Showreel: Star Wars Custom Trailer Music / Blakus

During 2019, I had the privilege of creating a number of custom trailer music cues for Star Wars universe products. This video contains excerpts of some of these. Looking forward to many more exciting projects in 2020/2021!

[@Trembly]

I FRICKIN KNEW YOU DID THE RISE OF SKYWALKER TRAILER MUSIC! "I had a feeling"

[@FalconCinematics]

"..Long have I waited.." You've done an incredible year of work Blakus. Well done, you're a gift to the star wars fandom

[@KingSgamingYouTube]

0:28 is the music i've been searching for since the release of the trailer! Thank you so much for this blakus!

[@obikami263]

So your the amazing person who's music gave me chills. And maybe made me cry once or twice. Btw the SWBF2 one is my favourite

[@TerraStone]

Oh, its beautiful! Honestly your work is some of the best trailer music I have heard in the past decade, and I mean that!

[@fredwordsmith]

I watch and listen the Rise of Skywalker theme when I am feeling particularly down, which has been a lot in 2020. It brings me to tears, in the best possible way. Thank you for your gift and sharing it with us. It lifts up more people than you can imagine.

[@Iegacyfilm]

A master of his craft. A magician. Blakus.

[@joshualisciarelli6960]

Bro I had no Idea you made this music! It actually brought me to tears. I loved all of it. The Rise of Skywalker music I listened to non-stop for weeks. You are amazing. Thank you

[@Enderstro420]

Same

[@AlexDallas226]

Absolutely incredible stuff, especially that rendition of “Luke and Leia”, I hadn’t heard that one before! Thank you so much for sharing this with us

[@StewDog]

is there any way we can crowdfund so these masterpieces can finally be released

[@markofgaming8111]

The Star Wars theme arrangement during the Rise of Skywalker and Battlefront II trailers is so beautiful, I get chills every time I listen. I only wish it were longer!

[@ancientdreams8174]

Oh gosh man..wonderful music.

[@apexkilo8242]

Will you ever put up the Star Wars BattleFront 2 The Rise Of Skywalker trailer music and The Rise Of Skywalker movie trailer music up as seperate videos?

[@soundwelt1428]

Blakus is the Yoda of a mind blowing and jaw dropping orchestral sound. The amount of skill it takes to put out something so well balanced in orchestration and mixing is well beyond my reach. His incredibly creative approach towards existing music needs no comment for anyone with two healthy ears to recognize it way beyond an ordinary "cover" or "imitation" of a song or a style. For me that is the true meaning/purpose of doing a cover. What a composer! Well done and congratulations for winning "Best Original Score" for a trailer. More than deserved 👍

[@Blakus]

That’s kind of you, thank you 😃

[@edguardson2000]

This here is a masterpiece. I am having a goosebumps everytime 0:27 kicks in. Very nice work Blakus and may the force be with you. Always.

[@soyeduardo_28]

Blakus ! The Rise of Skywalker trailer full theme please! Its fantastic!

[@thethreeedgedsword7253]

This did more honor to Star Wars than all Disney’s work combined. It gives me the feels. Thank you. Listened to it hundreds of times now

[@dmacbass]

Now that John Williams is retired, it's time for Disney to make the right decision: Blakus is the composer for all future Star Wars movies. Anything else would be disappointing.

[@ScoobDrew]

Your music in the trailer gave me more feels than the entire movie did.

[@zaharishtonov]

Ridiculously good composition skills, Blake! I hope you have time to stream yourself in action sometime soon this year. Just like the old days... I've learned so much from you! Cheers!

[@TomHawkComposer]

Agreed!

[@mi_man_kc]

I still remember the day saying that "John Williams isn't going to be around for forever... and you've got the passion for this..." and you laughed it off... ;) Fantastic job. I should have known it was you when I got chills watching the TROS trailer. Keep on rockin it out!

[@flyte707]

Loved the kotor trailer music

[@m_jasionowski]

Just insane.... The best of the trailer of "rise of skywalker" is this music... gives me goose bumps..

[@rene0115]

is the best star war music i ever heard

[@thezacmurphy]

glad I found this. Thank you for the trailer music for ROS. Tears, emotions, and happiness. Glad I can say thank you to the correct person ❤️

[@herios40]

your work is sublime. You took the Star wars saga to a new world with your compositions and it is a real crime for EA not to put your work forward for free listening (or to sell it for listening) as they really deserve it and that we ask only that ! I deeply and sincerely hope that one day this will change for your recognition and your merit, and for our greatest happiness to all the fans. All the best for what coming in the future. :)

[@GavinPotter]

Goosebumps at 0:28 right there, I think I prefer this to the original. Really awesome.

