Daytime TV Show?

Post by earblast » Mon Sep 01, 2008 5:13 pm

Hello All,Submitting for this listing:SERIOUS COMPOSERS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY by a Music Producer who provides a large portion of the music for a major Daytime TV show. He has several TAXI composers under his roof already and has had hundreds of placements on this show in the last year. His intention is to contract 5 new “standby” composers who will replace those who are not available and/or take up slack when the “hurry up” projects come around. The ideal composer will be able to write full orchestration and dramatic background music, as well as having knowledge of various styles including Hip Hop/Americana/Rock/Blues/Funk. While he would like to find composers who have experience in a variety of styles, please only submit FULL ORCHESTRATION and DRAMATIC BACKGROUND INSTRUMENTALS for this particular listing.Question: What series would you guess it is for? The reason I ask is that there is a huge difference in what one would submit for Oprah Vs. a Soap vs. Talk Show? Any guesses out there?Thanks
