I think this is a very smart choice. There is many routes you can take for the sounds, as orchestral and electronic music are both appropriate here. Your second idea to be discordant is very smart for the shots in the trailer that involve people scrounging the alien ship, as it would lead to a very good feeling of suspense. Your sampling and warping of the sound of a scream (perhaps Sigourney Weaver's) would be very fitting for parts of the trailer that pop you into action, such has her running through the hallways of the ship, and could be used as a crescendo at the beginning with the long shots. Very good choice, and good luck.

This seems pretty ambitious you've definitely got some good ideas going on here. One thing I would suggest is that you should maybe add some "traditional" music so the trailer isn't all sound effects and piano notes, but I think it would be pretty interesting if you could pull it off with those sound effects and discordant piano.

This was fantastic! I loved the synchronization of the motifs with the appearance of the letters. The wind chimes and wind loop, in addition to the melody, created a hauntingly eerie atmosphere, and I was in suspense the entire time. The hawk scream was also a nice touch-- the processing definitely made it seem alien, and I couldn't even tell it was a bird until I read the rest of your post.

Okay this was pulled off very well. You definitely captured the mood of the trailer and even though I'm not sure what the original audio was (I didn't listen to it) this is very fitting. The wind effects, the piano notes and that cracking all played well together to make a very creepy effect. Good stuff.

Alright, this is awesome. I think adding the chimes at the beginning was a nice touch. Also, repeating those last notes that played when the "E" came on was the perfect way to build suspense and expectation for the egg cracking. If I would change anything, it'd be the fact that there's a sound effect for every peace of ALIEN that appears. I don't personally think it's a bad touch but it seems that this might have a "undesired comical effect."

Wow! I thought this sounded amazing and very professional. In my opinion, your trailer music actually fits the video much better than the original. I could feel the suspense and uneasiness that you wanted to express with the wind loop and the scream. Although I am not familiar with many sound editing techniques, the music feels very well put together, and flows well from beginning to end. I thought the repeated notes at the end was a nice finishing touch, but I wish that the video actually continued for a couple of more seconds, because it seems like it ended a bit too abruptly.
