INVESTIGATIVE TENSION Forward(s)

Post by steveprobst » Fri Nov 22, 2019 8:41 am

Hi, it's me again. :ugeek:




INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an International Music Licensing Company with lots of great placements in Film and TV.

They need a bunch of Cues in this style! Please listen to the following references to get an idea of what could potentially work for this pitch:

Hostage | Detroit: Become Human OST

Crime Scene Music - Police Investigation Underscore Music

Crime Scene - CSI Suspense Music

Please submit suspenseful Tension Instrumental Cues that could enhance the emotion and mood in a variety of investigative scenes and scenarios. Build your Cues around a central, tension-inducing melody that will sit easily behind a scene’s dialogue. Add new elements as they progress to create a sense of forward movement and development.

TAXI Tip: Please be sure that any Virtual Instruments or Samples you use are considered modern and current-sounding.

All submissions should be about 1:30 in length, give or take, with Non-Faded, Button/Stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references 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 Instrumental Cues 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 Instrumental Cues as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019. TAXI Dispatch #D191029TN

Steve, you have been found guilty of obtaining a deal for those cues ;)

Love the bass in the 1st one (a bit overpowering, but I suppose you went for that), and the airy sound in the 2nd one.

Get that deal behind bars, now!

Thanks Marco. I believe the example had some kind of bass "in your face". So good practice for me try to get that kind of thing balanced.
