My first forward!!!
Hi!
I was very excited to find out that my chill wave instrumental "Clear Sky Cruising" was a forward. Being a newbie, I've only submitted 2 other songs before this, so hopefully I can keep riding the forward wave with my future tunes...
You can have a listen to it on my profile page if you wish.
CHILLWAVE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for multiple $1,500, Direct-to-Music Supervisor, NON-Exclusive placements in a new Sci-Fi Series done by the same producers as the hit TV show, Mr. Robot. They’re looking for Smooth, Down-To-Mid-Tempo Instrumental Cues that could be heard on a playlist with artists like (but not limited to), Washed Out, Blackbird Blackbird, Small Black, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get yourself in the general wheelhouse and range of what they need: “Feel It All Around” by Washed Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DkslcOhytU “Blurred Lines” by Blackbird Blackbird https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vosGQ_52zpM “No Stranger” by Small Black https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrkXqc1Wi2o Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch. Please submit current-sounding, ambient, atmospheric Chillwave Cues with a laid-back drum groove and lots of cool reverb on your synths. Speaking of synths: they should be luscious and celestial with appealing melodies. Build your Cue around a central melodic theme while layering additional instruments in and out as your Cue progresses to keep it from sounding too repetitive or linear. Avoid anything overly busy or frenetic, as it could distract from a scene’s dialog. As is often the case, simple is better, and creating an easy-to-identify mood is best! Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes long. Easy edit points and Non-Faded/Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). The estimated license fees for these placements are $1,500, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch. You'll get 100% of the sync fee and 100% of any applicable performance royalties. Plus, you'll also keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership. You need to own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit 1-3 Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a yes/no basis with short critiques, and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Saturday, January 28th, 2017. TAXI #Y170128CW
