Orchestral/Dramatic forward

Post by fusilierb » Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:08 am

Just got word of my 3rd forward. Thanks to Dave Walton for recommending this listing!Here is the tune:http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... m=trueThis was the listing:ORCHESTRAL/DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTALS for Film Trailers and various Film/TV placements are wanted by a very successful Production Music Library who has placements with ABC, CBS, NBC, WB, Disney, Discovery, Lifetime, Fox, USA, etc. (to name just a few). They need to hear real instruments or EXTREMELY convincing MIDI tracks. In the words of the Music Director, "We shun bad MIDI like a plague...". Be sure that you send in arrangements and performances that sound authentic and fantastic! They want every track to have a succinct and natural ending - no abrupt cut-offs or fades. There are no specific edits required for this one, but be sure each piece is 1-3 minutes in length - you'll also want to be sure you have the ability to quickly turn around edited segments upon request, should the company contact you. They like to hear a lot of movement in the pieces, with dramatic/suspenseful variation and build. Broadcast quality is necessary, though excellent home recordings should be fine.

When I first loaded up the trumpet cresc and played the opening chord I was immediately struck by how "matrixy" it was. Loved that score, so went with it. Good ear.
