These companies - known as trailer music libraries - emerged in the 1990s after studios began screening trailers for focus groups, creating the need for music earlier and faster in the marketing campaign. Sometimes a trailer features music from a previously released film for example, music from Michael Bay’s “The Island” appeared in an"Avatar” trailer, and an orchestral version of"Requiem for a Dream” melodies was in the preview for"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.”īut for many trailers, the soundtrack is composed by a company devoted to music for movie advertising. That’s rarely the case, because a film’s score is one of the last elements completed in postproduction. Two Steps From Hell, which they founded in 2006, is devoted to music for movie trailers.Ī common misconception is that the music in trailers is from the film itself.
The brawny musicians exude the fierce intensity prevalent in much of their music - until they suddenly get off-beat and let out loud laughs that reveal just how much fun this is for them.īergersen and Phoenix revel in the world of music for movies, but not in the same way as film score maestros like Hans Zimmer and John Williams. In a recording studio on Sunset Boulevard, Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix are banging on two giant taiko drums built especially for their company, Two Steps From Hell.
