The same mindset, workflow, and delivery systems used on campaigns for HBO, Netflix, NFL, SON, Naughty Dog, ESPN, and other global brands -
👉🏼 Built on the PAINT THE NOISE (PTN) framework that’s landed 3,000+ placements in trailers, shows, ads, and games.
Why This Exists
I, Gilde, have been a working creative in Visual media for over 18 years.
built this playbook to train my team at Paint The Noise to deliver world-class music for trailers, series, games, and global campaigns.
It’s how we move from “cool tracks” to placements that stick.
This was never meant for release. But the industry is shifting fast, and more composers need to be operating at a placement-ready level , now.
What You’ll Get Inside
This isn’t theory. It’s a playbook you can actually use — backed by real-world experience and academic insight.
You’ll see the exact systems, mindset, and deliverables my team runs under real deadlines.
- Composer Identity Shift – Go from hobbyist to premium. Build a signature sound and position yourself as the composer who gets called back.
- Music That Gets Placed – Catalog vs. custom cues, the backend deliverables that make editors love you, and how to read briefs like a pro.
- Building Your Music House – Real-world PTN workflow tactics, DAW templates, storage systems, and our internal organization methods.
- Placement Strategy – How placements actually happen, building trust with decision-makers, and choosing legacy over chasing trends.
- How to Build Your Toolkit – Sample briefs to study, cue submission checklists, metadata formats, and delivery setups. What to build, why it matters, and how to keep it ready.
- Final Charge – Where to take your career next, and how to stay ready when the real doors open.
