Hey guys, here is a new challenge! I tried to set it up like the typical gaming script that you get from game developers but made it a bit more "hardcore". Let's say it's a very picky client but VERY conversational when it comes to questions! The message here is to follow the requirements 100000% but ask if anything is unclear, even though it is the most stupid thing to ask! - Not longer than 1:30 min. Doesn't have to be exactly 1:30 min, a few seconds less is OK - Looped - File format - 48Khz, 24bit wav - Orchestral track in the style of Nobuo Uematsu - Style: 100% Orchestral - Lead melody instrument: String Section - Tempo: mid to fast Scenario: During this part of the game the party of heroes travels through the world via airship. Since the party is travelling very often, we will hear this track quite a few times during a game session. Make sure it sounds fantastic, the mood should support the uplifting and positive feeling of travelling through air. It should also strongly support the feeling of ultimate freedom and should give the player the feeling they can go wherever they want. There is no dialogue while travelling so you are free to play with STRONG melodies. Again, keep in mind that players will hear this track very often, so avoid anything that sounds too annoying, repetive and stressful. We want pure joy and freedom! We don't want the typical background track of 2-3 instruments and solo strings. We want a bit of a fuller arrangement. How you do it, doesn't matter as long as it sounds great and supports the scene! Find a picture attached for inspiration. We need this track by the end of August.

Every once in a while, someone in our community shares a journey that perfectly captures what this whole thing is about. That’s exactly what happened when I sat down with Matt, who just a couple of years ago was stuck — struggling to break into the trailer music world, doubting himself, and unsure where to go next. In his words: “I had the music... but no plan. No idea where to send it, who to talk to, or how to even approach people. It felt like shouting into the void.” But things did change. Matt went from working completely alone to: - Signing with three trailer music libraries (including ones doing Marvel and AAA placements) - Releasing a full trailer album - Writing custom tracks that are now being pitched to major campaigns - Finally getting to work on trailerized pop song arrangements — a dream of his from the start - All of this happened once he stopped working in isolation and started building a real strategy, accountability, and support system around his music career. 🎥 In this video, Matt talks about: - The moment everything began to shift - How real feedback, live calls, and step-by-step planning helped - And why the echo chamber so many composers are trapped in is the real creativity killer - Watch the full interview in the attached video. If you’re curious about the program Matt is talking about — the one that gave him the tools, clarity, and support to finally break through — you can check it out here: 👉 Learn more about the Audio Artist Rise Program There’s no magic bullet. But there is a clear path forward — and a group of people who have your back. ✌️ Alex
