Forwarded-Tension cue w/Middle East Flair

Post by henryvan4444 » Tue Jul 07, 2020 11:25 am

Still learning (a ton) regarding suspense/tension cues and was happy to see this one was forwarded...

Lots of SCI-FI INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS (and/or Cues) with a MIDDLE EASTERN FLAIR are needed by a leading Music Licensing Company for “pandemic projects” that will air on Middle Eastern-themed TV programs and Documentaries. They could also air anywhere in the world.

This company is proactively stocking up for the onslaught of TV shows, feature films, documentaries, and cable news specials being written now and going into production when the “all clear” (or mostly clear) sounds. As you might imagine, there will be a boatload of these projects coming up, and that means this company will need a hefty stash of music to satisfy the demand.

Please listen to the following references to get in the general stylistic ballpark of what they’re looking for:

"Panic In The Desert" by Omar Ali

"Roots" by Aashiq Abu and Sushin Shyam

If you really, really want to be at the top of your game, watch all these movies and TV shows, and take notes when you hear music! It will help pass the time while you’re cooped up, and you’ll be a pandemic-music-making genius when you’re done! Seriously, do it now, and tell your family to leave you alone because you’re “working,” lol!

Please submit Middle Eastern Influenced Sci-Fi Tension Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that convey an unsettling, moody feeling that could work well in investigative scenes where the FBI is examining the bodies of victims or when they’re outside looking for clues to what may have caused the pandemic! Electronic and/or Orchestral Instrumentation can work, but don’t add too many layers – just enough to give your Instrumentals some forward momentum and to keep them from sounding repetitive. Your submissions should use Middle Eastern scales, melodies, and/or instrumentation to set the location and flavor!

You’d be smart to stick to a singular motif throughout. Your goal is not to score the film or show. Your job is to create music that editors can fly into a scene, and it works well because it doesn’t go through the changes that a score likely would!

Submissions should be about 90 Seconds long, give or take. Non-faded endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material 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, so please be sure the Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 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 to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals (and/or 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 Thursday, May 21st, 2020. TAXI # S200521TN
