about Trailer Music. Secondly I have lots of very exciting guests lined up to join me on the show and give you all some super awesome insights into the world of Trailer Music. The Trailer Music School is Changing I’m also going to take this opportunity to tell you that the Trailer Music School is going through some changes. It’s basically becoming a teenager. It's so different. Not that I need to explain the inner workings of the business BUT the courses are being migrated off of wordpress and onto another platform. Fear not wonderful customers, your access is safe. Simply follow this password reset link to access your courses on the new platform. All New Inventive Instruments Are Here… I have been busy producing a load of new instruments for my own use. I have used these new instruments on all of the latest Elephant Music releases and now I am going to be releasing them to the public. As you know I launched this company a few years ago but let it take a back seat whilst I worked on the TMS and Protege (and my writing of course).  I felt kind of bad for myself putting all that time into these products and then just leaving them on my own hard drive to only be used by me. As you know I believe that we should be sharing what we do with the world and seeing it as a kind of service. So, I decided to get all my Inventive Instruments ready and put them in a bundle of joy.  There are 10 previously unreleased Kontakt instruments in the bundle and, well, I think it’s totally awesome.

Ciaran, Cody and Rich talk about feedback, customs and rejection

I have taken several of Rich’s trailer videos and am a member of his Trailer Music School. The podcasts are an amazing add-on to what we learn at TMS. Plus, Rich has an amazing sense of humor. Even if you aren’t aiming specifically to be a trailer composer, you will be highly entertained by Rich and will learn a ton!

Highly recommend for aspiring trailer composers!

This show is for the Trailer Music Composer both amateur and professional. I cover a range of topics from mindset to productivity, to creativity and production.From time to time there will be special guests giving their experience of working in the Trailer Music industry and even some aspiring composers sharing their stories from The Trailer Music School.
