Forward for listing U141229OT
I'm grateful to have received a forward for the listing below. I titled my track "Ghost Hunter". Thanks screener 384 for the critique!

U141229OT
OPENING TITLE THEME MUSIC is needed for a Ghost Hunting Show that’s already got one successful season under it’s belt, a 2nd season on the way, and international distribution on the horizon if all goes well. The show already has a major distributor, so the show’s Producer wants to “raise the bar” with a new Opening Title Theme to entice more countries and cable systems to carry this show. Give them a fresh, new, Up-Tempo Instrumental Theme that creates a real sense of excitement, with a dash of danger, a little spookiness, and a pulsing investigative vibe that will play well with quick edits of the investigators racing around chasing paranormal entities. They’re open to just about any style: It could be Electronic, Rock, Hip Hop, Orchestral, OR it could be a hybrid of any or all of those styles. Whatever it is, they want something that beats the pants off the other paranormal shows, and we know somebody reading this has a new theme they’ll love! Give them Instrumental Themes that are at least 60 seconds long, and bang right in with heart racing excitement and end with a resolve/buttoned ending that has a sustain that naturally fades (like a synth growl) and lends itself to bumping up (being edited) to a hard cut/edit and new music that will start the show’s first scene. A catchy melodic motif that can be used as the basis of some instrumental cues throughout the show will probably make them do cartwheels!! Watch the following video from :50 - 1:30 to see what they need. Here’s another piece of music that might kindle an idea. Check out this video from :20 - :38. Remember, they’re NOT looking for clones of the examples! Do NOT copy or rip them off in any way, shape, or form. Give them something fresh and new. Heart-pounding, ghostly, and exciting? Check! Easy to edit? Check! Fast-paced? Check! Catchy enough that people will instantly know which show they’re watching even if they’re not looking at their TV? Heck yeah! The estimated License fee for this placement is $750. You’ll get 100% of that fee, plus you’ll also keep 100% of your publishing and master ownership. The show’s Producer will do a “Step Deal” with you, meaning; if the show gets picked up for more countries and markets you’ll get more money. The Producer will ask you to sign an agreement that you won’t place or submit this music elsewhere, which makes sense as your music would be the Opening Theme and they wouldn’t want it appearing in other shows! You must own or control 100% of the Master to pitch for this opportunity. Please don’t submit anything that’s already signed to any other libraries or catalogs. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). All Submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals no later than MONDAY, December 29th, 2014, by noon (PST). TAXI #U141229OT

Nice job Steven! It really kicks in at :31, IMHO. And I like the quazi-wah sounds toward the end.
good luck!
