Forward >> COMEDIC DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES

Post by steveprobst » Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:00 am

2nd forward for this track. :)



COMEDIC DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a premier Production Music Library with an extensive history of great placements!

They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that could stylistically be right up the alley of (but not limited to) these examples:

“Sneaky Snitch” by Kevin MacLeod

KAPTAIN MUSIC - DRAMEDY STORY

RHOBH | Bravo (From 1:13 – 2:09)

Please send them well-composed Instrumental Cues that could be used in a variety of funny, playful, and comedic scenes in TV Shows. Build your Cues around a central melodic theme while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as they progress to add dynamics, interest, and some forward momentum. Think of what you might hear when a prank is being played or when a funny moment is happening in a scene. That’s exactly the kind of music they’re looking for!

All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are strongly encouraged for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced Cues in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share and they’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to other Libraries or Catalogs. Please send as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Monday, February 24th, 2020. TAXI Dispatch # D200224CM

Thanks Charlie!

I see a Jeffrey Steele quote in your signature. I'm a huge fan but you wouldn't know by hearing this cue. lol

The cues that you write are really great. I'm trying to get some traction in the Dramedy cue neighborhood. Just starting actually. I do have other cues signed with libraries in different genres, but since getting a MAC and Logic, the sounds available are just great so I'm giving it a go.

The Jeffrey Steele quote is from when he was the guest speaker at a Taxi Rally many moons ago. What a great writer and human being.

Anyway, thanks for the response and maybe I'll run into you at a rally, or maybe we can collaborate on something?

Yep, started in Logic/Mac after I saw a demo of it at a road Rally back in 2007/08?!
To my ear sometimes I think, the Logic pizzis seem to fit in "urban" dreamed most for me, although I think I use them elsewhere too, along with East/West Hollywood Orch and Symphonic Orch.

Going to keep you in mind. :)
