Dax Halvorsen

Music that sells the movie.

I write trailer music: the slow build, the rise, the hit that lands on the title card. Hybrid orchestra, choir, synths and a lot of designed sound, mixed loud and ready to cut. Every cue here is one-stop and ships in a full trailer build with stems and alt edits, so your editor can cut it the same day.

Music by Dax Halvorsen

Monuments (album)

Epic trailer music on a monumental scale.

  1. The Ember Throne — Rowan Ashby
  2. Banners Rising — Rowan Ashby
  3. Old Magic — Rowan Ashby
  4. Kingdom Come — Rowan Ashby

Ironclad (album)

Superhero-scale electronic writing. Orchestra under synths rather than the other way round.

  1. Ironclad — Cal Ridley
  2. Suit Up — Cal Ridley
  3. City Wide — Cal Ridley
  4. The Better Angel — Cal Ridley
  5. Impact Frame — Cal Ridley
  6. Stand Down — Cal Ridley

Sublevel (album)

Darker and slower than Nightshift. Dusty samples, live bass, hats that sit back rather than push.

  1. The Interview Room — James Everett Cole
  2. Surveillance — James Everett Cole
  3. Missing Hours — James Everett Cole
  4. Night Watch — James Everett Cole

Redline (album)

Hybrid action for chases, heists and anything with a countdown. Aggressive low end, clean tops, easy to cut against picture.

  1. Game Face — James Everett Cole
  2. City Lights — James Everett Cole
  3. Prime Time — James Everett Cole
  4. Neon Grid — James Everett Cole
