Stab at Dark Drone....

[daveydad]

Dark enough? Too creepy? Just right?

DARK DRONE SOUNDSCAPE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Licensing Company with a list of great placements in Film and TV. Please submit subdued, “drone-y” Instrumental Cues that could be featured along with the works of Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Hans Zimmer and Charlie Clouser. Listen to the references below to get an idea of what they’re looking for:

“Perihelion” by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

“Imperfect Lock” by Hans Zimmer

“Open Eyes” by Charlie Clouser

Submit subtle and textural Instrumental Cues with very little, to no melodic movement. Give them droning soundscapes that deliver a moody and ominous feeling, as instrumentation weaves in and out, to create a seamless piece of compelling underscore. You should stick to a singular motif throughout the entire cue to keep your submission emotionally cohesive. Your submissions can have subtle, non-tonal elements illustrated in modern cinematic sound design, or even the addition of some percussion as heard in the references. Don’t go crazy! Be sure to keep your Cue fairly simple, which is ultimately what this pitch is asking for.

All submissions should be at least 2 minutes long, with non-faded endings with a natural decay/ring out are recommended. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (Great sounding home recordings are fine).

I like it David! Nice textures!
There is a Click at 0:30 I would clean up... (and again at 0:59-1:00)

In case anyone is interested... I fixed the clicks and updated the mix. https://soundcloud.com/davidhollandsworth/blackout

Hi David,

I think this cue is a great sounding drone cue that is dark, subtle and ominous. Hopefully you'll get a forward with this.
