Forward > INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS

Post by steveprobst » Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:55 am

A piano/delay "instrument" I made from scratch for a previous pitch came in handy for this one. :)



INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS 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 Instrumentals that could be found on a playlist with the following references:

"404.2 IRC Fantasy" by Mac Quayle

"Vacation Days" by Thomas Newman

"The Crime Scene" by Kaae & Batz

Please send well-composed Instrumentals that could help establish a suspenseful, tense mood in a variety of investigative scenes and scenarios. You'd be wise to stick to a singular motif throughout your pieces, and create a sense of forward momentum and dynamics by layering instrumentation in and out as they progress. Your Cues can be composed around Electronic and/or Orchestral Instrumentation – dark, droning synths, moody orchestral arrangements, or a combination of both. Whichever approach you decide to take, your production and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be top-notch and modern.

TAXI Tip: We suggest trying to keep your submissions on the simpler side, melodically. Your job is more about establishing a tense mood rather than winning "Composer of the Year"!

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.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split all upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll 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. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. All Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021. TAXI Dispatch # D211222TN
