2/2 for warm and cozy!

Post by daveydad » Mon Apr 09, 2018 7:02 pm

Happy to get a 2/2 for this listing. I kind of "threw" these together a few months ago and they finally came in handy!

WARM, COZY, ACOUSTIC-BASED INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a boutique Music Library with tons of credits in big Feature Films, countless TV Shows, and TV Commercials. They’re looking for Mid-­to­-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that would fall within the general stylistic range of the following references the Music Library gave us: NOTE: We recently ran this request as (TAXI #Y180215WC), and the company loved what we sent them and asked us to re-run this request again to see if we could find them even more great material. If you submitted to TAXI #Y180215WC, please submit different material this time around! Instrumental Reference 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siQ1DR8lRrQ Instrumental Reference 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWEZvZIuWbE&t=45s Instrumental Reference 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIHoFy9JCuY&t=69s Please give them warm, well-crafted Instrumentals that are in the stylistic ballpark of the references above. “Imagine a family sitting together in the warm light of the fireplace in their living room, or other 'cozy' places.” Instrumental Cues that are primarily acoustic-based should work best. Build your Cue around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation to create dynamic builds and forward momentum as it progresses. Anything that sounds stiff, synthetic, or obviously MIDI-driven won’t work for this pitch. Organic sounding material is what they’re looking for! Quoting the Music Library: “Your Cues don’t need a prominent melody – rather, nice musical motives that work well as background music with some sense of forward movement.” All submissions should be around Two-Minutes long (give or take) with non-faded, buttoned endings. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with any other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Composition rights. Please send as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short critiques only.

Nice tracks David. I like the lovely balance and tones between the acoustic gat and piano. Definitely warm and cozy.
The swing in both tracks makes them really easy and loungey.
Hope you get some attention for these tracks. Good luck.

Good throwing David! :)
Nice, positive vibe to them both, and as Kit says, the swing is a bonus too. I hope they bring you luck.
Graham (UK). Still composing a little faster than decomposing, and 100% HI.
