PULSING INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS - 3 Forwards

Post by levelone » Sun Apr 09, 2023 9:28 am

Hey guys,

I submitted 3 tracks to this listing and was happy to recieve 3 forwards with some nice comments from the screener.

Tracks:

Listing:

PULSING INVESTIGATIVE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a top-notch Production Music Library that's landed tons of placements in TV Shows, Films, and Commercials.
NOTE: This Library is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI, so this is a great opportunity to create a new relationship for you and your music with an award-winning Company!
This Library is searching for suspenseful Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"3.3_5-vengeancep4ct.sib" by Mac Quayle
"Investigation (Connor)" by Nima Fakhrara
"Technically, Missing" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
"Leave It or Take It" by Bleeding Fingers
"Race to the Finish" by Kenneth E. Belcher
Please send them well-composed Instrumental Cues that evoke a suspenseful, tension-filled vibe and feel that is oozing with dark, moody energy that could work well for a variety of investigative scenes in TV shows and Films. Your submissions should have engaging motifs, pulsing rhythms, and solid arrangements centered around a central motif with layers, forward motion, dynamics, and interest. Your instrumentation can range from Orchestral-based to Electronic to a Hybrid-style approach and should fall in the general wheelhouse of the references. Whichever approach you choose to take, please be sure your production is polished and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and state-of-the-art. If you have tracks that could enhance, complement, and create an overall uneasy tone and mood, send them in!
All submissions should be about 90 seconds to 3 minutes long, give or take. Clean beginnings and Non-Faded, buttoned endings are required so that no extra editing work is needed on the client’s side to make the piece work in a project. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This client will need alternative mixes, shortened versions (60, 30, and 15 seconds), and STEMs, but not yet! ALL YOU NEED TO SEND RIGHT NOW ARE FULL VERSIONS. Please have the alternative versions on-hand and ready to send at a moment's notice if the client contacts you. If the company DOES contact you, they will ask that your alternative mixes, shortened versions, and STEMs are delivered to them as 24 bit, 48 000 Hz, 2-channel stereo WAV files. But again, for your initial submission to TAXI, all you need to submit are full-versions as MP3's, like every other submission.
CRITICAL FYI: The 60, 30, and 15-second versions need to be very precise! When creating music for commercials, the 60, 30, and 15-second versions actually need to end at :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds – including reverb tails and instrument ring outs. TV and radio stations use computers to switch from one commercial to another on VERY precise schedules, so if your reverb tails or instrument ring outs exceed :59.5, :29.5, and :14.5 seconds, your music will not work, and cannot be used.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. This Music Library gets 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. The sync fees are split with 50% going to a sub-publisher and the other 50% will be split between you and the Library. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. 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 Wednesday, March 29th, 2023. TAXI # S230329LS

All excellent tracks! My only concern is that they are a little more energetic than the references (except maybe part of the Trent Reznor reference). Mot of the tracks start subdued and build slowly. Yours are more aggressive and get bigger at the end. These are all excellent tracks, definitely will find a home, but might not be right for this particular client's interests.

Here is my track that was forwarded: https://www.taxi.com/members/EVBsBi_mTq ... unning-out

Congrats on the forwards Jason, and thanks for sharing your tracks. They sound great! (I’m following your SoundCloud now).

I’m trying to learn to produce decent tension tracks, so thanks for sharing some good examples. Thanks also Paulie for sharing your successful forward.

All the best
