My new flagship course designed to show you how to craft scary, spooky, creepy, unnerving, terrifying, jump-scare-worthy, brown-trouser inducing music
Make terrifying sounds perfect for all kinds of horror
Easily create a complete horror track from scratch (in multiple ways)
Understand what makes a successful horror track
Create stand-out horror tracks that combine unique sounds and scary atmospheres
Write simple yet effective horror arrangements for trailers, TV and film scores
Build minimal and impactful horror tracks without relying on a ton of channels
The Lodge - Official Trailer
One of my tracks was used throughout this trailer to create the wonderfully creepy "something bad is going to happen" vibes.
The Conjuring 2 - Official Trailer
My track was used for it's use of sound design in this trailer to not only make the trailer feel scary but also to pick out the "brown trouser" moments!
The Nun 2 - Official Trailer
One of my tracks was used to score the trailer for the Nun 2. A particularly good use of a track that was only subtly scary being paired well with visuals to really bring out the horror.
Truth or Dare - Film score
I score this indie horror project using all the techniques I show you in the course. From drones to clusters, tension devices to sound design.
NOTE: this is the current course content as of 18th October. Some titles may change and some things may be added but I thought it might be helpful to know what content you should expect.)

I started writing music for movie trailers in 2011. Then in 2017 I started teaching other people how to write music for trailers too.
Writing trailer music can be very daunting. On the one hand you have to write great ideas, often recorded yourself, then produce them to the highest possible standard. All from the comfort of your own studio. Or in my case, front room.
Learning to do this is tough, frustrating and sometimes gets you down. That's why I started creating courses. To help make writing music for trailers, ads, TV (and for fun) as simple and as straightforward as reading a book.

Yes, you do need to be able to use a DAW so you can follow along with the videos.
Nope, you can use whichever DAW you please as long as you know how to use it.
The wonderful thing about this, and all of my courses is that I try to steer clear of getting too deep into theory. You will be at an advantage if you know how to harmonise the major/minor scales but aside from that you won't need any theory.
I am so blessed to have had the amazing mixing and mastering engineer Toby Mason produce an hour-long masterclass in Trailer Music mixing and mastering. He shows you how to mix and master your music to a Hollywood standard within the course.
Of course not! What I can say is that of all the composers and producers who have taken this course, the ones who are getting work as trailer music composers are the ones who put the hours into their work. They also happen to be super nice people (industry secret there)
