And here’s a medley of Cinematic Adventure – this album, as you can guess, features a lot of epic and cinematic music!

You can buy the album on iTunes and Amazon. For licensing information, please visit the Megatrax website, the exclusive distributor of the Sound Adventures catalog.

With the amazing proliferation of music libraries, we find that for a lot of these publishers there is a larger need for quantity as opposed to quality”, Sound Adventures explains. “We have decided to set ourselves apart as a small boutique library with a focus on “cinematic music”. We still believe in creating music with extremely high production values by using our wonderful network of composers, engineers, editors and musicians, the incredible players of the Vienna Symphonic and other musicians of international caliber in Vienna and Los Angeles. We are also very proud to be to the first and only library in the world who have the Vienna Boys Choir in our catalog.  […] Another new Sound Adventures concept is, that we want to offer a new depth in flexibility for the creative process of applying our music to images.”

The recording sessions

Epic Trailers (Volume 01), Mystical Phenomena (Volume 03), A Celestial Odyssey (Volume 04), and Cinema Tech (Volume 05) were composed and produced by Thomas Zbornik and Timo Spekkens. Cinematic Identity (Volume 02) and Cinematic Adventure (Volume 06) were composed by Christian Kardeis and Gerrit Wunder.

“Christian Kardeis is a wonderful composer with a very unique approach in the “visual sense” of the music he writes. It was very exciting to have Christian on board with us and his rich compositional skills which are so complimentary to this collection of new music. […] Gerrit Wunder, who with his musical skills, created the perfect movie score for our sixth release, Cinematic Adventure. This album was recorded and produced in Vienna, and Los Angeles.”
