Forward >> LIGHT-HEARTED ORCHESTRAL DRAMEDY

Clowing around in the studio again. :)



LIGHT-HEARTED ORCHESTRAL COMEDIC DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an EXCLUSIVE Music Library that's connected with many TV Production Companies and Showrunners!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company is brand new to requesting music from TAXI's members, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This is a great opportunity to create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome company!

This Library is on the hunt for a bunch of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that could be found on a playlist with the following references:

"Sneaky Snitch" by Kevin MacLeod

Instrumental Reference #2

"Desperate Elves" by Steve Barden

Quoting the Library: "We're looking for light-hearted, funny Cues with simple orchestration, light beats, lots of comedic stops. Childish or toy-ish sounds will work well, here."

Please send well-composed Dramedy Cues with a light-hearted, quirky vibe and sound. Craft your submissions around a singular mischievous mood and motif, and create a sense of forward movement and dynamics by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress. Your Cues should incorporate light Orchestral instrumentation like pizzicato strings, oboes, glockenspiel, etc. If you're planning on using any virtual instruments, they need to sound high-quality and modern. Your production should be top-notch, as well.

TAXI Tip: Simpler is often better for these kinds of Cues! Your pieces shouldn't be so busy that they could distract from dialog from a scene.

All submissions should be at least 90 seconds long, and can run up to 2 minutes (a little bit longer is fine). Well-crafted, buttoned/stinger endings are required – do NOT submit anything with faded endings. Do NOT copy the referenced tracks in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall 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 the Publisher will 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 with other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit 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 (PDT) on Saturday, March 27th, 2021. TAXI Dispatch # D210327CM
