FUTURISTIC, TENSION-Based INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a really large media company for placements in several projects, including hit cable TV shows, other shows on their own network, and online media. This rapidly growing industry giant is building its own Exclusive, In-House Music Library and will pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights. On top of the per track fee, you will also keep 100% of the Writer’s share of the publishing and make applicable performance income. Please take a listen to the references the client gave us to get an idea of the range of styles that could work for this pitch:
“Stranger Things Main Theme” by Survive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpHNlx0pPIU
“Mr. Robot Main Theme” by Mac Quayle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfqlbHadp40
“Blindspot Theme” by Blake Neely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2hDqHtVfSA
Please submit well-crafted Instrumental Cues that have current-sounding, electronic and orchestral elements, and deliver a feeling of expectancy and anticipation. Craft your Cue around a simple melodic theme that’s engaging and suspenseful, while gradually adding electronic elements to create space, dynamics, and interest as your Cue progresses. Having dark, ambient, futuristic synth pads will work best for creating that ominous, moody vibe they’re after. Don’t throw the kitchen sink at this. Keep your Cues simple and remember that mood is king, and sticking with one mood and motif from top to bottom will make them love you.
All submissions should be at least 2:00 minutes in length and Non-Faded endings. Do NOT copy or rip off the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
This new, Exclusive, In-House Library will pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights. On top of the per track fee, you will also keep 100% of the Writer’s share of the publishing and make applicable performance income. This Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the music you submit for this pitch CANNOT be signed with any other publishers or catalogs. Please submit 1-3 Instrumental Cues Online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a yes/no basis and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Sunday, January 22nd, 2017. TAXI # Y170122FT

Cheers,

Steve Henrichs
