About Audio Artist Academy

The group covers film, TV, games, trailer music and sync, and offers practical guidance, resources, feedback on members' work and contact with other composers.[2] For more advanced training, Pfeffer runs Audio Artist Rise, a mentorship program built on industry strategies for composers' careers.[1][2] As of September 2026, a seat on both weekly Audio Artist Rise group calls, with four hours of live support a week, feedback and a direct line to Pfeffer, cost $27 a month.[1] Pfeffer also coaches one-to-one in 90-minute Zoom sessions, which as of September 2026 cost $197 for one, $797 for five and $1,497 for ten.[5]

Pfeffer's site lists work with trailer and production music names including Two Steps from Hell, Epic Score, Liquid Cinema, Gothic Storm and Position Music, and game credits at Dynamedion including CHORVS, Company of Heroes 3 and Crysis 2.[4] His YouTube channel says his music has featured in trailers for Pacific Rim, Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter, and that he has collaborated with Mick Gordon, Trevor Morris and Frank Peterson.[3]
