Real Life TV Usage of Trailer Music
Hey everyone, just checked my Trqk account and found that Final Eclipse from my latest Epic Score album was used in the show WWE Night of the Champions. However, the main reason why I am sharing this here: It is a good example on how they made use of the gaps and why the sound design/signature sounds are really important. Note the following: 00:13 - Using the gap to deliver the first message "Even better!" 00:40 - Using another gap later in the track for the final message "Just stop me!" 00:46 - the distorted higher roar and the last ping sound Sorry for the bad video quality, but these snippets are always included in Trqk to let you actually watch the scene your music has been used for. Always make sure to have: - an easy to digest melody - act1 - act2 - act3 - separated by gaps (build-up could vary) - sound design or sense making signature sounds/sound patterns - a clear focus on ONE SINGLE SENSE-MAKING IDEA

I love that this was used for a WWE spot. I guess it goes to show that the goal of trailers is really to build anticipation of what's to come next and leave the listener with the feeling of, "what's going to happen?"
