Getting started with trailer music & holiday tracks reimagined!

In partnership with

The Rareform Rundown #42

Hello Friends,

Nathan here. Hope all is well in your world. This week, we’re diving into some exciting updates: new projects, news about SoundCloud’s artist subscription plan, reimagined holiday tunes, and more. Plus, I’m resharing a clip where I talk about breaking into trailer music—something I know many of you are curious about.

Before we jump into the updates, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out through social media, email, or LinkedIn forms about opportunities in music production, composition, and sound design—you’re officially on our radar!

As a small but focused shop, most of our energy is directed toward creative projects, so the level of interest we’ve received has been both humbling and overwhelming. While we’re thrilled by the response, it’s made it practically impossible to respond to every inquiry personally.

Rest assured, we have you in our system and can find you based on keywords, music styles and the type of work you do! We’ll reach out when the right project comes along that aligns with your skills and expertise. In the meantime, stay tuned here, as we regularly share updates about the types of music, talent and skills we’re looking for.

Please don’t get discouraged if you don’t hear back right away—keep creating, keep growing, and stay connected with us. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and look forward to collaborating with you when the time is right!

Now on to the rest of the rundown!

New projects + music we are looking for

PROJECTS

Once again, hyped to share that our tracks made it into The Challenge Season 40! This time, Episode 6 featured Bad Company by Le Castle Vania and One True God, and Episode 12 included Heaven by One True God. Shoutout to our friends at MTV for bringing us along for the ride!

My team and I are currently looking for…. Nothing! We are actually taking some time off for the Holidays! Well my team is, I’m prepping for the new year and some of the new ventures we have to announce in the forthcoming months! For an entrepreneur the grind never stops.

All of this being said, we always have our eyes peeled for artists, composers and music producers from all around the world as we often get requests for creators from specific regions (and deadlined within a couple hours). So if you haven’t yet, please drop your info into one of these forms so we get you locked into our system!

The holidays always bring those familiar songs we all know, but it’s cool to see how artists keep finding new ways to make them feel fresh. Whether it’s a classic version or something completely reimagined, there’s something about holiday music that just connects.

Much love friends, and happy holidays! I appreciate you being along for the ride and I can’t wait for you all to see what we have in store for 2025.
