world percussion cue feedback please

Post by ronnie35 » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:05 pm

Hello Alittle less reverb this time around. WORLD MUSIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Media Giant for inclusion in its Exclusive, In-House Music Library and placements in its numerous TV shows, documentaries and online media. They pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights (more info below).

This request is pretty wide-ranging and they’re looking for a lot of material to stock their catalog! Give them Cues that are either just Percussion, or that primarily feature Percussion. Some genres that come to mind are: Latin (of all types), Afro-Cuban, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Native American, Polynesian, African, Cajun, Indian, Asian, Caribbean, etc, etc, etc…

Traditional West African Percussion Ensemble:

Ethnic Drum Ensemble of Kerala:

“1001 Drums” by Rex Benincasa:

Give them rhythmically engaging Instrumental Cues that mainly only use percussive instrumentation and no other instruments or sounds. They’re open to percussive music styles, both current and traditional from any part of the world. Your Submission can range from African Conga beats to Middle Eastern Doumbek, to even a Latin drum ensemble and so on. You’d be wise to stick to percussion from a single region, rather than mixing up styles within the same Cue. Your Cues could be anywhere from slower moving pieces to rhythmically driving and more intense.

Please submit Cues that are approximately 90 seconds in length. Non-faded endings and easy edit points (duh!) would be best for this pitch! Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way shape of form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This Exclusive, In-House Library will pay an initial buyout fee of $250 for 100% of the Composition and Master rights. On top of the per track fee, you will also keep 100% of the Writer’s share of the publishing and make applicable performance income. This Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the music you submit for this pitch CANNOT be signed with any other publishers or catalogs. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals Cues Online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Friday, January 20th, 2017. TAXI #Y170120WP

Submit to this listing TAXI # Y170120WP its called ANYONE FOR A CUBAN SANDWICH http://www.soundcloud.com/777rd Thanks for the listen and feedback. Ron :)
