Desert Voices (Stomp, Clap Cue)

ANTHEMIC STOMP-CLAP INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an EXCLUSIVE, LA-based Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for Movie Trailers, TV, Films, and Video Games.

This Company is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from them:

WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.

"The Drum" by The Seige

"London Bridge" by Fergie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKDaogkvGgg

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumental Cues only for this pitch.

NOTE: We realize that these references are pretty different from each other genre-wise. We think you can get pretty creative in your approach, instrumentation, and mood; but an obvious, anthemic stomp-clap beat should be the base of your pieces.

Please submit modern Instrumental Cues with anthemic stomp-clap rhythms. Craft your Cues around a singular motif and mood, and create a sense of forward momentum and dynamics by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and fresh.

Submissions should be about 90 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, August 1st, 2021. TAXI # S210801AP

Hey, John, as someone who knows absolutely nothing about the genre but listened to the refs and yours, I would say basically YEAH! The one thing I would look at is the vocal sounding loop that starts around 2:00 and goes to around 2:48. To my taste, it goes on too long with no variation.

Thanks for the comment, Michael. I tried to mimic a vocal melody, but perhaps it's a bit overdone. I'll re-visit the idea.

Best, brother!
