It's not placed yet, it's not signed, but I already feel I'm a success with a simple forward.
Okay, next! lol Thanks Taxi. Ready to learn some more tricks.
EPIC, CINEMATIC INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that's distributed by Universal and has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following examples our client gave us to get yourself in the ballpark of what they need:
The Bravery by Sky Mubs (From 0:00 - 1:31)
Never Give Up by Walter Bergmann (From 0:00 - 1:18)
Quoting The Music Library: “These reference tracks are intended to inspire you and help you understand what we’re after. We recommend you use these listening examples only until they complete the first climax section."
Please submit well-composed Instrumental Cues that deliver an epic, cinematic vibe in the general ballpark of the references above. Submissions should have ONE clear compositional concept/motif per Instrumental Cue and should continuously build throughout. Stick to a singular mood so that your submissions are cohesive from top to bottom. Please avoid very prominent melodies, and instead use understated motifs and accents that complement the patterns/textures.
Your instrumentation can be Organic, Orchestral, Electronic, or a hybrid, as long as your Instrumental Cues have tons of epic energy that builds as they progress. Please be sure any instrumentation you use sounds realistic, and not stiff or synthetic. Top-notch programming, and the use of excellent samples and virtual instruments are all requirements for this pitch.
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are required. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: This company is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked with music libraries and music licensing companies in the past, and understand how those deals work. If you don't understand the drill on library deals, they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll retain 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Composition rights. Please send 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 Friday, July 24th, 2020. TAXI Dispatch # D200724EP
