Epic Score - Pounding Percussion Vol 5

Only the main versions in 128kpbs. Better quality later. File is only 8MB due to the fact that the tracks are only 30 seconds long :)

Two Steps From Hell - Sinners (320)

laroxus · 02-11-11 at 09:37 AM

^ I want to add that a lot of trailer composers; even the "big boys" use software most of the time and add some real instruments to the mix as an afterthought later.

Even the superpopular movie composers like Hans Zimmer; record with a small orchestra and process their sound like it was entirely made with software. So using or sounding like synth does not matter at all...

Music should in the first place be critisized on orchestration and orginality. I thought your compositions aren't bad. You are not a Hans Zimmer of TJB (yet) but those 2 started out with smaller efforts too. I think your effort was more entertaining than some of the "bigger boys" new work.

Cause frankly I personally think a lot of the companies/composers are sounding more generic and bland with every new album they bring out... I personally think that the best of trailermusic could be found in the previous era. Think about the numerous classic X-Ray Dog tracks, the TFOAC-series with the best tracks in the genre, Nemesis, Position Music Volume 2, ... Those albums are still not topped by their follow-ups.

I have the only feeling that TJB is the only person in this genre that tries to be innovative and to do something new. All the rest of the composers are composing their 1200th library track and are totally void of new creative ideas. And then you end up with albums like the new Epic Score. Cool to listen to once but the second time you don't notice anymore there is music playing cause it blends in with the background. It is not because a track had booming percussion and screaming choirs that it is awesome, creative or fresh...

I can delete the post if you would like.

Music should in the first place be critisized on orchestration and orginality.

Actually music sounding like synth is the biggest problem with film music today and Zimmer is the biggest culprit of it because he often takes real musicians and filters the hell out of them until they sound like their synthetic counterparts, completely making the score devoid of any emotion or humanity it would have had before because huge amounts of bass is "cool" and because he thinks brass should be unreasonably loud. Let's not forget that he's decided to no longer even try to be original or creative. Or that because he's such a popular composer because of his "safe" sound (no creativity to be found here!) that many composers either try to emulate his style to find more work or are asked to do it by the director. Of course, this means getting rid of all woodwinds (who needs subtlety or elegance in music anyway?) and usually just neglecting the use of an orchestra entirely, in favor of sound libraries.

Music should in the first place be criticized on emotional power. Even the most simplest of pieces should invoke some sort of emotion in you. When the piece is entirely synthetic, or is altered to the point that it sounds like it is, then it's nearly impossible to instill any sort of feeling in someone.

Of course, originality should be highly criticized too (though orchestration is pretty far down on the list, not sure why you mentioned that) which is funny considering you brought up originality and used Hans Zimmer as your case, though that's an entirely different argument.

Then again, what do I know? I've only been composing for over 20 years.

First of all, I believe our views on the word 'pathetic' are a little in conflict.

Daniel, brave as he is, decides that, despite his young age, his dreams are one goal in life he is going to fight for. He starts making music, improving along the way, accepting critique and trying to get better all the time. He sets up a Facebook page, sells his albums on iTunes, applies for jobs at fairly renowned Trailer Music houses, and gains more publicity, more critique and more advice that way.

Weraq, on the other hand, signs up on an (illegal) file-sharing forum, using a username he randomly chose by mashing some buttons on the keyboard, starts making posts and literally offends a few people, being much of an unpleasant personality overall.
Respect is hard to find in his vocabulary, and he doesn't take the littlest of critique.
He has never lain hand on any kind of music composition software, criticizes others for trying and is being ignorant for the most part.

As I said, conflicting.

Furthermore, the fact that everyone is making music from one week on the other is simply a wrong assumption, and not even true. Some people have been making music all the time. (toshiroo, RiggsRx, Sephiroth, etc.)
It mainly is caused by the fact that music making software is getting cheaper, and much more in reach for the normal classes. More people see other people doing it, and decide that those nifty musical tunes inside their heads need upgrading to the physical world.
I think I am going to give it a try as well.

On a last note, it may suck, but silence is such a nasty noise to listen to... And there's always room for improvement.

Greetings from a fellow trailer music fan.

Thank you for posting this, you expressed my mind :)

If i may add something to it: there are 'creativity killers' around here.

Yes, it's true, more and more people try to compose, they don't always success but their effort to create something is honorable and should be respected. To tell someone to stop composing (or writing, or anything else that is artistic) because what he has done isn't good, is the best way to kill creativity. It's not easy to be successful the first time you try, but if you don't try, or if you stop trying, you'll never have a chance to do something good in the end. It's by trying over and over again that you may improve and eventually be successful.

So, please, people who think that someone's work is poor, do a constructive review that will help that person improve his work, but don't discourage him, that's stupid and selfish. You're killing creativity. Just shut up if you don't like something and you are unable to say it in a respectful way. Or worse, despise it. Thank you.

Everyone have to start someday. If You want to achieve something, you have to work hard, try a lot and look for opportunities. The composers we love now, were amateurs one day, but their talent and hard work made them great. No one create masterpieces from the first day (even trailer music genius, like TJB or Yoav Goren). Give others a chance. Who knows, maybe few of them could be somebody in this industry one day.

I think Koke or Riggs are talented and we should give them a try. They deserve it.
