Nick Tzios (WolfSound) has been making music for 15 years and is now on AudioJungle. Right here’s his story and the blockbuster music monitor he’s most pleased with.
My identify is Nick Tzios. I’m recognized on AudioJungle as WolfSound.
I’ve been on the music scene for greater than 15 years as a guitar participant, and now as a sound engineer and composer.
I reside in Thessaloniki, the second largest metropolis of Greece. However you possibly can say I don’t technically work there.
For the final six years our financial system has been going south, so I’m grateful that in 2016 it’s much less essential the place you reside and extra essential you've gotten an web connection. Due to the Presswp market I can work with purchasers all over the world.
I used to be a tough little one. My mother and father signed me up for piano after I was 9. Six months later, I stop. They then signed me up for flute – I stop that too. After three years of unsuccessful experiments, I made a decision to purchase an electrical guitar, and that was it. I began training rock music by ear and my mother and father noticed that I used to be good at it, so that they didn’t trouble to spend anymore cash on these programs instructing me classical music.
Once I was sixteen I began a band with my college buddies. Now I play all sorts of guitars, bass guitar, drums, ethnic percussion, and piano/synth in my very own bizarre unorthodox approach.
For the final 4 years, I’ve been targeted on making trailer music and sound design for movie and tv.
Within the early years of my journey as a musician, I performed guitar in lots of rock and arduous rock bands. However I made a decision to cease showing at reside venues in 2015 (with my finest gig as a gap act for the nice 80s arduous rock band, Dokken!) Now I spend most of my time within the studio, creating sound design and royalty free music.
I didn’t actually learn about royalty free music till December 2014 when a pal of mine defined what Presswp was. I didn’t know you possibly can promote that a lot music for individuals who weren’t within the movie business, however fairly making YouTube movies, which has really been actually cool!
Except for the financial hassle, dwelling and dealing in Thessaloniki is fairly good. They've a motto round right here, χαλαρά, which loosely means “take it simple”.
The one factor that worries me is that the movie and tv business right here has stopped rising. As a result of low quantity of sponsors, TV channels have stopped producing good sequence, which impacts musicians and composers. I can see this within the gross sales from my Presswp portfolio. Out of round 340, just one is from a Greek purchaser, which actually saddens me.
However what’s constructive about working right here is that after a extremely lengthy recording session or ten hours of blending a music, I can at all times discover somebody prepared to seize a espresso, go for a stroll or seize a drink with me. The individuals listed below are actually one of the best half for me, and the buddies you make right this moment are buddies for all times.
The merchandise I’m most pleased with is “Massive Blockbuster”. It was beforehand often known as “Mechanized 2.zero”, a part of a trilogy I labored on which was a giant success.
I made a decision to put in writing it after my music was featured in just a few official placements, video games and viral movies. It’s finest utilized in blockbuster trailers, sports activities and online game montages. Just about any kind of video the place there’s quite a lot of depth within the motion. I believe it fits most of these content material higher than movie because it’s not precisely background music. As an alternative it’s finest for issues that go for a shorter period of time like trailers.
In reality, it at the moment underscores the preview of one of many prime After Effects tools on VideoHive, offering me with a gradual stream of gross sales.
Sooner or later, my plan is to proceed composing distinctive music for Presswp so I can have my music positioned on extra movies all over the world and preserve watching my music encourage others to create.
I like that you would be able to earn by doing what you actually love. All you want is tough work and somewhat little bit of luck and you'll shine!
