Quirky And Unique Instrumentals For TV Commercials

[KentB]

HI Guys,

Here's something I've been working on for the listing below. I'm wondering if anyone might have any thoughts or suggestions for it.
It's called "Quirky Surf".

Thanks!

A RANGE of QUIRKY and UNIQUE INSTRUMENTALS FOR TV COMMERCIALS are needed by a successful Music Licensing Company for a bunch of TV Commercial pitches!

NOTE: We are also running a TAXI Listing for Songs for TV Commercials as #S200121AD, so please don’t confuse the two!

They’re on the hunt for Instrumentals in All Tempos that fall within the general range of (but not limited to) the following references they gave to us:

“New Soul" by Yael Naim (for Apple)

"We Are Young" by Fun (for Chevy/Sonic)

"I Want It " by 3 One Oh (for Google Pixel)

"1234" by Feist (for Ipad Nano)

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

NOTE: The client is open to hearing material in ALL commercially viable styles and genres as long as the Instrumentals are unique, memorable, and playful enough to cover a variety of advertisement scenarios!

Please submit well-composed Instrumentals that have a unique vibe, sound, and style that would work well in the context of Commercial Advertising. Your Instrumentals can range from stripped-down versions to fuller productions with more instrumentation. Whichever genre or sub-genre you’re pitching, the music should have genre-appropriate instrumentation and productions. Your submissions can also have a bit of a quirky quality to them, but don’t get carried away!

Your submissions should be 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-Faded, Button/Stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced acts or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Sounds like you had fun jamming this one!
In my opinion this will get returned
Can you tell us which one of the Ala's/Examples you think it sounds like?

[KentB]

Hi Cass!

I don't think it actually really sounds like it but I was thinking it might go on a playlist with "I Want It". I played it for someone and they said it sounded like a Motorola phone commercial. I have a feeling it might be too dark and surf rock for what they're looking for though. It definitely doesn't sound like any of the other references.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey Kent,
Great vibe on this tune. I’ve been working on something for this listing but went in a very different direction.
I ‘m fairly new but I like it.
The scrambled guitar solos where you get real fast might be too fast and in to high a register for advertising but
I would put it on my playlist for party tunes. (After paying for it of course)
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for checking it out! Thanks for the tip on the guitar licks. That's a good point. I was going to do some punch ins on those anyway.
Good luck with your track! Would love to hear it!

Take care,
Kent
