“Trailerization” – How the Process Of Music Creation For Trailers Has Changed
Why is the phenomenon whereby classic songs are de-constructed and sound design and hybrid orchestral styles added to them SO popular? A recent example of this is the summer 2024 blockbuster Mad Max saga “Furiosa” using a “trailerized” version of the David Bowie classic "The Man Who Sold the World.”

Reps from some of the top Sync agencies like Bank Robber Music, Secret Road, Fine Gold Music, and Terrorbird examine the process of finding clientele and representing artists, labels and publishers directly for sync.
