About licensing epic music for trailers
Epic music does the heavy lifting in trailers.
Epic music is the sound of scale. Big drum hits, brass swells, riser layers, and the dramatic build the audience already knows is coming. It is the music of action and adventure movies, game launches, and franchise marketing, and it is the sound trailer editors reach for when the moment has to feel enormous.
GMP Music licenses epic tracks built for exactly that job. Nearly every title includes a full theme version, alternate versions with less instrumentation for the quieter first half of a trailer, and edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, and 15 seconds plus stingers, so the version your trailer needs usually already exists. The music is produced and recorded by accomplished composers in recording studios specifically for GMP Music, with the bombastic, intense, driving character that trailer work demands.
Licensing is clean and simple. One standard license covers nearly every use, including streaming, broadcast, social, and game marketing, so the same trailer can run across platforms without extra paperwork. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license: contact us with a request for quote and we will respond quickly with a license that meets your requirements. You have a big story to tell. We can help you tell it with music.
