Start building a larger than life sound with Randon Purcell's trailer music course Hybrid Orchestral Composition and Sound.
Hybrid orchestral music was and still is one of the most demanded styles by today's music publishers. From production music, to film and trailer music, there is no way around it. Epic orchestral compositions paired with earth shattering sound fx and synths - it's simply one of these styles every composer should know about.
Master The Score teamed up with non other than Brand X in-house composer Randon Purcell wo already helped hundreds of students in crafting their trailer music skills. In this massive trailer music course Randon walks you through everything you need to know to produce the next hybrid orchestral trailer hit. His composition and production skills earned him placements like Kong vs Godzilla, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty and many more.
To give our students the best possible learning experience we made sure to include music that was actually used in big campaigns. Besides hours of fundamental training and live composing, Randon walks you though his track "Chaos Theory" which was used in the campaign for "World of Warcraft".
This course is for you if …
if you're ready to craft cutting-edge, earth-shattering orchestral pieces worthy of a blockbuster movie
if you're ready to learn from an industry expert and finally create that professional, punchy, modern cinematic trailer sound you've always wanted
if you're eager to learn in a unique, modern, and highly practical way, all while enjoying immediate results

The course is divided into 6 sections:
The first section focuses on some of the fundamentals of hybrid orchestral trailers. Randon discusses the different acts of a trailer, the general structure and length for each of the acts, and some best practices to help make your music easier for a trailer editor to use. Finally he explores some helpful tips and ideas for each of the 4 acts.
This section will make sure you have a strong fundamental understanding of all the concepts Randon is going to build upon. After this section you are well prepared for the more advanced concepts in later sections.
Randon is often asked what libraries and instruments he likes to use for hybrid orchestral music. With so many options out there on the market, it can be overwhelming and difficult to choose. In this section, Randon will discuss a number of his favorite instruments for this style of writing, complete with some examples of how they sound and how he likes to use them. Randon explores percussion libraries, brass libraries, string libraries, synths, trailer FX and some favorite audio processors. He teaches his students how to achieve a huge and impactful sound by layering different instruments and effects.
This section will equip you with everything necessary to create largen than life tracks.
After building the strong fundamentals in the previous lessons, section 3 is where the fun really begins.
Randon jumps right into action by guiding you through different composing workshops. He dives deep into writing for the various instrument and fx groups such as strings, brass, percussion, synths and more.
By following Randon as he composes live and unscripted, you will gain a deep understanding on how to write for the different orchestral sections.
Randon made sure to include all the midi files for his students to study, to provide even deeper insights on how he approaches orchestral writing.
To finish of this section Randon explores the writing of Ostinati. As Ostinati are so common and such a powerful tool, this workshop will make sure you are well equipped with techniques on how to write them.
In this section students will put everything into practice. Randon creates many different chord progressions and starts to build on them by adding percussion, brass, strings, synths and fx.
The goal of this section is to make students familiar with a simple workflow that transforms every chord progression into larger than life wall of sounds in no time.
By following Randon and completing the assignments, students will take advantage of a highly practical learning experience.
Building on all previous sections and especially the individual workshops, Randon dedicates section 4 on composing a complete hybrid orchestral track from beginning to end.
Students follow Randon in realtime, composing his next trailer hit, while absorbing every detail of the production process. This makes sure they will gain a deep understanding of a proper workflow and all the compositional aspects of producing hybrid orchestral music.
Randon starts out by sketching the piece and explaining his thought process. Based on this sketch Randon then starts producing the different acts of his piece. To finish up this wonderful section Randon mixies his complete track so that it can be presented to major publishers.
In section 5, Randon dives into his track, “Chaos Theory”, published by Exodus Music. This track has been used in World of Warcraft advertising campaigns and is definitely more of a standard trailer format for an action-based hybrid orchestral piece.
Randon starts with an overall analysis of the track and follows up with an exploration of each of the acts, breaking them down into each of the instrument groups and showing examples of layering and composition for each group.
Randon then walks you through a second track called “Black Mirror”, published by InfraSound Trailer Music. This track would fall into the "slow burn" side of hybrid orchestral music, which can be very different from your typical action hybrid orchestral trailer.
In a last bonus deep dive video, Randon analyzes the music used for the course introduction itself. Strings, brass, percussion, FX all explored in detail.

"Brilliant course. The choice of topics is very wide and I really like the balance of technical and creative aspects. Being an experienced composer and producer, it was still great to brush up on the familiar while still learning a ton of great stuff. So many complex techniques explained in such a nice, accessible way. Randon's speech is very clear and his explanations are simple to understand. This course is really worth taking!"

'I enjoyed every bit of this course. Especially with Randon as an experienced composer you get to know how to produce hybrid trailer music in a professional way! Randon explains everything detailed and shows his own approaches on his own work. The new ,,compositional building block“ is simply incredible!
I‘ve been producing Epic Music for several years but this course gave me many new ideas and insights that helped me to give my compositions a better signature touch! I recommend this course not only for beginners, but also for experienced composers, who will definitely learn new and helpfull techniques!'

'Going into Randon's Hybrid Orchestral course, I was hoping it would help me get to another level in terms of creating powerful hybrid orchestral sound, and it definitely delivered. The core of it is building massive trailer tracks from start to finish - from creating a template, getting the structure right, choosing the right instruments and effects, composing efficiently for this style to quick mixing and mastering. On top of that, Randon was very helpful and concrete with the feedback on my own tracks. This course helped me improve, find focus and the right workflow to create every day!'
Scott Leach

"When I found out that Randon would be releasing a Hybrid Orchestral course, I knew I had to jump on it. I have been a huge fan of his cues and also of Fallout Music Group sample libraries, so I accurately knew that I would be learning some amazing skills. I know that layering is a huge part of hybrid music, but the workshops Randon includes in the course has helped me better understand what I’ve been missing to get those huge epic sounds. I cannot wait to start improving on some tracks that I’ve been working on!"
Rémi Croussette

Compared to other courses I have taken, the MTS hybrid orchestral trailer music course is extremely well laid out and presented. It has a great structure, detailed information and allows you to ask questions and get feedback from a community message board.
Before starting the course I was looking for a better workflow to compose faster and more consistently without losing that creative spark. The Hybrid Orchestral Trailer Music course has helped me immensely in this regard.
Randon lays out the principals of trailer music, walks you through how to compose the different sections, and explains how each instrument plays an important role in creating the emotional wall of sound found in trailer music. He then builds an entire track from start to finish, showcasing techniques and creative skills, that have become invaluable to my composing.
Highly recommended!
