INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUE Forward

Post by levelone » Mon Nov 12, 2018 8:44 am

Got a forward on the track/ listing below.

Track:
https://soundcloud.com/level-one-music/under-suspicion

Listing:
Y181027IT

INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by the CEO of a Production Music Library with placements in TV, Film, Commercials, and Trailers.
Please listen to the following references given to us by the client to get an idea of what might work for this pitch:

Crime Watch Daily (From 0:45 – 1:26)

Dateline NBC (From 0:01 – 0:16)

Please submit dramatic, suspenseful Instrumental Cues that could support a variety of Investigative and/or Crime-based scenes. Your submissions should have a sound, style, and production values that would be considered current for the standards of today’s TV Crime Dramas, and can incorporate instrumentation like (but not limited to) strings, pads, percussive accents, piano, etc.

Craft your Cue around a simple melodic idea that’s suspenseful and tension-filled, while adding new layers of instrumentation as it progresses to create dynamics, interest, and forward momentum. Be sure to keep your Cue on the simple side, and remember that this is all about setting the mood!

All submissions should be between 1.5 and 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-Faded, button/stinger endings are recommended. 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 50/50 deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals you submit to this pitch are NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher gets 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. 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 Saturday, October 27th, 2018. TAXI #Y181027IT

Very cool track Jason. Love the dynamics and the ear candy. Can hear it on an episode of House of Cards.
