ACOUSTIC-Driven, SINGER-SONGWRITER INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a great Music Library with a glorious and long list of TV, Film, and Commercial placements. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that would fit well on a playlist with the following references:
“5 Years Time” by Noah and the Whale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-VOTcatok8
“From Afar” by Vance Joy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYUcqmpHJbk
“I Feel It All” by Feist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-iAS18rv68
Even though the references have vocals, they’re looking for Instrumental Cues only for this pitch! Give them well-crafted Instrumental Cues that rhythmically and melodically create an emotionally upbeat mood that would work for a wide range of sync placements. Your Instrumentals can range from very simple tracks with just a Ukulele, handclaps, and a whistle; to small acoustic-based ensembles; and all the way up to more fully-produced Instrumentals. As always, layer your instruments in and out as your Cue progresses to give it forward momentum, some dynamic interest, and prevent it from sounding repetitive or linear. You’d also be smart to avoid anything overly busy or frenetic that could distract from dialog.
All submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Solid edit points and buttoned/stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Please do not copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
They offer an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of 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 any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - Short Critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Thursday, November 30th, 2017. TAXI #Y171130SI
