I had written few of these for a prior dispatch listing and work got so crazy I missed the deadline. Please offer feedback on the 'Virology' titled tracks.
I don't think they are spot on with the two reference tracks - if anything they learn toward the 'Plague Inc' track and the electronic with some strings. I did spend some time watching some pandemic documentaries and letting that inform some of the style. Did a few with building endings as I spotted a few of that style. Need to shorten up Virology-2 as it is 2:11. Virology 1.2 leans more toward the Cliff Martinez reference. Probably going to get rid of #4 or need more work on the strings section in the middle to tame them down.
Thanks,
Sam

A whole bunch of Sci-Fi, Lab-Style TENSION INSTRUMENTALS and/or Cues are needed for “pandemic projects” by a successful Music Library with tons of Film and TV placements.
This company is proactively stocking up for the onslaught of TV shows, feature films, documentaries, and cable news specials being written now and going into production when the “all clear” (or mostly clear) sounds. As you might imagine, there will be a boatload of these projects coming up, and that means this company will need a hefty stash of music to satisfy the demand.
Please listen to the following references to get in the general stylistic ballpark of what they’re looking for:
"Bat and Pig" by Cliff Martinez
Plague Inc Evolved
If you really, really want to be at the top of your game, watch all these movies and TV shows, and take notes when your hear music! It will help pass the time while you’re cooped up, and you’ll be a pandemic-music-making genius when you’re done! Seriously, do it now, and tell your family to leave you alone because you’re “working,” lol!
Please submit well-crafted Sci-Fi, Lab-Style Tension Instrumentals and/or Cues that would work well in scenes where scientists in white lab coats are working ‘round-the-clock looking into microscopes and Petri dishes trying to come up with a world-saving vaccine. We’re not going to tell you how to compose these, but you might try experimenting with a very subtle (soft, muted, no top-end) percussive, mildly arpeggiated approach and some pulsing synths. Add some unsettling tension, and voila!
You’d be smart to stick to a singular motif throughout. Your goal is not to score the film or show. They’ve already got somebody to do that. Your job is to create music that editors can fly into a scene, and it works well because it doesn’t go through the changes that a score likely would!
Submissions should be about 90 Seconds long, give or take. Non-faded endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
