Historical and cultural research for scores
When composing for period films, documentaries, or culturally specific projects, research the music traditions, instruments, and sonic palette appropriate for the setting.
I'm scoring a film set in 1920s Shanghai. Research the instruments, musical styles, and cultural influences that would have been heard in that setting.
Research compiled: Shanghai 1920s was a fusion of traditional Chinese instruments (erhu, pipa, guzheng) with Western jazz infiltrating dance halls. The "Shidaiqu" style blended Chinese melody with Western brass and piano. Cultural context: shikumen neighborhoods, Green Gang connections shaped the underground music scene. Specific instruments and scales documented with audio references listed.

Current demand trends: "Hopeful/uplifting" indie pop dominating TV trailers. "Dark electronic with orchestral layers" trending in streaming thriller and crime drama. Acoustic folk with "nostalgic" feel strong for retail and airline placements. Avoid heavy rock — demand flat. Recommend expanding hopeful orchestral and lo-fi electronic catalogs.
