Sad Piano
I have written this for the following listing. Please comment if you will.
https://soundcloud.com/user-913241419/s ... 3c666e71e7
SAD STRINGS & PIANO 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:
"Reflections" by Toshifumi Hinata
"Je te laisserai des mots" by Patrick Watson
"Experience" by Ludovico Einaudi & Daniel Hope
Although one of the references has vocals, please submit Instrumental Cues only for this pitch.
Please submit modern Piano and String Instrumental Cues that could pull at the listeners' heartstrings. Craft your Cues around a singular motif, and create a sense of forward momentum and dynamics by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress. If you plan on using virtual piano or string instruments, they should sound like the real thing and not dated, stiff, or obviously MIDI-driven. Please be sure that your production is high-quality and current-sounding, as well.
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.

Re: Sad Piano
Is there anything I can do to improve the chances of it being forwarded/used?

Re: Sad Piano
I think it sounds great, but I know that screeners and libraries often look for cues to have a few edit points, so if you can work those in it couldn't hurt.karafinman wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 4:01 pmIs there anything I can do to improve the chances of it being forwarded/used?

Re: Sad Piano
The mood seems very close to the refs. Not sure it fulfills the "singular motif" requirement, though.

Re: Sad Piano
Very good point about the singular motif. I think the uniform chord progression might make up for any differences in the melodic line.

Re: Sad Piano
I think you have the mood and expression of the listing nailed.
My only comment is that early in the piece there's an arco cello (?) note that hangs on and on - what Michael Laskow likes to call the "ten-foot bow" effect. I don't know, but that might be enough for the screener to grant the dreaded "MIDI-sounding" critique. If you have time, review the string parts to ensure there are no notes that are inexplicably long. Cue the X files theme

Re: Sad Piano
Thank you for those notes about the strings. I will go back and check that note and add more reverb.
