For the last several bond films or so, I almost always take a stab at the unreleased teaser music.... figured now is as good of time as any to tackle the skyfall teaser music. It's not exact (and not meant to be).. but the hard edge vibe is definitely captured.

Yes, that is a bit of the infamous CR trailer music you're hearing in there, but everything else was done from the ground up (new guitar work, strings, and everything else). The main reason I chose to do this is to show that the CR trailer music is still relevant and, if tweaked, can be very effective. Feel free to use this in fan creations, I just ask to be credited and that you plug my website.


You can download this piece HERE

Sadly, this will probably be the last piece of bond music I do for a while. I recently acquired an agent (THE agent for video game composers actually), am swamped with paying work on several high profile gigs such as the Shadowgate remake and several Xbox titles, and have been brought on to score my first feature film . All good stuff..which accounts for my silence as of late.

I've also totally reworked my webpage, which I urge you guys to check out if you're interested in hearing my most recent work and keeping up with my current / future projects.

Congrats on the new career possibilities! You certainly deserve it

and that trailer music... fantastic! A great mix of old and new sound...

[DamnCoffee]

Brilliant! Amazing work!

[MattofSteel]

Terrific piece, Rich. And well done with the other side of things, too!

[DominicGreene]

Sounds great! The only thing I would critique is that I think the beats at the beginning should have been repeated throughout the whole song, and made to sound more like gunshots rather than drum beats.

Great job, though it'd be better if were in D minor like the trailer.

[michallo_w]

Impressive. Most impressive!

I'm thinking of using this Rich and remixing the trailer to Skyfall. I'll begin tonight, if you wouldn't mind me using it.

[Rich Douglas]

Thanks all!

Sure, feel free to use this in your trailer remix. I just ask to be credited.

Great news, Rich! Well done, you!

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Good job Rich! That's what we needed for the official trailers!

[Trevelyan 006]

Most enjoyable and very well put together! I'd have to agree, the subtle inclusion of the CR trailer music definitely did not take away from the piece at all.
Well done and best of luck with everything.

[Killmaster]

Another excellent piece of music, Rich! I am completely in awe of your abilities. Congratulations on your great news, even though it means that we'll be hearing less from you in the future. Continued success!!

The Names Harry.... Harry Fawkes.

This music is simply the best summer gift since, well, I must say - since the SKYFALL trailer itself.

Thanks Rich, and good luck.

We'll miss your work but I'm sure that like James Bond...You will be back!

[Harry Fawkes]

Just paid a visit to your website and the samples there are spectacular. Wonderful music mate. Thankyou for such an experience.

[Sparktank]

Nice work!
Do you have this in WAV/FLAC format?

A lossless format would be ideal for editing.
