Indie Acoustic Instrumentals

Post by DouglasKnight » Wed Sep 27, 2023 4:47 am

I was extremely happy to have 3 out of 4 submissions forwarded for the listing below.

This listing was fun yet challenging, since I needed to learn to play finger-style guitar. I got some good constructive feedback as well, thank you screeners!

__________

Lots of INDIE ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTALS for COMMERCIALS are needed by a globally distributed Music Licensing Company that's represented in over 75 countries and has a lot of success landing TONS of Major Network placements every year!

This Company is looking for Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the examples below:

"Lake Missoula" by Ritchy Mitch & The Coal Miners

"Music Box" by Leith Ross

"It's Infinite" by Lomelda

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

Please submit Acoustic Instrumentals that feature lots of Indie flavor and could work well for a variety of sync placements! Compelling motifs, solid musicianship, and dynamic arrangements are all needed for this listing. Acoustic instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best. Please make sure your productions are polished, and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding.

Your submissions should be about 90 seconds to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Thanks Casey! You were skeptical about one of them that was forwarded, yes, and I appreciated your feedback because it prompted me to improve the track, so thanks again :)
