[Cale]

Hi Everyone,

I have a few days to tweak before the deadline so any thoughts on my 'Slow-Burn Trailer' would be appreciated!

Thanks!

The listing:

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

"Mission Zero" by 2WEI

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!

...not the super expert on tailer music here but I'm wondering if it's not too little hybrid and too much orchestral only? I like the composition but IMO the mix is lacking punch and clarity in the low end.

good luck

Chris, great observations, thank you. I'm going to look at adding some different hybrid elements and take a closer listen to the low end.
