Forward > DRAMATIC, ORCHESTRAL - Based INSTRUMENTAL CUES

[steveprobst]

Honestly, I submitted in hopes of getting some good feedback. Not sure on a forward. Had worries it was too much "film score".

To make it better, critique said takeout intro and start right in. But I did noticed the pitch example had an intro, so I wrote a 4 second one in.



DRAMATIC ORCHESTRAL-Based INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a very successful Music Licensing Company with worldwide distribution in over 50 countries that lands hundreds of placements a year – many of them on Major Networks!

This Company is on the hunt for Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

American Ninja Warrior (from :00 to :37)

Kitchen Nightmares (from 17:48 - 18:26)

Survivor (from 6:20 to 6:56)

Please submit top-tier Orchestral-Based Instrumental Cues that could add dramatic intensity and energy to Reality TV competition shows. Your instrumentation should be Orchestral focused, and some sound design or hybrid elements are okay to include, as well. However, this Library asks to avoid any instrumentation that could give the Cues a tribal feel. 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. This Library is open to hearing pieces that are tension-based as well as more epic Cues – check out the references to hear what we mean. Please be sure that your production and any virtual instrumentation you use are high-quality and fresh – nothing stiff, synthetic, or MIDI sounding will work for this request. If you have pieces that would work well in the context of dramatic scenes in competition reality TV shows, this company wants to hear them!

Your submissions should be about 90 seconds to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, 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 TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, March 17th, 2022. TAXI # S220317CD

How it’s supposed to be. Bravo! My only critique: I could imagine more percussion (cymbals & sticks) in the upper range in the second half to give it even more dramatic flavor.

Good luck with it!

Thanks! As I listen again, I believe I remember thinking the same thing but was concerned it would be too prominent an element for the pitch.
