Really excited for this forward!

Post by eliforshort » Fri Feb 06, 2015 8:53 pm

My track "The Opposite of Destiny" was forwarded to a music supervisor for this listing:

EMOTIONAL, STRING-BASED INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an A-List Hollywood Music Supervisor for a NON-Exclusive placement in an upcoming Feature Film. He’s hunting for Instrumental Cues that sound like they’re being performed by a small ensemble of about 3 - 8 people. Quoting the Music Supervisor: “We need emotional Cues for a number of different scenes. These Cues can be Romantic, Joyful, Wistful, Melancholy, or Sentimental. We're looking for Cues that feature prominent, real sounding strings, maybe some piano, light percussion, judicious use of wordless vocals is also okay, but NO heavy bass or drums. Overall, the music should have a timeless feel.” Please submit cues that ooze emotion. If you can make the Supervisor smile, laugh, cry, etc., etc., etc., that would be the ticket for this pitch!

The track is on my SoundCloud HERE

The feedback was this: "Beautiful, Elias. Easily one of the best pieces of music I've auditioned for these cues thus far. Let's see if the director feels similarly."

Thank you Screener #381!

Excellent work and congratulations. As the strings were brought up around 1:10 and on from there, very goose bump invoking :) .
