ACOUSTIC-Driven, SINGER/SONGWRITER INSTRUMENTAL CUES Forwards

Post by GuitarKit » Wed Sep 19, 2018 6:48 pm

Sweet, a couple more forwards. Forwards or not, I still love writing and love the chase of a forward. :D

ACOUSTIC-Driven, SINGER/SONGWRITER INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Licensing Company with a long and impressive list of great placements in TV, Film, and Commercials. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that would fall within the general stylistic ballpark of the following references: “Hold On Forever” by Rob Thomas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCLN6JuXfpE “What I Wouldn’t Do” by A Fine Frenzy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrJA5eDhh9I “From Afar” by Vance Joy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYUcqmpHJbk Even though the references have vocals, they’re looking for Instrumental Cues only for this pitch! Please send them well-crafted, acoustic-based Instrumental Cues that could work for a wide range of sync placements. Little accents like handclaps, foot stomps, or whistles could give your submission some added spark, but they’re not absolutely necessary. Your submissions should feature a central melodic idea. Build momentum by adding and subtracting different elements to add dynamics and interest as your Instrumental progresses. Please avoid using any instruments that sound stiff, synthetic, or obviously quantized and MIDI-driven. All submissions should be at about 2 minutes long (give or take). Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger Endings will work best.

Nice tracks Kit, they sound right on the money.

I like the bluesy vibe of Just a Nerd in Love.

Nice work, Kit - as usual - congrats on the forward & good luck on them getting them placed.
On the Nerd tune - I was hearing the optional use of steel drums in place of some of the whistle-sounding parts...
taking it in a bit of a Jimmy Buffett direction - cool melodies & changes.

Cheers.
