Epic Music!

Post by SethAltair »

… or alternatively, trailer music. Apparently many in this guild are familiar with this genre that doesn't really get the love it deserves. Why is it that when you see a trailer, you can easily get excited about the film, but when you go to the movies, it is... blah. Well, imagine a mundane task, brushing your teeth or vacuuming. Boring? No worries, apply epic music!

Here are some of my all time favourites. Share your own!

In case not so familiar with the genre, I recommed

this might actually make me feel like vacuuming more often.

Also - would be perfect driving music, when you just want to push those slow muffertuckers in front of you out of the way.

Nice find!

Hmm so tell me, that first one you linked Seth, what Bioware game trailers has that been in? Don't recognize it.

I know Bioware has used Two Steps From Hell though, actually it's trough one of their trailers I found them :p specifically Heart of Courage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLdhFVzqt4) which was used in the launch trailer for Mass Effect 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5DL6jFXfhM) which is the best trailer I've ever seen due to it's composition and how well it all matches up with the most awesome trailer music ever! :p (was used in bunch of more trailers around the same time)

Not sure if this applies, but I think so. My all time favorite tv-show Battlestar Galactica has an amazing score, composed by the very talented Bear McCreary. Here's my favorite one, it always gets me on the verge of crying, cuz I find it so emotional.
