"Beginning Of The End" (Slow-Burn, Hybrid Trailer)

[johndalenow]

Comments anyone?
Still some work remaining, but is the "format" consistent with what they're asking for? EG: "The tracks should follow the Intro > Build > Climax > Climax II (optional) > Outro structure."

EPIC, SLOW-BURN HYBRID TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an EXCLUSIVE, top-tier Music Licensing Company with placements in huge Film Trailers, Video Games, and TV Shows.

NOTE: We previously ran a similar request as TAXI Listing #S220210SB, but the Music Supervisor wants to hear MORE material. If you submitted to listing #S220210SB, please send different material this time around. This Company is fairly NEW to requesting music from TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This is a great opportunity to create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome company.

This Company is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Rattle and Run" by 2WEI

"Game of Power" by Iliya Aziz

Quoting the Company: "We're after powerful music with a mellow beginning. The tracks should follow the Intro > Build > Climax > Climax II (optional) > Outro structure. The intro needs to be minimal and slow, with very few elements that build to an edit point. The second act should start to introduce the next elements, simple rhythms and pulses before another edit point. The climax should unleash the full melody with all the powerful instruments, push onto the Climax II if needed where you will add to the power with bigger hits and higher octaves. Ease the track out with a gentle outro. Think of that outro as the thing you hear in Trailers when the voice-over says, 'Opening January 28th.' It's sort of a coda after the climax. Most importantly build intense tension and release as a huge epic climax. Work with a melodic idea and flesh out with massive brass, climbing strings, heavy percussion, unique sound design and scorching guitars. Choirs may be added for dramatic value also. Think epic battlegrounds and game boss fights."

Please submit top-notch Hybrid Trailer-Style Instrumentals that start minimally and slow-burn to a huge, climactic ending. Your submissions should have compelling motifs, excellent arrangements, high-impact instrumentation, and exude tons of dark, epic energy. Please follow the desired structure that the Company has outlined above. Sticking with one melodic motif/idea per submission and gradually building upon it is recommended so that your pieces remain cohesive throughout. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual sounds, samples, or software you use are cutting-edge and of the highest quality.

TAXI Tip: Don't be afraid to layer up your instrumentation to create a huge, blockbuster sound!

NOTE: This Company is more interested in composers who can deliver full albums in this style than people who only produce one or two tracks every now and then. We suspect that if they hear a couple of your tracks and love what you're doing, they'll ask you to send them more music on an ongoing basis.

All submissions should be about 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, button/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples 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. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share, and you'll get 100% of the Writer's share. You must own or control your Master and Composition rights. Since this is an Exclusive deal, please be sure your material is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumentals 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 (PDT) on Tuesday, March 29th, 2022. TAXI # S220329EP

Nice job John, I think the format is there. For what it's worth, you might take another look at your strings at 0:42 and 0:53. A more natural decay rather than bringing them down with the faders could be considered. Your brass toward the end is pretty 'upfront' and has more of a brass quintet sound rather than a full aggressive brass section. Maybe more reverb and layering here?

Just some thoughts, good luck!

Thank you for your comments. I've enhanced the strings and took off the faders at 42-56. I need to think more about the brass section. Thanks again. Best! John
