Crazy effects on your Cello to make a tension type trailer, then add some big hits to make it epic? :wink:

Yeah, I’m not sure how to fit that into this theme… :smiley: (Though one could probably create some interesting textures for the build-ups.)

I did have some inspiring improvisation moments the other day, though, and figured I might have a go at an all acoustic track soon (cello, maybe some violin), a bit like the Wolfenstein: The Old Blood menu theme:

Absolutely, I am looking forward to your entry. Go into the studio, or as it may be referred to by us composers “the best place in the world” :wink:

hello all
here is my composition
the title ; the gate , i would try to illustrate a god entrance with a big gate
for the instrumentation i use string, woodwind, brass, percussion and choir
there is also metal hit, and fx
the track is short 1’30 approx
the main difficulties for me is how to start, i decide to draw a scene on how the track will evolve
thanks for listening

Great to have your entry in the final hour of this contest, however I actually would prefer you to make it a separate post so every entry has its own thread in this section. Can you re-post it as its own thread please?

I am glad you decided to join the challenge Julia! :slight_smile:
Did you also post your entry in this section (not this thread). If you haven’t please post a new topic with your entry in the contest section where all other entries are.

Uh oh, I wanted to join so much but… September was such a terrible month, I was busy with my “actual” job, lol… :exploding_head: so I had maybe 2 hours per week for composing and I didn’t finish… I barely even started. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
On the other hand, thanks to the contest I watched many tutorials about composing trailer music, so I learned something new about it! Have to take it from the positive light, right :smile:

Hope I will join some contest in the future!
