Here is my submission for the brief below:
Trailer-style Instrumentals (or Cues) that create a huge, epic sound and vibe. Your submissions should have compelling motifs, engaging rhythms, and three "acts" that build to a climactic ending. Your arrangements should combine Orchestral instrumentation with Rock, Hip-Hop, and/or Electronic elements and be generally similar to the style of the references.

Would appreciate thoughts -


Thanks

You've got some great sounds and melodies going on here, well done overall! I'm not experienced at all with this genre so I'll leave any critiques on the composition to the experts here. Production-wise, though, the whole piece sounds overly compressed to me, so, possibly dialing back on that could add more dynamics and punchiness. Hope that helps, and nice work!

Thanks Douglas - I appreciate you taking the time to listen and respond. - Interesting that you mentioned compressed as that was a "ding" I got from a previous submission. I do have a compressor on the main mix bus- I will take another listen and make sure I am not overly compressed- it is so hard given that most of the references sound super compressed to my ears. But I don't want to cut off the dynamics - thanks again
