Do I shoot for the minute, or the 90 seconds?
THIS LISTING IS FOR ROAD RALLY ATTENDEES ONLY. Please do not submit to this Listing unless you’ve registered for the Road Rally and will be in the Grand Ballroom for the “Does Your Music Work in This Scene?” panel on Saturday, November 7 at 3:45 pm. The best submissions will be selected by our screeners, and the Music Supervisor will play FIVE of them with the scene during the panel. The audience will vote for what they like best, the Supervisor will pick his favorite, and then he’ll play what they actually used in the show! We think this panel is going to be one of the most informative in the history of the Road Rally. Don’t miss it if you want to get some real insight into how Music Supervisors choose what they use! See the Listing below:
CASINO BACKGROUND INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Hollywood Music Supervisor for a scene in a Hit TV Show that appeals to the 18-49 demographic. The show’s characters are in their 20s and 30s, both male and female, and they’re in a Las Vegas casino. The Supervisor needs Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that can range from Oceans Eleven-type music, to classic Rat Pack instrumentals, to beat-driven EDM… maybe even a hybrid of Rat Pack and EDM. Use your imagination, and give him Instrumentals that are at least 90 seconds long, with good, emotionally upbeat energy that would appeal to high rollers, while out for a night of gambling in Vegas, baby!

Quoting the Supervisor: “The characters are at the roulette table. Everyone is trying to keep one of their friends from gambling so that he doesn't lose the bet with another friend. He can't resist, he bets it all! NEEDED: Instrumental: Mid/Uptempo, start with some build and then kicks into gear, good energy, high roller, feel good, possibly Oceans Eleven influence.”
Don’t overlook the build that kicks into gear, but don’t take too long to get there as the scene is only about a minute long. Don’t give him anything too busy or frenetic – leave some room for the dialog! The music isn’t the star of the scene, but it does have to create a believable casino setting!
