Are these Trailer listings duplicates?

[stevebarden]

There are two listings coming up that are basically identical. Both are "UK-based Production Music Library with many great placements in Film and TV" with the intention of "We’re looking for music for a new library album entitled ‘Trailer and Promo." . These have to be the same, right?

HYBRID ORCHESTRAL TRAILER-STYLE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library with many great placements in Film and TV. They’re currently building a brand new catalog of Trailer-esque Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references: “Skyworld” by Two Steps From Hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLUj9lFPU6s “Angels Among Demons” by Really Slow Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp-tdpzw9Ac “Legacy” by Fringe Element: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNzbnIBsdr8 Quoting the source: “We’re looking for music for a new library album entitled ‘Trailer and Promo.’ Hybrid orchestral Instrumentals only for this pitch, though atmospheric, non-lyrical vocals/choirs are fine. These tracks will be for Film and Video Game Trailers, as well as TV Sports Promo spots. Tracks need to be at least 2 minutes long and inspired by the generic Three Act film Trailer formula.” Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that are structured like a typical Film Trailer, with 3 distinct “acts” that build as the piece progresses. Your orchestral samples should sound like real orchestral instruments played by real humans, and the hybrid elements you choose to add to your composition can vary from elements of EDM, Alt Rock, Dubstep, Metal, etc., etc., etc. Your submissions should have great dynamics, with plenty of textural layers to deliver an emotionally riveting performance. As mentioned in the quote, your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Easy edit points and crescendos that lead to buttoned/stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Pieces that crescendo to a buttoned ending, followed by a codetta (as often used in Trailers) are okay to submit as well. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced trailers in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal on performance royalties, and an 80/20 split in the Writer’s favor for any applicable download fees by clients from their Library, so please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit one to three Instrumentals online or per CD no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on

ORCHESTRAL, TRAILER-STYLE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library with many great placements in Film and TV. They’re working hard to build an awesome catalog of Trailer-esque Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references: “Heart Of Courage” by Two Steps From Hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLdhFVzqt4 “Guardian At The Gates” by Audiomachine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0SJpFDko8 “Thunderborn” by Really Slow Motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcw1ZmMHTgg Quoting the source: “We’re looking for music for a new library album entitled ‘Trailer and Promo.’” Instrumentals only, though atmospheric, non-lyrical vocals/choirs are fine. These tracks will be for Film and Video Game trailers, as well as TV sports promo spots. Tracks need to be at least 2 minutes long and inspired by generic film trailer formula: Immediate emotional starts or big hits surrounded by space are some ideas. Builds/gear changes throughout are essential, lots of vibe, and tons of excitement. Dropping to nothing about 75% of the way through is another idea - be creative! Classical instrumentation for this one, with highest quality sounds only please, bad or unconvincing MIDI sounds won’t work. Good references are: Two Steps From Hell, Really Slow Motion Music & Audiomachine.” Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that are structured like a typical Film Trailer, with 3 distinct “acts” that build as the composition progresses. Your submissions should use authentic/convincing sounding orchestral elements like dynamic strings, compelling brass, and large impactful percussion to create intensity of epic proportion! As mentioned in the quote, your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Easy edit points and crescendos that lead to buttoned/stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Pieces that crescendo to a buttoned ending, followed by a codetta (as often used in Trailers) are okay to submit as well. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced trailers in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for texture, tone, and overall vibe.

Looks like they are different. The second one is specifically for classical instrumentation only. The first is hybrid, meaning other styles can be incorporated. Probably for the same client, just with different requirements.

[funsongs]

Go by the number at the bottom - the verbiage is often similar.
Also best to check the number at the bottom as listings can be posted more than once.

Example: A few weeks ago there were several listings for Country songs;
and the listings read nearly the same; but they were, in fact, 3 separate listings.
Then some of them came around again.
Just be careful to check.
hth,
cheers.

[daveydad]

Yep, the difference is the word "hybrid"

[stevebarden]

Yes, you guys are correct. "Hybrdi" is the distinguishing characteristic. So easy to miss. Thanks for clearing that up!
