Dark Ominous Tension Listing

[madkeys88]

I'd appreciate your feedback on two songs (Shadowland and Remnant) I plan to submit to the following listing:
NEW LISTING -- DARK and OMINOUS HYBRID UNDERSCORE CUES are needed by a busy and very active Music Library for placements on a number of TV Shows they're supplying music to. Please submit eerie, tension-building, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Underscore Cues that could work well for shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Gotham, etc., etc., etc. Give them suspenseful, hybridized Instrumental Underscore that effectively deliver a feeling of on-the-edge-of-your-seat anticipation. Instrumentation can vary, but should be focused on a central melodic idea, while layering various instruments in and out as your Cue progresses to keep it compelling, forward moving, and filled with a building sense of uneasy tension. Please submit Instrumental Cues that are at least 2 minutes in length. Easy edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are needed for this pitch. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you're inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don't submit material for this pitch that's already signed with any other libraries or publishers. You must own or control your Master and Composition to submit to this opportunity. Please submit one to three Instrumental 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 Sunday, February 28th, 2016. TAXI #Y160228HU

Thanks for your input.

What does "Hybrid" mean in this listing?

[madkeys88]

Hi Jan. Hybrid means having mixed elements or sounds in the music. Generally, strings and/or horns (orchestral) along with synthesizer or electronic elements.

[janbaars]

That's what I thought, but in this listing it doesn't say anything about orchestral instruments.

It actually says "instruments can vary".
Do you think hybrid ALWAYS means that orchestral sounds should be part of it?

[madkeys88]

I think "Hybrids" always have some type of orchestral element(s)to them. I think what the listing means by instruments can vary, is the other elements within the music. Taxi has lots of other "tension/dark and ominous" type instrumental cues that don't specifically say "hybrid". This was actually my first "hybrid" attempt.
