Forward: QUIRKY, ORCHESTRAL DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES

Post by steveprobst » Thu Jun 17, 2021 3:34 pm

This one has been forwarded 4 times. I am taking note of the screener's comment for future tracks:
I think you could improve this song by
"Consider bringing down the velocities on the pizzicato - sustained high velocities are not idiomatic for strings, a gentler approach sounds more natural."



Lots of QUIRKY ORCHESTRAL DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Music Licensing Company with a large list of placements in Films, TV Commercials, and A-List TV Shows.

NOTE: This Company has signed lots of TAXI members over many years and nailed down lots of placements for them!

This Company is looking for Instrumental Cues that could be found on a playlist with the following references:

"Dramedy Story" by Kaptain Music

Tyler Cameron's Massage Prank | The Bachelor (from 3:00 to 3:58)

"Sneaky Snitch" by Kevin MacLeod

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company has specifically requested that you only submit pieces that have distinct, complementary A and B melodic sections. Be sure that when the sectional change happens, the mood and/or emotion stays cohesive.

Please send well-composed Dramedy Instrumental Cues with an overall light-hearted, quirky vibe and sound. Your submissions should feature top-notch Orchestral instrumentation – please be sure that any virtual orchestral instrumentation you use sounds like the real thing and not dated or obviously MIDI-driven. High-quality production is a must for this request, as well. You can create a sense of forward momentum and dynamics within your Cues by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress.

TAXI Tip: Keep your Cues on the simpler side so they don't distract from dialog – you're not trying to win composer of the year, here!

Submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take, and have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Thanks 4 times? Ha ha

Got an intersting critique to improve this "Consider bringing down the velocities on the pizzicato"
I'll definitely take note on the next ones.

I read that piece of advice. What value(s) are you using, at the moment?

Very well elaborated imho. Congrats to that. I can't subscribe to the critique point with the velocities though. But I listened only on cheap speakers....
