“Dig in to this fresh collection of powerful, richly orchestrated tracks that take you on distinctive epic journeys”, 5Alarm Music says. “Energetic family adventure action and dark, hybrid vocal styles are all represented, pristinely produced and crafted with trailer editors in mind.”

Cinematic Journeys was composed by Aram Mandossian, Ryan Hanifl (who has previously collaborated with Globus), Kimera Morrell and Erik Desiderio.