[@Blakus]

Nothing beats the original, but hearing the theme in a new context is always fun, right! Thanks Gavin.

[@neymarjr_.]

Incredible

[@Naethunn]

May the force be with you

[@terranwar]

Those trumpets give me energy.

[@elec1]

If anyone is ready for stepping in the big footprints of all the soundtrack masters, then you are! I'm very locking forward to see you as a composer for whole movies. Like i said last time: Your composition can transport so much more energy and drama then any original soundtrack. Please never stop!

[@Twist_S]

your music was the best thing to come out of The Rise Of Skywalker

[@Xashe_]

OH MY GOD. You're the guy who made all of this! I've been wanting the official music for ages. The BF2 TROS and the actual TROS trailer music is definitely my favourite you've done. But the "Cal's Mission" trailer music is my 3rd favourite. And I loved the Battlefield 5 trailer music you did.

[@Nielsen.Brian.P]

You honor Mr. Williams work by what you write and make your own - this compilation is an unreal flex of your astonishing skills - Especially what was used in the SW:TRoS

[@xeratuul]

May the force be with you, always.

[@theformoverfunction]

They should've hired you for the avatar 2 teaser man, came back to hear what truly good trailer music sounds like

[@harmenschouten4370]

I love the wider arrangement of chords on the RISE theme, its almost Evangelical really. Divine use of chord progression. Congrats man

[@manganume]

Now, boys.. the force is not the plugins, but the brains. Use the force. And may the force be with you.. always, as with Master Jedi Blakus.

[@SylvieTV]

So it was you :) thanks for the ride on the emotions of this sonic rollercoaster

[@MrRykiOhyda]

trailer is 100 times better than movie itself :)

[@animationstation3044]

It's better than the visuals - love the key changes.

[@matteoferrarotto3210]

The one for Ep IX is really amazing! you're such an inspiration

[@TylerGrowOfficial]

Blakus, what an absolute delight. Thank you for being such a inspiration. Your work is truly masterful!

[@sc_art5408]

Cal’s mission has got to be my favorite track from you in 2019. Excellent job!

[@T98-r6u]

Thank you for your contribution to the starwars universe. These themes are amazing especially the work for Episode 9

[@MightyCousintube-fg4jf]

Good music for the High republic era saga

[@PianistFishermanGuy]

Absolutely astonishing, as always! I never failed to be amazed at the excellence of your work! You have a wonderful gift. Please continue to share it with us!

[@LuisHumanoide]

Amazing. This past year you have surprised us with more than beautiful and wonderful works, many musicians will be inspired by your masterpieces to create beautiful works of music. We look forward to hearing what new music you will be making in the future

[@razzerraw1108]

Your work comes from the future, It'll be the year 2525 until your work becomes relevant , I'll see you till then :)

[@rayfilms1198]

this man the Master of music composer in the world, I wish I could be exactly like him, he is the best

[@DeveshSodha]

So proud of you man! Can't wait to see what you do this year!

[@TheLightningPirate]

Congrats on the busy year! Such incredible work. I have to admit I rolled my eyes the first time I heard the Rise of Skywalker 4 chord theme but it just functions too well. Maybe I'm just jealous ;)

[@turpakmusic]

Just wow... Awesome stuff here

[@Cloverful22]

Woah. Episode IX trailer music really stands out. Never heard a better Interpretation of the score. And I remember that I was dissapointed back then because it wasn't in the movie itself. I really hope you will get the opportunity to compose something for the next film. I'm sure we will be able to hear it the moment it happens. :)

[@JayKingIngram]

May the Force be with you. Always.

[@blankspace0000]

Holy shit that was you?!?!! That's incredible!

[@thomasschwab2210]

What the... You put this incredible Star Wars Theme to another Level... goosebumps all over ;-) Thanks for that

[@PlywoodFraternity]

He just gets it he gets star wars

[@BattlefrontFR]

Damn, that is so sick man, really well made !👌

[@phillipl2718]

That's so cool! I remember getting chills when I saw the trailer!

[@Rev_9898]

Such good music

[@Pax30001]

Wow!! I liked this custom trailer music! The first one, especially as i remember were it started in the main trailer! Very cool!! :)

[@SniperManfred]

Incredible.

