MINIMALIST INVESTIGATIVE Forward

Post by steveprobst » Sun Jun 09, 2019 5:00 pm

I "investigated" whether I could write one of these of a forwardable nature and Taxi said yes, there is proof that this is so. ha ha

MINIMALISTIC INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a successful International Music Licensing Company with worldwide distribution through BMG!

NOTE: This company has just started requesting music from TAXI's members, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet!

They’re looking for the kind of Tension inducing Instrumental Cues that could be heard in Crime Drama TV shows or Feature Films in the general range of the following references:

Crime Scene Music - Police Investigation Underscore Music

Detroit: Become Human - Investigation

Your submissions can have some sound design elements like sparse percussion and atmospheric pads – but remember, less is more. This pitch is all about setting the mood. Electronic and/or Orchestral Instrumentation can all work, but don’t add too many layers, just enough to give your Cue some forward momentum, and to keep it from sounding repetitive.

Quoting the Music Library: “We are looking for tracks that are minimalist, sparse, and somewhat simplistic. That does NOT mean boring, repetitive, or without evolvement. We prefer to have at least two instruments in a cue. So if you have a solo piece, add another instrument or two and send the newer version.”

All submissions should be about Two Minutes long (give or take) with non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Steve,

Great track! Loving how it slowly evolves, and consistently coveys emotion without getting boring or monotonous.

Great job!

Andrew
