Lots of SCI-FI TRAILER INSTRUMENTALS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a Great Music Licensing Company with lots of Film and TV placements.

This Library is looking for a wide range of Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

Andor - Official Trailer

Alien Invasion - Official Trailer

Constellation - Official Trailer

Please submit well-crafted Sci-Fi Trailer-Style Instrumentals that are full of energy and have a futuristic and otherworldly sound and feel! Your submissions should have dramatic motifs and three "acts" that build to a climactic crescendo and buttoned/stinger ending. Please craft your pieces around one central motif to create dynamics, interest, and forward motion by layering instrumentation in and out as the pieces progress. Instrumentation can vary, but staying in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will most likely work best. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and sound very realistic if they are orchestral-based.

NOTE: Orchestral-based arrangements with a modern edge OR Hybrid/Orchestral arrangements with elements such as synths, bass growls, futuristic impacts, etc. could both potentially work. Just make sure there is plenty of dramatic, Sci-Fi energy!

Your submissions should be roughly 2.5 to 3 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with any other Companies or Catalogs. Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Masters and Copyright to submit. 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, May 28th, 2024. TAXI # S240528CF

Hey! I'm just getting into trailer writing, so I'm in no position to give advice. Instead, I'll just outline my initial impressions. But I listened and think it's cool!

What I liked:

-The intro - I like how it begins
-Interesting dissonant pad textures giving it a definite Sci-Fi feel
-Cool and creative sound design elements

What I thought could be tweaked slightly:

-The middle section seems to wander a bit and wasn't as compelling as the intro
-The piano sounded a little bit stiff and the drums and percussion could sound more authentic

^All of that with a grain of salt. Feel free to disregard it - just my initial thoughts

Thanks for your comments, especially for your initial impression, Riffkitten. Best! John

Sure thing! I wish you the best with it
