Organic Underscore feedback request : )

Post by TylerColten » Wed Jun 06, 2018 6:23 pm

Any thoughts on if these two pieces would work for this listing? They don't mention instrumentation at all so it makes me wonder if they would... Thank you!

ORGANIC UNDERSCORE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful, Non-Exclusive Music Library. They’re searching for a bunch of Instrumentals in a variety of moods, styles, and tempos that would fall in the general stylistic ballpark of the references below:

Theme from “To Kill a Mockingbird” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t98LWNwUhI

A Beautiful Mind Soundtrack – Main Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr18I1PCECg

IMPORTANT NOTE: These examples above were likely scored to picture and go through different moods, tempos, etc. because of scene changes. For the purpose of this request, you’d be very wise to stick to a singular motif and mood throughout your entire piece, so your submission is cohesive from top to bottom. If your piece goes through different moods, tempos, and styles, it’s going to be nearly impossible to use it in a scene.

Give them well-crafted Instrumentals that effectively deliver a textured display of instruments that blend in and out of each other to create a unique piece of engaging Underscore. If you’re using any virtual instruments, they need to sound incredibly convincing! Please avoid submitting anything that sounds stiff, synthetic, or MIDI-driven. The more authentic sounding, the better! This is the perfect opportunity to show off your composition and arrangement skills, but you should still convey one emotion and mood from beginning to end. Having a developmental “arc” that makes your piece feel like it’s going somewhere is a good idea. Building as it goes is another way to say that ;-)

Submissions should be at least 2 Minutes long, with Non-Faded endings and a natural decay/ring out. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or on CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Thursday, June 7th, 2018. TAXI #Y180607OU

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Some of what you pointed out I was thinking the same. Those were written for something different but I have had those pieces be Forwarded for a couple listings that said "Organic" so I thought maybe....? I've definitely had Forwards where the listing emphasized on "Organic" and I was using mostly ambient electronic w/ some piano and guitar. I think one of the trickiest things I've learned w/ Taxi listings over the years is interpreting how they are worded and what they are really after. Thank you for the feedback!

Great music, but they did specify 'organic' ie sounding like a real orchestra. The first one will likely get returned.

The cello in Radiance Of Resistance is fantastic!
