NEWS THEME INSTRUMENTALS - Forward

Post by levelone » Thu Feb 06, 2025 12:36 pm

Hey Guys,

I received a forward for the News Theme Instrumental Listing with some very nice comments from the screener. Track and Listing details below

******************

Track:

We Interrupt This Program

https://soundcloud.com/level-one-music/ ... al_sharing

******************

Listing:

Lots of NEWS THEME INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a well-established Los Angeles-based production house/library with a very long and successful track record of tv, film, and advertising placements.
This Company is searching for Instrumentals that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following examples:
"Breaking News Music" by MFVL
"NEWS" by Wavelayers Music
"News Intro Music" by MFVL
Please submit original News Theme Instrumentals with the type of sound that you would hear on a major news broadcast or a primetime news program! This Company is looking for tracks that have a gripping, confident sound, feel dynamic and professional, and convey urgency and credibility. Your submissions should include memorable motifs, excellent production, catchy melodic hooks, and solid arrangements with plenty of development and interest throughout. Orchestral and organic-based instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best, but some minimal electronic instrumentation could work as well. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, current-sounding, and very realistic if they are organic-based.
Your submissions need to be at least 2 minutes long and no longer than 4 minutes (give or take). Tracks need to have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, 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.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. Time-permitting, someone from the Company may screen some or all of the submissions. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Monday, December 30th, 2024. TAXI # S241230NW

It has all the drama you'd expect from a prime-time news theme. Nice one!!

Great work! Sounds like the "Avengers" theme, which I adore. My submission was rejected, too much reverb made it sound "dated" according to the screener.

Really dig the title - might have forwarded it on that alone, were I a Screener,
and not just a Lurker. CONGRATS and good luck with the placement rewards.
Cheers,
Peter

This track might be a good pitch for a cop/police drama/espionage type listing.
Your mileage may vary.
