ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a very successful Music Library with an amazingly long list of great credits for placements in Film, TV, and Commercials. Give them emotionally inspired, wonder-filled, Mid-Tempo Cues that could be heard in films such as Avatar, How to Train Your Dragon, Chronicles of Narnia, etc., etc., etc. Listen to the following Instrumentals to get an idea of the general style and vibe they’re hunting for: “Becoming One Of The People” by James Horner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrZowxV3M4U “Only The Beginning of The Adventure” by Harry Gregson Williams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_WQKUZn9OA “Romantic Flight” by John Powell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMmKARSV0VE Give them Cues that feature traditional orchestral instrumentation found in the above references. Your piece should start out on the lighter side with a sense of hope and optimism, then build into something larger with a sense of wonderment. Don’t submit anything dark or scary for this pitch. Non-lyrical choral elements could work well, but please don’t overdo it. We recommend sending Cues with a singular melodic theme and building on that as the piece progresses. Don’t overcomplicate your piece by trying to score “scene changes.” Stick to one motif and emotion from beginning to end. Cues that show you know how to use your virtual instruments/samples so they sound indistinguishable from the real thing will make you a hero in the eyes of this discerning company. All submissions should be at least 2 minutes long. Natural endings with no fades are recommended. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). Do not copy or rip off the referenced composers or examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide to get yourself in the general ballpark of the tempo, texture, and emotion. This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publishing, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure your material is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD no later than 4pm (PST) on Tuesday, February 24th, 2015. TAXI #D150224IC
