DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL Cues

Post by steveprobst » Mon Oct 07, 2019 12:13 pm

I based this one on Dramedy and TaxiTV "Master" Steve Barden cue example for a 2 minute pitch. I was running out of time, sort of speak, to get it to 2 minutes so I set my sites on a 90 second pitch. This was my hardest one I've done to date. Glad I could get it somewhat presentable for a forward.

DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Top-Tier Music Library that gets tons of big Feature Film and TV placements!

They’re looking for Dramedy Cues in a wide range of styles – from quirky and mischievous, to playful, sneaky, and/or quizzical. Please listen to the following references to give yourself an idea of what they’re looking for:

“KUWTK” (From 0:39 - 1:04)

Funny Background Music

Please submit well-crafted Dramedy Instrumental Cues that are built around a central melodic theme or motif. Keep things dynamic and forward-moving by layering instruments in and out as your pieces progress. Avoid submitting anything that sounds busy as it could interfere with a scene’s dialogue.

NOTE: This Music Library has plenty of ordinary Dramedy Cues in their catalog, so feel free to be original and send them material that’s a bit creative and different – but nothing too radical, of course!

All submissions should be about 90 seconds long (give or take). Solid edit points and Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Please do not copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.

This one definitely made me smile! Good job, Steve.

P.S. Go easy on the "Master" business. ;)
