ORCHESTRAL TENSION Forward

Post by steveprobst » Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:51 pm

I suppose I could write a lot more guitar stuff being a player, but these other genres are so much more fun. Nice to get a nod on this one. I realize how much work goes into a true-sounding orchestral piece. Basic staccato string parts are easier for a novice like me. I used East/West Soundsonline Composer Cloud. Thanks for the challenge Taxi! :D

ORCHESTRAL TENSION INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Library that has just started requesting music from TAXI's members. It’s a good time to get in on the ground floor and build a relationship with this library.

They need a bunch of Orchestral-based Tension Cues in a variety of tempos and styles. Please listen to the references below to get a general idea of what they need:

Reference 1

Reference 2

Please send in well-composed Cues that have a distinctly TENSE style and sound and are also stylistically "on point" with the references above. Your instrumentation can be solely Orchestral, or you can utilize a hybrid of other genres combined with Orchestral elements. Be sure to craft your Cues around simple, tension-inducing melodic content while adding new layers of instrumentation as they progress to add dynamics and some forward momentum that builds to a climax. Think of what you'd hear in sports TV Promos, and you'll likely be on the right track!

Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Broadcast Quality is needed.

It's not what goes into your music that's important, it's what comes out the speakers
