Epic orchestral trailer-style instrumentals (#S250704EK)
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2025 5:07 am
I read the listing, listened to the references, and have a question: The listing states 'trailer-style', and the 3-act structure is quoted. Clear, got it. The listing, however, does not mention anything about the trailer-specific sounds such as risers, hits, braams, et cetera. When I listen to the references, I also don't notice a lot of these (at least compared to 'normal' trailers); they seem lighter in this area than I'd normally expect from a trailer. I'm wondering what others think: incorporate the normal amount of trailer-specific elements such as risers, booms, hits, etc, or keep these more reserved and focus on the orchestral side mostly? Maybe others who have submitted to the previous listing (#D250530XJ) and got some feedback on their returns or forwards? I do love writing trailers, but am a bit concerned adding 'the normal amount' of trailer-specific elements might result in a return, as it does state 'trailer-style', which seems to refer more to the general build and structure and less to the trailer-specific elements we all love and nurture?
The listing itself:
------------
Lots of EPIC, ORCHESTRAL TRAILER-style INSTRUMENTALS are needed for Film Trailers and TV Promos by a Powerhouse, NON-EXCLUSIVE Music Licensing Company.
NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing # D250530XJ, but the Company didn't find what they were searching for. If you submitted to listing # D250530XJ, please send different material this time around.
This Company is hunting for a bunch of Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"Shards of Alliance" by Mattia Turzo
Emancipation I Official Trailer
Disney's Mulan | Final Trailer
Quoting the CEO: "3-Act Structures are required."
Please submit original Trailer-Style Instrumentals filled with high-impact arrangements and heart-racing intensity! Engaging compositions, powerful energy, and three "acts" that build to a climactic crescendo are all needed here. Please craft your pieces around one central motif and create dynamics, interest, and lots of forward development throughout. Orchestral instrumentation in the general style of the references will work best - think riveting, pizzicato-style violins, commanding French horns, booming timpani, explosive cymbal crashes, and other cinematic elements etc. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, very realistic, and not dated-sounding.
Submissions should be about 1.5 to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please don't copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Don't submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
-------------
Looking forward to hearing other people's thoughts on this! Load up on trailer-elements like one would normally do for a trailer, or go a bit lighter on them as they're asking for trailer-style?
Thanks everyone in advanced!
