Film/TV/Instrumental submissions

Post by bschmidt » Tue Sep 25, 2007 1:23 am

Hello All - when a music supervisor (through a TAXI listing) is asking for instrumental submissions, is it all right to put together a montage of 2-3 similarly styled 30-second clips and treat as one submission?Thank you, b

When they ask for instrumentals, they want pieces they can put in their production as is. They may do editing (they probably will) but they will want a complete piece.Also note: don't fade out. Most of these listings want "button" endings. Ring-outs are typically OK but no fade-outs as on an album.Mazz

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!
