Immediate Music was founded in 1993 by Jeffrey Fayman and Yoav Goren with their first trailer cue for Carlito's Way.[3] Originally starting out as making music for film trailers, in 2008 the company opened its libraries to the video game and advertising industries.[4]

Its record label, Imperativa Records that releases albums in a epic music genre to the public since 2006.
Trailer Music Live
On June 27, 2009, Immediate Music put on a concert called Trailer Music Live. A full orchestra and choir performed tracks from Immediate's trailer music library. Additionally, Immediate's cinematic rock band Globus played a set. Music from trailers such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings was performed.
Previously, Globus, the trailer music inspired rock band, had performed in England at Wembley, and the success of that venture has led to the US live performance.
Yoav Goren, co-owner and composer for Immediate Music, had this to say about the upcoming concert: "This event was received with such enthusiasm in London, that we felt compelled to bring it to the states. Trailer Music Live is truly a unique live concert experience for movie fans of all ages, featuring a large orchestra, choir and rock band bringing this emotional and epic movie music directly from the screen to the stage."[5]
