DARK CINEMATIC TRAILER-STYLE INSTRUMENTALS with TURKISH-Influence are needed by a hard-working Music Library that’s always hustling and landing placements for TAXI members in TV Shows, Film projects and Video Game Trailers!

TAXI Tip: Want to be a standout with little competition in a particular genre in this company's catalog? Here's your chance! Less competition = More possible placements! We know this is a bit of a niche listing, but trust us, this is a library you want your music in!

This Library is on the hunt for Instrumentals that could fit in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"A Thousand Details" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps-6ulIIsQA

"Kattle Battle" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRWiStXn0I

"Great Bird Of Prey" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paO8eDrH5jU

"Müller Time" by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcug9gXCN18

Although one of the references has spoken vocals/dialogue, please submit Instrumentals OR tracks with non-lyrical vocalizations only for this opportunity.

Quoting the Library: "What I am looking for can be summed up as the Turkish version of the Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross scoring duo (Social Network, Gone Girl, Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Watchmen, etc). For this trailer, we really need something that feels dark, edgy, eerie, enigmatic, cinematic, dreamy, and building. Ideally it features some elements of Turkish instruments." Imagine how Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would incorporate Turkish instruments into a trailer-style piece and give them that!

NOTE: This Library also has a strong preference for working with Turkish Artists and Composers for this opportunity. If you are of Turkish descent and you'reinterested in this awesome opportunity, this Library wants to hear your tracks!

Please send modern Trailer-style Instrumentals that convey an overall dark and edgy cinematic sound and vibe. Your submissions should have eerie motifs, engaging beats, top-notch arrangements, and three "acts" that build to a climactic crescendo. Dark electronic instrumentation (or mostly electronic with some Orchestral elements) that's generally similar to the references will suit your submissions well. Please be sure your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and cutting-edge. If you choose to include vocalizations, they should be super compelling, well-performed, FEMALE vocals.

SUPER IMPORTANT: Although the references do not have Turkish-influence, this Library requests that you incorporate some traditional Turkish elements into your tracks to give them an authentic, "ancient origin" vibe, as well. These Turkish elements can include (but are not limited to): traditional Turkish instruments, melodies or chord progressions, or a Female Turkish vocalist performing non-lyrical vocalizations.

All submissions should be about 2 to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, 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.

This Library offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 Deal. You’ll get 50% of any sync fees and 100% of the Writer’s share. The Publisher will get 50% of sync fees and 100% of the Publisher’s Share. You’ll keep 100% of the original copyright and master recording. You must own or control the Master and Copyright to submit to this pitch. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. Include a photo and a bio. Time permitting, someone from the Library may screen some or all of the submissions. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday April 24th, 2022. TAXI # S220424RK

If it were up to me, I'd forward this one. The only concern I can think of is the difference in volume between yours and the milder Reznor references. I notice your first act ends a bit louder than the second act starts and the 2nd ends a bit quieter than the 3rd act starts. May I suggest bringing down the volume such that the build is slower with a slightly exponential increase from the middle of your 3rd act to the end. So now, the volume at the end of the 1st act and beginning of the second act are a continuation, rather than a climax and starting over, and the same between the 2nd and 3rd act.

The sounds used in the beginning sound a little synthy, but that is probably ok given the references, but there's quite a bit of organic sounding stuff too. For me, it's easy to have my ear/mind trick me into thinking something sounds organic, when others will tell me it sounds synthy, so just be sure that what is there is the type of sound you intend to have.

That's all I can think of to pick at, nice work!

Michael,

I will try what you suggest regarding the volume levels. Thank you very much for your comments. Best!
