I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Yoav Goren on the Trailer Music Composer’s podcast.

For those of you who don’t know Yoav, is the co-founder of Immediate music with Jeff Fayman. Together they played an enormous part in shaping the railer music world and even the epic music world as we know it. Yoav and Jeff also went on to found 1 Revolution music which is a production music company focused on producing music for use on TV.

Yoav is also the man behind Globus, the epic music artist that introduced me to epic music. As you can imagine I was very happy to be able to thank him in person for that!

We also shared the same ideas behind the importance of joy and playfulness in what we do and also the plain and simple fact that we must share what we create as a matter of course!

In the show we discuss:

• The importance of joy in music creation
• Realising that what you create is a gift to the world
• How Globus was created
• How to approach writing music for custom scoring work
• The importance of layering live instruments with samples

Links mentioned in the show:

• Globus Cinematica
• Keyscape
• Ascend
• Novo Strings
• Los Angeles Scoring Strings
• Spitfire Audio Abbey Road 
• Cinesamples Brass

In today's episode we get a question from Stephen Tallamy, in fact it is a string of excellent questions about what composers should expect in terms of timelines; of releases, first placements, receiving royalties, and track performance.

A ton of great info and of course I get sidetracked along the way talking about purpose, meaning and self care.

About five years ago I was asked to write some music for an album aimed at TV spots. Each rack was to be full of character, weird sounds, and all manner of stops.

One of those tracks just landed on a Halo trailer (gasp!)

I want to share with you exactly how I created the music; what I was thinking at the start and how I developed it into an entire piece of trailer (production) music.

I wrote a piece of music for a trailerized string quartet last year. It recently got used on the trailer for The Lost King.

As you know I am a huge fan of sharing, especially sharing my knowledge, experience, and process.

I am a huge fan of Marvel and the MCU. Marvel Studios has just released the trailer for Secret Invasion and I wanted to take a look at it and do a breakdown of the trailer music. 

It’s what I would do anyway as a matter of professional development and thought it would be cool to do it properly and share with you all.

In this episode I wanted to give you the most detailed breakdown of trailer hits and impacts so that you could better utilise these amazing tools in your music.

For a very long time I did not properly educate myself on hits & impacts thinking that they were "gimmicky". Little did I know I was missing one of the key ingredients to a great piece of cinematic music.

In today's episode I talk about the life of a creative person. What it can feel like when you are pursuing something intangible like art. This is a gentle reminder that the creative path can feel frustrating and lonely, but you are not alone. We are all in this together [teary high fives all round]

Hooray, the first episode of 'Ask Rich'.  In this episode I answer a question from one of my listeners called Rob.

He asks if I can explain how to leave a review of The Trailer Music Composer's Podcast and if I am planning on launching a TMS version of Pianobook - a place where members of our community can upload their own sample libraries to offer for free to the whole community.

I decided to launch this with my own free instrument, the Chamber Cello.

I know what you are thinking (well I assume at least),

"Is Rich really gonna do an entire episode about DRONES in music!?"

Yes, yes I am and for good reason. There are one of those things that often people completely overlook as they are pretty basic.

I would suggest otherwise. You need to be making some time to get to know your drones and to give them their own life and identity because if you do =you will reap the rewards later on down the line when your drone stems get cut to trailers!

I have even written a really detailed blog post covering all the important stuff about drones in music and how you can make them yourself and even give them some more life.

In today's episode, I answer a question I received from one of my awesome TMCP listeners (and TMS customers).

The question was simply, "How to I establish genres in trailer music?"

As this kind of covers two distinct areas of the job I decided to cover both in the episode.

As you know I love helping people with this output so that is exactly why I have started asking for questions to be submitted to me to answer on the show.

In this episode I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Christian Henson (@christianhensonmusic). An absolute legend of a man and a super nice dude! 

