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

It’s something I’m interested in getting into in the future, though rn my time is fairly stretched and my focus is elsewhere but i still want to get practice in before I push for it. How do you guys practice writing game music? I know it’s loop based and there’s in game triggers that start a certain track, so would a way to practice that be to make up a scene where you’ve got a foundation like “walking through a house” then something happens where “suspense” comes in then “action scene” etc? And it all relates to the foundation? Hope that made sense lol 😅

Hey everyone, just curious about what track from a band or an artist have you listened on repeat during the last days. I don't mean like "Yes, this is a track I quite like" repeat. I am talking "why tf do I have to listen to this track whenever I can, even if it's in between breaks of making music and in the night I wake up because the chorus runs on repeat in my mind 24/7" repeat! I go first 😅

Have you guys heard that NIN announced a festival for music composers? It's called Future Ruins and it happens in LA this November! Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are some or my favorite modern day composers so i am looking forward to this even if i dont attend this year!! Thoughts? Would anyone attend from this group? https://pitchfork.com/news/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-announce-new-future-ruins-music-festival/

Was wondering if everyone sends out batch introduction emails of 50+ or if they send out a few at a time? I sent out my first few (5) emails a couple of days ago but my list is at about 50. I just don’t want spam people lol *Additional question: when you email are you scheduling it for a specific time to land in their inbox at a certain time? Does it matter?
