"No Limit" (Finished Product)

Post by johndalenow » Sat Jul 09, 2022 11:50 pm

Anything glaringly wrong or inappropriate to convey "swagger?" What about the Bass in the third Act? Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

AGGRESSIVE HYBRID SOUND-DESIGN TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an EXCLUSIVE, LA-based Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for Movie Trailers, TV, Films, and Video Games.

This Company is looking for Instrumentals in the general ballpark of the following references we got directly from them:

Nobody Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8j6P8QtAYw

Wrath of Man Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo1kO8m2Nik

Although one of the references has vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this request.

Quoting the Company: "Themes should be powerful and full of swagger, attitude, and bad*ss style. Your pieces should be very percussive and rhythm heavy, and should not get too dark. Your pieces can include signature sounds like alarms, screams, clicks, beeps, stabs, braams, and gun foley, as well as synths."

Please submit well-produced Hybrid Trailer-style Instrumentals that feature Sound Design elements as their primary instrumentation. Impactful sound design arrangements that are generally similar to the references and incorporate the elements outlines above will suit your submissions best. Your submissions should have high-quality virtual sounds and samples, polished production, and a 3 "act" trailer structure that builds in momentum, dynamics, and intensity to a climactic ending. If you have tracks that are aggressive and could work for action trailers, this company wants to hear them!

TAXI Tip: Don't be afraid to layer up your instrumentation and sound design elements to get that epic, blockbuster sound and feel!

Submissions should be about 90 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, 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 Instrumentals as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. NO DEADLINE EXTENSIONS for this request. Sorry folks, but we're on an extremely tight deadline, so please don't even ask! Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, July 14th, 2022. TAXI # S220714AG

Very nice work here, John! This is not my area at all, but I like it a lot and think it compares well to the refs. Especially like the way it builds to the big edit point. Very cool, and good luck with it! Doug