Once I got my initial fanboying out of the way Christian and I had a fascinating conversation about his earliest memories as a composer and how he got into the business, the origins of Spitfire audio, dealing with his anxiety and his "secret" to productivity.

I was incredibly honoured that Christian was so open and honest about his anxiety and hearing that one of the composers whom I look up to most has suffered from it too it was like a weight off my shoulders.

You will also be interested to hear that we both share similar ideas of what being "productive" looks like and how you can adapt that to your own life.

All this great stuff aside, I had a really fun chat and I know you guys are going to absolutely LOVE this episode!

I have been a working composer for almost 15 years now. I started in custom; it was exciting, it was fast paced, it was way out of my comfort zone. I LOVED IT.

Fast forward all those years and I am only now realising the effect that the custom way of life has effected me, not just as a composer but also as a human bean!

This episode is a bit of a self help for myself episode whilst also hoping that at least one of you will resonate with this struggle and hopefully it will help.

You know I love walkthroughs and you do too (I know you do). This one is a different one today. It's another trailerised "solo" violin track. This was one of thirty tracks I composed aimed at (pretty unashamedly) HBO promos, BBC dramas, and other thrillers alike.

In today’s episode I talk with composer Jon R. Mohr. Jon reached out to me on Instagram about coming on the show. He was keen to share his story of going from nothing to now writing for trailer publishers all whilst dealing with his speech impediment.

Jon is a cinematic composer and producer from Ohio, specializing in cinematic music ranging from film scores to epic trailer music. He is completely self-taught. He's written music for a variety of short films, as well as composed the soundtrack for the game TurBot on steam.

In this episode I walk you through my experience of recording strings and brass at Abbey Road Studios for an action adventure trailer music album.

As you can imagine I was super excited about this so I thought it would make an amazing podcast episode where I talked you through what was going through my head before and after the recording.

The great thing is that there were 6 clear lessons that have come out of this experience and I wanted to share them with you guys - my awesome listeners.

In this episode I talk to the award winning trailer music composer Kati Falk-Flores. Kati shared how she went from studying the French Horn (among other instruments) to learning the ropes of writing trailer music.

We talked a lot about the importance of a positive mental attitude and how it can help not only get you out of a funk but also lift those around you.

Kati Falk-Flores is a composer known for her start in trailer music. Her work has been recently featured in trailers like Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, the Xbox Series X trailer, and Finch.

Kati has additionally written music for advertising and sonic branding, choral and orchestral works, and just finished a film scoring project.

In today’s episode I walk you through the Trailer Music that was used in A Very British Scandal.

This was a bit of a double win for me as this track was a track that I wrote when teaching how to write Emotional Solo String pieces for the Protege Pro students.

I’m gonna be totally honest here, I still suffer from bouts of imposter syndrome and fears of it all falling apart (ie not winning any more trailers and everyone finding out that I am a fraud).

Not easy to admit but feels pretty good and hopefully helps you realise that that stuff doesn’t just go away.

So, winning this trailer with this track was the proof in the pudding that I needed to remind me that the stuff I am teaching is relevant and useful still.

This after all is one of the purposes for Protege’s existence; to teach people how to write in many different styles and to make each track ready for sync (sale).

I hope you get a lot out of this walkthrough, I always really enjoy doing them.

Hey Guys,

In today’s episode I talk to trailer music and video game composer Sigurd Jøhnk-Jensen.

A few months ago he reached out to me on Instagram to tell me about his journey.  I was so inspired by Sigurd’s story that I had to get him on the show. 

Sigurd is a composer and live musician. Having toured Europe multiple times most recently with Blindstone and Walter Trout. Music composition credits mainly in video games and trailers include; Killing Floor, Marvels Eternals House Of Gucci, Scream and many more.

This episode was such a joy to record. Sigurd has a very wise head on his shoulders and delivers some absolute gems when it comes to your mental health and balancing your work with your life.

I came away from this interview wanting to be more kind to myself and I think you will too.

