QUIRKY DRAMEDY Forward

Post by steveprobst » Sat May 09, 2020 7:26 am

Well, 4th time for this one.
When it gets signed some day I guess they will have ..."arrived" :lol:



A BUNCH of QUIRKY and HUMOROUS DRAMEDY-Style INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a globally recognized Production Music Library with an awesome history of great placements!

They’re searching for a lot of Mid-To-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of these examples:

Funny Bone - Upbeat Background Music

"Desperate Elves" by Steve Barden

Funny Background Music | Silly And Awkward Comedy Music

Please send fun Dramedy Instrumental Cues that could work well under quirky and funny scenes. Build your Cues around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as they progress to create dynamics, forward momentum, and a developmental arc. You can use a variety of instrumentation, as long as your Cues sound quirky and a bit silly, overall – but don’t get too carried away!

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 examples in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast quality is needed.

They offer an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share and they’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control 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 and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Saturday, May 2nd, 2020. TAXI Dispatch # D200502QR

Congrats Steve! Very well done!
I think if you add sleigh bells this may also pass as a Christmas piece. It has that kind of feel to me. Just an observation!
Great work!
...forgive me child if I do not know; where we came from or where we go. I always thought that I'd know more, but I've never been through this life before.

Thank you and thanks for asking!
I got to go back and check out what I did on it.
Back when all I had was Logic libraries, I used Legacy>Jam Pack Symphony Orch>Strings. This was the old not the newer logic insts.
I'm taking note how I used staccato on top of Pizzi just for the Bass section.
Maybe I'll go back and use this template again for another! lol
