"Peek Around the Corner" - dramedy

Yep, we keep trying ...

ORCHESTRAL DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Licensing Company with a HUGE list of placements in Films, TV Commercials, and A-List TV Shows.

NOTE: This Company has signed lots of TAXI members over many years and nailed down lots of placements for them!

This Company is looking for Instrumental Cues that could be found on a playlist with the following references:

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (From 0:59 - 1:55) - https://youtu.be/x4XWN5cohTY?t=59

RHOSLC Highlights S1 Ep6 (From 1:35 - 2:00) - https://youtu.be/9vnwMR-VCKo?t=95

"Sneaky Snitch" by Kevin MacLeod - https://youtu.be/l3_Fh24AGBE

Please submit well-produced Instrumental Cues that set the tone for quirky, light, dramatic scenes in Reality TV shows. Your submissions should have solid motifs and high-quality Orchestral instrumentation. Please craft your Cues around a singular motif and mood, and create a sense of dynamics and forward momentum by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress. Be sure to avoid submitting anything that sounds too busy, as it could interfere with a scene’s dialog. Your production should be polished and any virtual instruments or samples you use need to be top-notch.

Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take, and have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs. Please send as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. All Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022. TAXI # S220419DD

This one finally sounds like music to me. What I hear is a ukelele cue which sometimes is sad, sometimes mysterious. I would classify it as novelty, not so much orchestral dramedy, but maybe other opinions exist.

I suspect Stradivarius would be upset - we made his violin sound like a uke!

Thank you for the listen, Tom!

Sounding better, but it still sounds a bit meandering...no real musical direction. I also hear some distortion starting with the hit at 1:16... might be a soundcloud thing. The drum sounds are a little wonky, not sure they are needed.

But back to the music, there's not really a form. Try to keep it simple, create a four bar or eight bar theme, vary it a bit, do a different them, then return to the original theme.
