Cinematic & Epic Trailers, Vol. 2 Album

Twelve epic and trailer cues, and the mirror image of Volume 1: seven of these are in a minor key and five in a major, where that record ran nine major to three minor. The tempo band is narrower too — everything measured here sits between ninety-nine and a hundred and thirty-six beats per minute, against a spread of eighty-three to a hundred and forty-four on the first volume. Nine tracks have a measurable tempo and three run in free time, and those three are not chosen at random: they are also, exactly, the three least percussive recordings on the album. Nothing crosses between the two groups, so the record divides cleanly into what you can cut to a grid and what you cannot. Around that sit the two extremes. The longest piece is a three-and-a-half-minute fantasy score written for exploration rather than for a trailer, with almost no percussion at all and the darkest tone on the record; the shortest is a twenty-four-second dramatic hit that travels almost twice as far between quiet and loud as anything else here, and it is placed directly after the percussion build it was written to answer. Three tracks share G minor and three share D major, which is why long stretches of the album can run together without a key change getting in the way.