In this episode I show you how I composed the track ‘Monument’ that was featured in the trailer for the Netflix show, Archive 81.

This track was one of the ten tracks written for Elephant Music’s album, Throat 4.

The focus of this album was to bring throat singing to the fore and let vocals replace the cello that had become so popular.

I sketched out the entire album using only my voice and then slowly replaced those parts with other instruments and we even got a throat singer in to really hammer home that sound.

I really enjoyed writing this album as it felt so fresh and exciting.

In this episode I talk about feeling like I had lost my passion for writing music and how I re-ignited my spark.

Recently, maybe even over the last couple of years, I have been feeling a bit meh about writing music.

I didn’t really want to openly admit it, especially on my show/blog, but as you know I think being open about these types of struggles we all face is incredibly important to keep the mental dialogue open.

I have felt like I have just been running through the motions.

It wasn’t until I had the help and advice of some of my colleagues and fellow composers that I realised that I needed to get myself excited about writing music again.

In this episode I show you what tools I used and how they can help you to get you excited about your creative process again.

I really do hope it helps.

In today’s episode I take you behind the scenes of a track of mine that was used in the trailer for Netflix’s special, Britney vs Spears.

The track was a track I wrote for a two album release from Mammoth. The albums were solely epic drum intros aimed at action comedy trailers.

The effect of each track was to give the editors percussive tracks that started small, gave them good cut points, and also supplied enough drive and impact to create enough drama for their trailers.

I really enjoyed writing all of these 20 tracks and as this track was one of the first I was really happy to see it land on this trailer. 

I am also a huge fan of Britney Spears, so doubly awesome really.

In this episode of the podcast I talk about why it’s important to use big trailer hits in your trailer music.

This goes back to something I am always saying to students, “Trailer music is about character, build, and impact”. Yes, you guessed it, these hits take you one step closer to getting that impact that you need.

Why do you even need impact? 

We are dealing with stories. These stories are usually set against a larger world. We as composers are representing these stories and struggles in our music so we also have to give the viewers/listeners a sense of these large tales. These big hits supply the sense of something bigger. Something larger than life.

I go into more detail about this and how you can even use hits to speed up your writing.

In this episode of the podcast I talk about “Pigeon-holing” your music.

I came across this notion (not for the first time) in some comments on Facebook. 

Now you all know how I feel about cynical/critical people. BUT, this comment sparked a thought that I should probably give my ‘two cents’ on this.

I think so many composers (people in general) are riddled with fear and anxiety about their abilities. The sad thing is that this fear is often masked by being overly critical of others, perhaps even being a tad too driven by an ego. 

I’m not standing on a pedestal saying how great I am because I have overcome my ego - I have not. I am saying that we need to keep ourselves in check by asking something like “am I reacting out of fear or out of love and excitement?”

I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast I am joined by not one, but two very special guests. The supervisor/composer duo Emma Middleton (@rubatomusic_uk) and Kiaran Scragg (@fortnowhere).

Together the two of them wrote the track featured on the teaser trailer of The Witcher Season 2. On the show they go into so much detail on how they wrote the track together, even down to the samples they recorded and the plugins on the mastering chain.

This interview was such an insight into the world of custom covers.

Here’s a little bit about Emma and Kiaran:

Emma is a trailer-specialist Music Supervisor. Off the back of in-house agency experience, she launched freelance (in the middle of the pandemic!) in 2021 and set up her company, ‘Rubato Music’ (with an ethos based around Rubato being her favourite musical term).

Emma was voted “Music Supervisor of the Year” in 2020 at AIM Sync and is both winner + nominee of Music & Sound Awards for her custom music supervision work on The Crown Season 3 trailer & Season 4 teaser. Also a composer, she occasionally jumps in and gets her hands dirty – recent work: a collaboration on “The Witcher” Season 2 Teaser Trailer. 

