Forward >> CINEMATIC ORCHETSRAL/HYBRID INSTRUMENTALS

Post by steveprobst » Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:47 am

Wow, almost put this one away for another day, but kept on.
Screener said to make this one better, lose the choir "sounds too midi-driven and takes away from the quality of the track" Hmmm, interesting.
This started as an exercise in chord inversions. lol


Several CINEMATIC ORCHESTRAL or ORCHESTRAL/HYBRID INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for content creators as well as TV shows and Film projects!

They’re searching for Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references below:

"The Journey" by Philipp Klein

"Automa" by Mattia Turzo

BMW Commercial

"Dream Is Collapsing" by Han Zimmer

IMPORTANT: They do NOT want Instrumentals with lots of "stops" and "starts." Instead, create developmental “arcs” that build throughout by layering instrumentation in and out as your pieces progress.

Please submit well-produced Instrumentals composed of Orchestral, Organic, or Electronic Instrumentation - or a hybrid of any combination of the three! Your submissions should have well-crafted melodies, compelling rhythms, and an overall cinematic vibe and sound. If you're using any virtual instruments or samples, be sure that they are state-of-the-art and high-quality as nothing dated or obviously quantized will work, here. If you could imagine your Instrumentals in film or TV scenes, trailers, or promos, you could be onto something!

TAXI Tip: We think it'd be a good idea to stick to one central motif, mood, and style throughout your Instrumentals.

Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length – a little bit longer is fine. Non-Faded/Buttoned, Stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to sign an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with other libraries or publishers for this pitch. You must own or control your Master and Composition to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals 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 Tuesday, October 27th, 2020. TAXI # S201027CH

Congratulations, it has a lovely sound and builds perfectly without you really noticing. I too had a track with the same comments about choirs from this screener, I removed the choir and now it was forwarded for this same pitch so I’m glad I listened.

Good luck with the next stage!

Bravo, Steve! Really lovely tune, there. Choirs are a difficult beast to deal with

Very nice, Steve! I love it!
By the way, do I still hear a little bit of residual choir coming through, around 1:40 ?

Thanks Peter. I worried actually about the "quiet to such a strong ending" for these kind of pitches, but let it fly. Pesky choirs!
