Hi Heres the listing. INSTRUMENTAL CUES that sound like they would have been used in a 1960’s era TV commercial are needed by the Music Supervisor of an upcoming Feature Film. He’s hunting for believable, Ad-friendly, Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that are fun, lively, and emotionally upbeat. Please listen to following compilation of 1960’s commercials to get an idea of the general sound he needs: Television Commercials from the 1960’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZcDNGyAnFg Quoting the Music Supervisor: “This will be source music for a TV commercial [playing in the background,] and should be between 30 to 60 seconds in length, with a button ending. Instrumental Cues should be catchy, and convincingly work in a 1960’s era TV ad.” Your Cues should have a vintage sound that’s inviting, fun, bouncy, or soothing, as long as it’s melodically, rhythmically, and instrumentally consistent with Advertising Music of that 1960’s era. Buttoned endings are needed. Please avoid anything that’s modern sounding, stiff or obviously MIDI-driven. The estimated license fee for this pitch is $1,000 to $2,000, depending on the ultimate placement. This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch, so you'll keep 100% of your Master and Publishing rights, plus you'll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control 100% of the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home records are fine). All Songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a person handpicked by the Music Supervisor! No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Instrumental Cues online or by CD no later than Saturday, January 31st, 2015 by 2pm (PST). TAXI #U150131TV

Hard to say--

I'm thinking along the lines of a more groove-oriented pitch as played by a band from the 60's. This is a HIGHLY interpretive listing, so best of luck to all on this one.

Thanks for the thought

I think it will work if you give more variety to the melody other than sequencing it up. (i.e. A A' B A) This will make it more like a jingle. As far as sounding like the references, I think everything but the piano is spot on. I'm Not sure what it is, maybe it's too loud. I actually like it with the strings, just not the intro. Try varying the orchestration a little more, too. Good luck!

It's a tricky listing to pinpoint but I definitely think what you have is worth submitting.

I wonder if there is something you could do production-wise to make it sound like an old recording? Like tape/vinyl....

Dan great idea thank you