Kieran Scragg is the Creative Director of My Hart Canyon Music Ltd. In his twenties he toured the world and made albums with two bands and as a result had a history in tv and film sync before approaching the trailer world with songs used on Greys Anatomy and The Twilight Saga. 

Kieran’s signed to Pusher and has worked on trailers such as ‘Death on the Nile, The Crown S3 trailer and S4 teaser, The Many Saints of Newark, Dr Death and The Witcher S2 teaser. He lives in on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon and has two kids, two gerbils and a wife. He’s listened to Richard’s podcast for a number of years, usually whilst making his lunch so he’s very excited to be on it!

In this episode of the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast I got to chat with the freelance music supervisor, Emma Middleton (@rubatomusic_uk). 

In our conversation, Emma was so wonderfully transparent about all the aspects of music supervision and how she came to be in that role. This is gonna be such a helpful interview to listen to togive you a better understanding of how the trailer music world works.

Also a composer, she occasionally jumps in and gets her hands dirty – recent work: a collaboration on “The Witcher” Season 2 Teaser Trailer. 

Besides music, she's a self-proclaimed 'cat lady', and an avid gamer who's very excited for the HBO adaptation of The Last of Us to come out...

Emma enjoys discovering and applying unusual or unexpected tracks to experiment and have fun with the trailer form, whilst keeping a firm handle on the necessary pacing and intensity required for these campaigns.

Happy New Year Everyone - 2022 is here and what a way to kick it off (albeit it a little late) than to re-launch the Trailer Music Composer’s Podcast!?

You may have noticed that I took a little break from producing episodes for the show/site. I was simply following my own advice and giving myself some space for reflection and to avoid overwhelm whilst Vik and I launched the second year of Protege.

So what should you expect from the Trailer Music Composers’ Podcast this year?

Firstly I am not going to stray from the solo banter / monolog format we have all come to know and love. It gives me a reason to leave the house and enjoy the local woods whilst also getting to answer some of your burning questions about Trailer Music.

Secondly I have lots of very exciting guests lined up to join me on the show and give you all some super awesome insights into the world of Trailer Music.

The Trailer Music School is Changing

I’m also going to take this opportunity to tell you that the Trailer Music School is going through some changes. It’s basically becoming a teenager. It's so different.

Not that I need to explain the inner workings of the business BUT the courses are being migrated off of wordpress and onto another platform.

Fear not wonderful customers, your access is safe. Simply follow this password reset link to access your courses on the new platform.

All New Inventive Instruments Are Here…

I have been busy producing a load of new instruments for my own use. I have used these new instruments on all of the latest Elephant Music releases and now I am going to be releasing them to the public.

As you know I launched this company a few years ago but let it take a back seat whilst I worked on the TMS and Protege (and my writing of course). 

I felt kind of bad for myself putting all that time into these products and then just leaving them on my own hard drive to only be used by me. As you know I believe that we should be sharing what we do with the world and seeing it as a kind of service.

So, I decided to get all my Inventive Instruments ready and put them in a bundle of joy. 

There are 10 previously unreleased Kontakt instruments in the bundle and, well, I think it’s totally awesome. Of course I would though right!?

I will keep you posted when this is ready.

Trailer Music Courses

I have decided to move the courses to a new, sleeker platform. The courses are the same except now it’s easier to get hold of them. You can check out the new shop here.

So nice to be back and can’t wait to get stuck into this year’s content.

