CALMING, MEDITATION-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by well-known, NON-Exclusive Music Library with a very long list of TV, Film, and Commercial placements. They’re on the hunt for Full-Length Instrumentals (not Cues) that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

Meditation, Relaxation Music:

Healing Music, Meditation Music:

NOTE: Please do NOT include any sound effects in your music such as animal sounds, waterfalls, wind, etc.

Give them soothing material that has a reflective and tranquil quality that can put a listener at ease. Some light percussive instrumentation and electronic elements are fine, but please make sure your Instrumental is peaceful, soothing, and relaxing, overall. They’re open to both Contemporary and Traditional styles of Meditation music as long as it’s calming and relaxing from start to finish. Quoting the Music Library: “Please do not submit anything that’s jarring… give us just really calm music that could be used for relaxation, meditation, massages, reiki, etc.”

Your Instrumentals should be at least 2 to 3 minutes in length, give or take. If they go to 4 or 5 minutes, that’s okay! Non-faded endings with a natural decay or ring out should work best for this pitch, but if you’ve got a great piece that ends with a fade, it’s probably fine.

I’m soothed! Almost went back to sleep. Let us know if you submit? I love this style of music.

That said, the dropout at 1:55 was a little too pronounced for me. Not too fast—I liked the drop but it felt like something could have been lingering underneath in a bigger way to make it clear the song wasn’t over, which it definitely sounded like initially. I feel like I’m an authority on this matter because I get massages and listen attentively to the music

Hi Duane.
Very nice and relaxing track. I agree with Eryn regarding the drop out, but other than that good luck with the listing!

Beautiful track,Duane.

Agree with the drop out comments earlier .. but also my ear hears a little too sudden transition to the Em chord at 1:09 (only).. maybe make the proceeding chord a little more legato?

anyway my .02.. sounds.. great...should..submit...

Here is an updated version. I added a little something under the drop, think it works better. This is the version I plan to submit.

Oh yes, that feels much better/more cohesive to my ears. I wish you much success with it! I’m going to drink some tea and listen to it to relax—finally got the kiddo down to sleep, so it’s mom time!

Hi Duane,

Belated I know, sorry - silly season and all that. Very nice and very relaxing track. There's a real sense of space to it, which I think comes largely from you having the main body of sound down fairly low, with some sparkles up quite high, and not much in between. Coupled with a very encompassing stereo image. Whatever the case, it works.

Good luck with it!
Bruce.

Thanks Bruce & Eryn. Let’s hope it makes the cut

Cheers my friends,

DT
