STRING-BASED, ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for a direct placement to specific TV Show through this giant Media Company’s own In-House Music Library (that pays a $250 upfront fee). They’re looking for Cues in All Tempos that are in the stylistic range of the references below:

“Humming” by Portishead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzm1DY3hJL8

“Until the Morning” by Thievery Corporation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvlNy8CdlIY

“All of the Lights” by Kanye West (String Quartet Cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2a1KjfbGt0

Although some of the references have vocals, this request is for instrumentals only. Please submit instrumental Cues that sound have convincing string samples that sound like the real thing. Build your Cue around a central melodic theme, while layering instruments in and out as your Cue progresses to add dynamics and keep your Cue from sounding repetitive. Avoid using any MIDI-driven instruments that sound stiff or unnatural, as well as playing anything that’s overly busy or frenetic, as that could distract from a scene’s dialog.

All submissions should be approximately 90 seconds in length, and have a buttoned/stinger ending. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for the tone, texture, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This 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 song 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 and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Tuesday, January 17th, 2017.TAXI #S170117OI
