2 Forwards >> FUN, QUIRKY DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES
Several FUN, QUIRKY DRAMEDY-Style INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a premier Production Music Library with an extensive history of great placements!
They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"Hidden Agenda" by Kevin MacLeod
"Funny Music Instrumental"
"You Don't Know What You're Talking About" by Steve Barden
Please submit well-produced Dramedy-style Instrumental Cues that have a fun, quirky vibe and sound. Craft your Cues around a singular motif and mood, and create a sense of forward momentum and dynamics by layering instruments in and out as your Cue progresses. We think instruments like pizzicato strings, piano, glockenspiel, bassoon, etc., etc., etc. could work well, but don't limit yourself to just those ideas. If you're using virtual instruments or samples, be sure that they don't sound dated, overly quantized, or obviously MIDI-driven.
TAXI Tip: They're looking for stuff that's light and fun, so please avoid submitting anything dark, sad, or melancholy!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are strongly encouraged for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced Cues in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This company offers 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 to other Libraries or Catalogs. 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 (PST) on Thursday, October 22nd, 2020. TAXI # S201022QR
