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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@Rade_2814]

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!

[@Iegacyfilm]

A master of his craft. A magician. Blakus.

[@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 😃

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ancientdreams8174]

Oh gosh man..wonderful music.

[@gianandrelubin]

i listen to this twice a week

[@rayfilmsmusic7538]

This is the best music i have ever heard in my life, and i can't believe that he was my year 3 teacher

[@Blakus]

I'm excited you're starting to make your own music! Keep going!

[@rayfilmsmusic7538]

@@Blakus Hey i need to talk to you about music matter is it alright that i get you email on one of my video so i can ask you something

[@djmace9029]

Holy cow that’s awesome

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 ❤️

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@ScoobDrew]

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

[@harmenschouten4370]

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

[@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!

[@TylerGrowOfficial]

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

[@xeratuul]

May the force be with you, always.

[@T98-r6u]

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

[@BattlefrontFR]

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

[@DeveshSodha]

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

[@StewDog]

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

[@sc_art5408]

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

[@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!

[@SylvieTV]

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

[@matteoferrarotto3210]

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

[@rene0115]

is the best star war music i ever heard

[@soyeduardo_28]

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

[@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.

[@thomasschwab2210]

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

[@Max_Garden]

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

[@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. :)

[@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 ;)

[@phillipl2718]

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

[@Pax30001]

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

[@razzerraw1108]

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

[@terranwar]

Those trumpets give me energy.

[@Naethunn]

May the force be with you

[@duanran007]

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

[@Twist_S]

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

[@rayfilms1198]

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

[@JayKingIngram]

May the Force be with you. Always.

[@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.

[@turpakmusic]

Just wow... Awesome stuff here

[@blankspace0000]

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

[@RicoDerks]

Man... Amazing work Blake! Congratz!

[@TheGloriousLeader]

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

[@MrRykiOhyda]

trailer is 100 times better than movie itself :)

[@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!

[@flyte707]

Loved the kotor trailer music

[@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? :)

[@animationstation3044]

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

[@PeterLewysPreston]

Well done, Blake

[@artemkonoplin2143]

Wow! Congratulations, dude! Awesome work!

[@Visarray]

[@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... :')

[@Rev_9898]

[@MightyCousintube-fg4jf]

Good music for the High republic era saga

[@moviekidtechlife]

[@brnzak]

[@SniperManfred]

[@jaketanner109]

[@vibinfrog6862]

[@HNfilms]

[@ruiseabra4080]
