"dramatic news" music - listening example?

Post by gitarrero » Tue Jan 15, 2008 9:11 am

hellas,..that's the listing:***A NY-based Music Publisher/Library (with studios also in Nashville and Los Angeles) needs great and very current-sounding DRAMATIC NEWS INSTRUMENTALS for placement as underscore for News-type programs. Think along the lines of shows such as 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Extra, etc. Sixty seconds to 3 minutes is the recommended length for this pitch. They've placed music in shows on HBO, ABC, NBC, FX, the Discovery Channel, the Sundance Film Channel, and the Learning Channel, as well as in films produced by Focus Features, Red House Pictures, and USA Films, among others. They asked us to be extra selective when screening for this project. This company offers a standard publishing contract, where they assume the publishing rights to the track and the composer keeps the writer's share of the income/royalties. License fees are split with the composer on a per project basis. ****..my question: has anybody a good listening example of such "dramatic news" music?as you know - I'm european & don't have access to us-based tv stations.thanks a lot in advance for any help,martin

http://www.megatrax.com/core/customfx_n ... .cfmListen to the more "underscore/background" cues in those montages, as opposed to the main themes, which doesn't seem to be the focus of this listing.And also the more dramatic cues of course...HTH,matto
