Hi all (especially those of you that make your full income from library/production music),
I’m college-aged and new to the library music scene. I’ve been writing trailer music for a small library for about 6 months and although I haven’t gotten any placements yet, I’m starting to get a little burnt out writing in this genre, although I’m learning a ton from my publisher. I love trailer music and do want to keep getting better at it, BUT I’d like to branch out and compose something beyond braams and epic drum hits to keep myself sane.
I am interested in contemporary orchestral and neo-classical music. Stuff like olafur arnaulds, johan johansson, any Andy Blaney SF demo, etc. If I could compose music like that for libraries I would really enjoy it, but I’m not sure how much use my tracks would get. Perhaps music you’d find in nature documentary or something. I’m not sure.
My question is basically, could someone make a full time income writing library music in sort of a niche style such as neo-classical? I’m fairly new to all of this so I figured I’d reach out. Many thanks
