Cinematic & Epic Trailers, Vol. 1 Album

Twelve cinematic cues, and the record splits into two halves that are separated by measurement rather than by taste. Eight are orchestral trailer and adventure writing; four are cinematic corporate beds — and those same four are, at once, the four quietest tracks on the album and the four with the least percussion in them. There is no overlap in either column, which means the album can be worked as two distinct tools: eight cues that carry a picture on their own, and four that were built to disappear under a voice. Seven of the twelve have a measured tempo and five run in free time, from a hundred and forty-four beats per minute down to eighty-three. Nine are in a major key and three in a minor. The extremes are wide: the longest is a three-minute-fifteen action trailer at half time, the shortest a sixty-eight-second presentation bed, and about four decibels of average level separate the loudest recording here from the quietest. Two tracks stand outside the pattern on purpose — a Celtic jig with fiddle and whistle, which is the most percussive thing on the record and shares no genre page with the other eleven, and a large orchestral piece with no steady beat at all, which moves on swells instead.
