Is this a good reference?

Post by ricschmitz » Sun Aug 04, 2019 5:41 pm

I'm sure this would be returned as a "very repetitive piece " . These bad references happen very often.

TE: This company has only recently started requesting music from TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This is a golden opportunity to build a relationship with a new company!
They’re searching for a bunch of Instrumental Cues in All Tempos that would fall in the general stylistic ballpark of these references:
Building Cinematic Tension
Suspense Tension Buildup 1
Please submit well-crafted Tension Cues that have a moody and suspenseful tone and vibe. They need Cues with Electronic and/or Orchestral elements to create a polished, cinematic sound.
Build your Cues around a central melodic theme while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as they progress to create dynamics, tension, and lots of forward momentum. Please make sure you use realistic-sounding Virtual Instruments or samples for your Orchestral Instrumentation!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.
This Company offers a NON-Exclusive, 50/50 deal. You’ll get 50% of any applicable sync fees and 100% of the Writer’s share. The Publisher will get 50% of any sync fees and 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Composition to submit to this pitch. You’ll maintain full ownership of the original Copyright and Master Recording. Please send as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, August 11th, 2019. TAXI Dispatch #D190811CT

Hi ricschmitz,

Yes..good call ......this would almost surely be returned for being way too repetitive...
A few years ago..this would of probably been acceptable.... but not anymore.


my 2 cents,
Tim
