Just recently, renowned trailer music publishing company Colossal Trailer Music released a new compilation album called Zeitgeist. Featuring a bunch of international talent, Zeitgeist offers a collection of dark and edgy hybrid orchestral sound-design cues.
Seizing on the sound of recent video game releases like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Zeitgeist provides a mixture of aggressive synth elements, heroic string and brass arrangements as well as brooding and dramatic tonal backgrounds.
In fact, the album art, which is created by composer and graphic artist Ryo Ishido, heavily resembles the visual style of the Metal Gear Solid franchise which can be taken as a hint towards what’s inside, I guess.
Zeitgeist features a roster of high profile trailer music composers, including Nick Road, Cody Still, Ciaran Birch, Kevin Sargent, Daniel Beijbom, Mattia Turzo, Joshua Crispin (Generdyn), Sergey Azbel, Beyond Awakening (feat. Red Moth), Christoph Allerstorfer, Martin Hasseldam, Martin Cap, Kyle Booth, and Hybrid Chronicles – most of which already placed their tracks in AAA Hollywood blockbuster and video game campaigns.
I was lucky enough to work alongside Sergey (Azbel) on our track “The Watchers”. He wrote nearly the whole track and I added some hits, risers and some choir – he absolutely crushed it! I think people are going to love Zeitgeist!