In this episode I answer the question "how do I know if my music is good enough?"This is a huge deal to lots of people as it can often get shrouded by your inner critic, so you may naturally find it hard to distinguish a "good" from "bad" track.I like to think I answered this in this episode. I reckon my answer was good enough ;)To listen and read a full transcript, click here.https://thetrailermusicschool.com

When I started out I actually lost jobs because my samples didn't sound "good" enough. Which sucked. Obviously.This, however, led me to falsely believe that getting more and better samples would make my work better.This is a challenging episode for me as I, like most of you, feel mildly obsessed with collecting sample libraries. And I ask the question,"Do I actually need all these sounds at my disposal or are they making me less creative in my musical choices?"To listen and read a full transcript, click here.https://thetrailermusicschool.com

In this episode I give you simple and effective tips to use to create time to make your music, even if you don't have any.I started out as music being my 'side hustle'. I would work to pay the bills during the day and come home and write my music in any free moment I could.I created time to write.And I did it as often as I possibly could. Little and often being the mantra of the moment.To listen and read a full transcript, click here.For courses on trailer music:https://thetrailermusicschool.com

In this episode I cover a question I got from one of my students, which was; "Why is "Done" better than "Perfect"?"The reason they asked me this is because I say this quite a lot in my course videos. As a way to alleviate stress and worry about my cue not being good enough I would just tell myself to get the cue finished and to not worry about it being "perfect".Perfection is an ever-changing ideal. Over the years of working as a creative professional I have found that one day I could think that a track was "perfect" only to hear it a few days later and think it was "rubbish".Needless to say, I stopped chasing perfection and started chasing the journey.Without getting to "out there", I realised that the process of creating was the magic and the output twas the by-product. As long as the track felt "done" in a round about sort of way I would send it off. Set and forget type of thing.This is a must in my opinion. Learn to let go of perfection and embrace enjoying creating a track that has elements of awesome and is a little rough around the edges.IT doesn't mean your work is any less worthy, it just means you are saving time and stress and increasing output!To listen and read a full transcript, click here.

I have been working with aspiring trailer composers for over two years now. As a result, I have come to learn what it is that most of them do 'wrong' in their trailer cues.These mistakes, annoyingly for them, are incredibly easy to make (I still make one of the regularly). But, they are also very easy to resolve.If you are an aspiring trailer composer or even a pro who is now just curious then give the show a listen.I'd love to hear what you think and whether you agree or not. Also, let me know which mistakes you make too. The main reason for me doing this is obvs for me to help you get better. So listen with an open mind and tell your ego to bog off. Mistakes are there to help you improve and that's what this episode will hopefully do too.To listen and read a full transcript, click here.

Well, it's more like the five "guidelines" but "rules" sounds so much more definitive and generally more awesome doesn't it. If I were to say "the five guidelines of trailer music" it would sound more like a HR manual then a gripping podcast episode.That aside. These five rules appear this early on in my show because you will find that I talk about them quite a lot. Or at least they are incredibly relevant to the way I work and the way I encourage other people to work.If you don't agree with the rules and have your own then that's great. Well done. Again, I could possibly call these the "five anecdotal guidelines", but it's starting to sound more like a medical brochure now.These are essential to all trailer composers, in fact all creative people in general. So I would (obviously) suggest you give these a listen.To listen and read a full transcript, click here.https://thetrailermusicschool.com

This episode is actually a more general chat about what inspiration is and how you can better harness it to improve your ability to write on demand.I find a good analogy for inspiration is that it is a flow of energy; it's just a case of keeping your flow open (sounds gross when I put it like that).Immature jokes aside, if you can have a better understanding of your 'spark' or 'flow' or 'element' then the better chance you have of being in it/with it/in control of it etc.If you have ever suffered from "writer's block" then I reckon you need to give this a listen. It's pretty good!To listen and read a full transcript, click here.

I get asked this all the time:"How did you get into Trailer Music and how do you do it?"I love this question. Mostly because I LOVE my job and I love talking about it. Hence me starting this podcast I guess. So I thought I would kick the podcast off with my story of how I got into writing trailer music.It's one of those 'I didn't choose to get into it' type of stories. BUT, once I was in, I loved it.Writing trailer music is amazing. You can be incredibly creative. You can earn a very good living. And you can work when you want for as long as you want. It's awesomeTo listen and read a full transcript, click here.
