URBAN DRAMEDY Forward

Post by steveprobst » Wed May 15, 2019 3:53 pm

Wrote a new one "Yeah, Then What?" ... (That's the title-I'm not talking to the voices in my head-lol)

...and pitched 2 more I already had as well. 2 of 3 forwarded.

URBAN DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a hot International Music Library that’s been signing a lot of TAXI members to keep up with their increasing demand. They love receiving music from TAXI members, and have requested even more!

They’re on the hunt for Mid-To-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the examples below:

Check Yourself: S9 E14 (From 1:27 - 2:01)

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta (From 1:23-1:55)

Please give them well-crafted Dramedy Instrumental Cues with a noticeable Urban vibe, feel, and style. Your Cues should have contemporary instrumentation and solid production values from top to bottom.

Be sure to build your Cue around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as it progresses to create dynamics and movement. Please avoid anything that sounds overly busy, as it could distract from a scene’s dialogue. If you can picture your Instrumental Cue working well in a variety of comical scenes in Urban-centric Reality TV Shows, send it in!

TAXI Tip: This library needs a bunch of fresh Instrumental Cues in this genre; so if you’ve got the goods, don’t be shy about submitting multiple pieces for consideration!

All submissions should be at least 60 seconds in length (somewhere in the ballpark of 60 seconds to 2 minutes is probably your best bet.) Good edit points and Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Do NOT copy the examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Right on, Steve. As dear old Meat Loaf once sang: "two out of three ain't bad"!

Hey Steve,
It appears good things are happening for you. Congrats.

Question: If the request is to submit as many cues as desired, can we leave 1 or 2 blank measures between cues and simply submit them under 1 entry or do they need to be totally separate submission?

Thanks,
Ron Svoboda

Thanks Ron.
They need to be totally separate submissions.
