What do they mean by :15 second tracks

Post by bobbyf » Fri May 18, 2012 9:37 pm

Hi,

Hope you're well.

I just came across the listing looking for SIMPLE and BRIGHT instrumental music for TV and Film.

I was wondering if someone could tell me what they mean by:

"They want :15 (fifteen second) tracks that begin PLAYFUL and PIQUE the viewer's CURIOSITY ("What IS this product?") and then "RESOLVE" or CHANGE at around the :10 mark into something more LUXURIOUS or CAREFREE."

Does that literally mean they want an entire piece to be :15 secs? Or that you can cut it up and get :15 sec clips that are usable in and of themselves? Something else entirely?

Have the same question about the change at :10 secs. Is that in the beginning of the song and every time the song goes back to the verse?

Thanks!

Bobby

Long intros are highly discouraged on this one :lol:

Unless the intro is 15 seconds long. :)

No 'Da Capo, Al Fine' on this one! :)

Bobby, if I can intrude & throw in my question in your post...

I was wondering if ya'll had understood this listing to be just a single instrument (similar to those described) or a track featuring that instrument over other stuff (like rhythm, etc.). I'm leaning towards the solo, but just wanted another opinion...

Thanks!

Christian

How dare you Christian! ;)

I understood it to be more than one instrument.