[@RicoDerks]

Man... Amazing work Blake! Congratz!

[@SgtJelly]

Blake, you always send chills down my spine! I cannot wait for what you have in store for 2020! Any chance for a new stream this year? :)

[@kadenthehuman]

I flipping love this music

[@duanran007]

Just want to say a big THANK YOU to you , blakus!

[@Visarray]

Hey you were my brothers year three teacher, this is amazing your music is incredible!!

[@Jeerin_]

so you actually worked on the music for all of these trailers? I thought John Williams did. Also your music for the battlefront 2 trailer legitimately gave me goosebumps when I heard it and it made me feel so emotional as I saw all of the era's. especially when the trailer showed Luke, Han, and Leia; the music in that part made me feel so happy

[@Blakus]

Yes, I created the music for these trailers - of course using John Williams legendary themes! Glad you enjoy the trailers!

[@deafidue5535]

These deserve to be released on their own. A shame.

[@eXquisiteGaming110]

Dude please release an album of all the promotional Star Wars music you've made, some of this stuff is better than the movies !!!!

[@jamesglovecrazy]

You have amazing talent! 👍

[@brnzak]

Fckn amazing stuff, Blake!! Wanna duplicate the question, how about some streams in 2020? We miss! No streams for a year...

[@ruiseabra4080]

Just amazing ohhh mannnn :)!!!!!

[@moviekidtechlife]

Stunning work

[@TheGloriousLeader]

Great work!!! The transition in the RoS battlefront trailer was amazing.

[@TheCueTube]

Wow - goosebumps! Great stuff!

[@finchy0]

I KNEW IT WAS YOU WHO DID JEDI FALLEN ORDER MATERIAL

[@bridles100]

I wont lie to you Blake, i hadnt heard of you until the round table last night (no offense: my bad, not yours)....all i can say is fucking hell man, you are a BEAST. Subbed. VERY much subbed. What an animal! Holy shitballs! - excuse my french btw....just pumped up after this showreel! Whaaaaaat?!

[@Blakus]

Thanks for stopping by Sean! Appreciate the kind words!

[@jaketanner109]

I am sure it's been asked many times...but: Can you share a list of your current libraries to score these trailers? Much appreciated. ;) Sounds great!

[@artemkonoplin2143]

Wow! Congratulations, dude! Awesome work!

[@Fbnt2]

Its glorious

[@marcomiele]

Very, very, very beautiful !!! Nice Work !

[@Twist_S]

DUDE I LOVE YOU! YOUR MUSIC IS SO GOOD!

[@LMSNmusic]

[@vibinfrog6862]

Bro can u make a full version of the Leia and Luke theme

[@brianborella9972]

Brividi! 😍🤩😢

[@PaulCassidyOrchestrations]

Mind blowingly good!!

[@zaharishtonov]

Tell me about it! Sometimes I just forget these are samples... :)

[@DAGMAOfficial]

Amazing!

[@timhumphries7966]

You sir and ur talents are exactly what ive been looking for. We must talk soon.

[@Nineteen1900Hundred]

Your “Last Jedi Season” trailer is still the best.

[@charlesdanx8807]

Congrats bad boy. I can barely imagine all the hard work you put in there. It blows my ass off. I wish you the best for 2020. Don't forget to take a little time to rest... Maybe doing a little stream... :')

[@michaelkramer5804]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE work Blake!! As someone who has also had to thread the needle of composing Star Wars music with a modern touch, I know how tricky that is to achieve! But you make it look easy brother :-) Quick question...I’ve seen in your templates “SE Brass,” which all sound incredible. What library is that from? Keep up the great work man!

[@Blakus]

SE Brass are custom private samples made by Performance Samples. I do recommend Angry Brass Pro from them by the way!

[@EpicAdrian3D]

Amazing work. You've worked on some high value stuff I'm surprised more people don't know of you. I never knew who re-orchestrated the Battlefront 2 trailers but now i do. Well Done!

[@PeterLewysPreston]

Well done, Blake

[@Gibby8535]

Do You know if they will let you upload all the music you have made for trailers and other stuff?

[@Infinite_Ethan_03]

Can you upload the "Battlefront II - Celebration Edition" Trailer Music without the sound effects? If not, it’s fine.

[@chaImers]

i hope these reach spotify

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Lucasfilm should hire you. You 'get' Star Wars music.

[@grahpayy]

Please make an epic version of Across the Stars
