Shawarma

Cinematic music for your story

Describe the scene, like "the hero sees the city for the first time" or "a trailer that builds to a big hit". Shawarma writes it for strings, drums, brass and choir.

Then direct it. Ask for a slower build, a quiet moment before the drums, or one last hit at the end.

The trailer

90 BPM, strings that build, drums and a choir

Then ask for changes

  • Youone big hit at the end
  • Youtake the choir out
  • Youmake it sadder, in a minor key
  • Youadd a quiet piano before the drums

Made for big moments

  • An orchestra on call

    Strings, brass, piano, choir and big drums. Ask for any of them in or out.

  • Builds you can shape

    A quiet start, a rise, a hit. Ask for the build longer, the hit bigger or the end softer.

  • Yours to use

    You own what you make and can use it in your videos and games. Some built-in sounds ask for a credit; the list is on the Terms page.
