===================
SIMPLE GHOST-HUNTING Style UNDERSCORE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a busy and extremely active, Non-Exclusive Music Library that’s actively building multiple new Instrumental Catalogs. They’re hunting (yes, pun intended) for suspenseful, tension-filled, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Underscore Cues that could work well for shows like (but not limited to) Paranormal State, A Haunting, Ghost Hunters International, etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the music used in these shows to give yourself a solid idea of the sound they’re after:
Paranormal State (3:06 to 4:10)
A Haunting (4:00 to 5:15)
Ghost Hunters International (6:41 to 7:20)
Please submit eerie, ominous, spine-tingling Underscore Cues that give the audience a feeling of unsettling anticipation. Your submissions should focus on a sparse central melodic idea, while weaving layers of various instrumentation and dynamic elements in and out to keep your Cues moving forward, and sonically engaging. You’d be smart to start out fairly sparse, while building tension until your Cue gets to a climactic finish without becoming too bombastic or intense. Simplicity is key! Imagine the type of music you’d hear while a lead investigator walks through a dark attic searching for any signs of paranormal activity. That’s what they need!
All submissions should be at least 2 minutes long, with a crescendo that leads to a buttoned/stinger ending.

I'm playing this at night and its scaring me. It works.
Yeah I could see this as background music in a ghost film. Not my genre but it seems like one of those tension tracks.

Vikki,
I've only watched part of one of those ghost shows a few times. I think it could work. It certainly has an 'eerie' feeling to it.

I like the way you brought together many different dynamic elements in the piece. Hope it's a forward for you!
I submitted to this one too, but kind of went a more melodic direction--probably overreacting to my latest tension cue return for "not enough melody."

You didn't go far enough, I reckon..

Interestingly sparse...I like it, but I can never call whether these things will be forwarded or not.
Let us know what happens, I have one submitted for this also which is quite different

Honestly, I think it may be a bit too much. It sounds very experimental and could draw attention away from the scene and to itself. I could be wrong though. Good luck.

Re: is this too wierd ? or on target ?
somehow I submitted my ghost hunting cue to the wrong listing (one for sinister hip-hop). Sighs.
