Since day one, Really Slow Motion managed to find their place among very high-end companies, trying to offer our thing, without paying too much attention of what others are doing, we try to do our own thing. You know, this industry has very established members, the fact that anybody gets in and makes business straight away is highly surprising already. That is a very easy question to answer!! EVERYTHING has been surprising. What was the most positively surprising thing that happened within the last 1 ½ years? And then there are the fans… It´s unbelievable the response from the fanbase, and I can´t believe we were able to grow any fanbase and so fast, but social networks and YouTube can make wonders nowadays and I have no words to thank you all for the support and love you are showing every day. It´s a great feeling when you get a call from a Major studio asking you for your catalog, or a big trailer house requesting your most recent draft of music. They transmit to me their needs and from then on it´s a matter of getting starting the engines and deliver. The most enjoyable part is talking to the clients, communicating with them directly. You have to deal with the business side of things that, in all honesty, I would have never thought it would be so huge and time consuming yet fun. As you may imagine, this industry is not all about music and being creative. Although the creative part of the business is based in collaborations with other composers and producers and with Rain Ventsel helping me out with supervision. Since the very beginning up until now, I´m still the only official employee of the company. I was a session guitarist before taking off with this venture but I had the determination to succeed. Where do you see yourself as the Creative Director in it?Īgus González-Lancharro explaining how to play the guitar.Īs a Creative Director of a company like this your connection to the industry is total in so many ways, and it wasn´t easy since I did not have any connections nor background whatsoever in the industry when I decided to start with this. The plan seems to be working out so far but still very long way to go. It was a big gamble and leap of faith back then. I wanted to be involved in big movies without having to deal with the short film and low budgets business first because we all need to pay bills, right? I thought that if I could get noticed in the trailer business new opportunities could follow, and that´s the current scenario. Also, creating a trailer music company I could blend my 2 big passions in life: Music and Films. I had music background as well as manager skills thanks to my 7 years experience editor-in-chief for a publishing company of instrumentalist´s magazines. I could listen to all the greats in only one channel: Two Steps From Hell, audiomachine, Immediate, X-Ray Dog… I thought that if I could think deeply on how to set up such company with the right strategy then I could have a real shot at it. Like 18 months ago, I randomly bumped into one of those YouTube channels that promote trailer music. Why did you start the company and who was involved in the process? For the last 6 years they have been performing as anybody did before but obviously sportsmen age too and there´s no way around it. However, you could see the disaster coming since some of the key players have been dropping their game terribly for the last few months. Well, unfortunately I am not following it too much since it´s happening during my 6 weeks business trip through US and Canada and it´s becoming difficult to coordinate with some football (or soccer!) watching. Enjoy!īeing Spaniard – how did you like the World Cup so far? Therefore we thought it’s time to fill that gap speaking to Agus González-Lancharro, founder and Creative Director of Really Slow Motion. We already covered some of Really Slow Motion’s steps in a couple of articles and yet we never introduced you really to the person holding the strings behind this machine of epicness. After one hell of a year and even more rewarding months in 2014, Really Slow Motion gave its fans what they were longing for: A public release called Fiery the Angels Rose, available on ITunes and CDBaby consisting of 17 dark and powerful tracks including two that will be mentioned below: SHREDDER and GENDER.
