Trailer music for Star Atlas · composed, mixed & mastered under one roof
What you get
A trailer has 150 seconds to convince the world. The music is the architecture
Trailer music is its own discipline: the four-act build, the risers and impacts, the silence before the final hit - all of it composed in reverse from your title card so the structure lands to the frame. Because I write the music and design the sound from one hand, the hits, risers, and silences breathe with your cut instead of fighting it. And unlike a licensed song - often six figures for a major campaign, rented and non-exclusive - a custom trailer score is written to your picture and belongs to your campaign alone.
What you can commission
Every format the campaign needs
Main trailer scores and teaser cues - the four-act build, engineered to your cut from cold open to title card.
Cinematic and gameplay trailer music - worlds established in seconds, hits locked to the edit, as scored for Star Atlas: SURGE.
Launch films and campaign openers that borrow cinema’s grammar - built on your sonic identity where one exists.
30, 15, and 6 second versions engineered from the same idea - so the campaign sounds like one voice from cinema to feed.
Watch it work
A game trailer, scored start to finish
Trailer music production for Star Atlas: SURGE - one world, one build, every hit locked to the cut.
How it works
One question drives the brief: what should the audience feel at the final frame? Everything else is engineered backwards from that answer.
One strong musical idea, built into a four-act structure and backtimed to your cut - act breaks, riser peaks, and the last silence placed to the frame.
Mixed and mastered to translate from cinema to phone speaker, delivered with cutdowns for 30, 15, and 6 second placements plus stems for your editors.
Questions
Both work. Music-first lets your editor cut to the score’s architecture; picture-first means the score is backtimed so every hit lands on your frames. Most campaigns combine the two.
Written to the format: teaser, main trailer, and cutdowns for 30, 15, and 6 second placements, plus stems so your editors can adapt under dialogue and sound design.
Usually, yes. A known song for a major campaign often costs six figures, time-limited and non-exclusive. A custom score is typically less, written to your cut, and exclusively yours.
