EPIC, SLOW-BURN HYBRID TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS

Happy to report that "Forge of Destiny", a collaboration that I did with David, has been forwarded.
You can have a listen to it here : https://www.taxi.com/members/XGCpSwegQ3 ... of-destiny

And that's the listing for your reference:
EPIC, SLOW-BURN HYBRID TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an EXCLUSIVE, top-tier Music Licensing Company with placements in huge Film Trailers, Video Games, and TV Shows.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This is a great opportunity to create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome company!

This Company is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Zenith" by InfraSound

"Blackburn" by 2WEI

Quoting the Company: "We're after powerful music with a mellow beginning. The tracks should follow the Intro > Build > Climax > Climax II (optional) > Outro structure. The intro needs to be minimal and slow, with very few elements that build to an edit point. The second act should start to introduce the next elements, simple rhythms and pulses before another edit point. The climax should unleash the full melody with all the powerful instruments, push onto the Climax II if needed where you will add to the power with bigger hits and higher octaves. Ease the track out with a gentle outro. Most importantly build intense tension and release as a huge epic climax. Work with a melodic idea and flesh out with massive brass, climbing strings, heavy percussion, unique sound design and scorching guitars. Choirs may be added for dramatic value also. Think epic battlegrounds and game boss fights."

Please submit epic Hybrid Trailer-Style Instrumentals that follow the structure that the Company has laid out above. You'd be wise to stick with one melodic motif/idea per submission so they stay cohesive throughout. Please be sure that your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, polished, and modern. Don't be afraid to layer up your instrumentation to create a huge, blockbuster sound!

NOTE: This Company is more interested in composers who can deliver full albums in this style than people who only produce one or two tracks every now and then. We suspect that if they hear a couple of your tracks and love what you're doing, they'll ask you to send them more music on an ongoing basis.

All submissions should be about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, button/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You'll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll get 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control your Master and Composition rights. Since this is an Exclusive deal, please be sure your material is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2021. TAXI # S211123SB

Thank you Chris, and glad you enjoyed the interview!
This trailer has indeed and additional "outro" part that helps ending the trailer for the end messages on a trailer.

Yes, great interview! At 33:35, you mention being advised to watch youtubes by someone named Nick, but I'm not making out the last name. Can you help me out with that?

How does "slow burn" influence the composition, production, etc.?

Thank you Michael! I suppose I was talking about Nick Murray. He did a class in some of the Road Rallies, in 2015 or 2016, I can't remember.
