Bergersen has said that the company was founded when they decided to release an album of music to the trailer editors, that each of them had written a great deal of music, and that they put it together into an album now known as Volume 1. He recalls that they initially released about 60 tracks, that it took a while before they got any work, and that eventually some editors started taking notice and decided to take a chance. A first album aimed at editors rather than listeners marks a different route to an audience. A company that began as a handover of finished music to editors was carried forward by the editors’ own decision to use it. Nick Phoenix, born in London and raised in America, was part of the birth of epic trailer music, writing with Music Junkies in the mid-1990s, and he was involved at the same time in producing virtual instrument libraries under the Quantum Leap brand for East West. He and Bergersen publicly released the album Invincible in 2010. A public album release in 2010 moved the music beyond the editors who first used it. A partner who built instrument libraries and a partner who wrote symphonic music joined two sides of the same craft. Thomas Bergersen began playing piano at the age of six, later moved into synths, computers and digital music, and progressed into writing symphonic music in his teens. He has a strong interest in ethnic music and unique music cultures, has learned many languages, and constantly moves around the world to study music culture and its influences. A composer who travels to study musical cultures brings a wider palette to his writing. His popular compositions with the company, such as “Heart of Courage,” “Victory,” “Strength of a Thousand Men,” “Protectors of the Earth,” “Impossible” and “Star Sky,” are credited with billions of views worldwide. Bergersen has said that with film music you are supporting the visuals, a story or a scene, while at the company they try to write orchestral music that stands on its own feet, which tends to be very suitable and functional when married to picture. He has also said that the company has grown from a music library for movie advertisement campaigns into a full-blown artist and band. Writing music that stands on its own and then finding that it fits pictures reverses the usual order in which film music is made.
