Got 2 of 3 forwarded for this one. I have appreciated all the orchestra pitches lately to get better at this kind of stuff!




I love the critique from the one that was returned. I have to agree, I got a little carried away with this one but carried on anyway! I was using my new BBC Symphony Orchestra Core from Spitfire for the meat of these tracks. lol.
"I returned or forwarded this song because>>>>Petty arguments call for a lighter level of tension writing. We want the viewing audience to feel the uncomfortable vibe, but not worry that someone might be actually physically harmed. " :lol:



As it turns out, music library wants to sign all 3 tracks plus one more I sent him to hear!

Lots of ORCHESTRAL-Based TENSION INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a BRAND NEW Music Library that's being started by a successful Editor for Major TV shows!

They 're looking for a bunch of Tension Instrumentals and/or Cues in a variety of tempos. Please listen to the references below to get a general idea of what they need:

The Shahs of Sunset (Starting From 0:08 – 0:22)

“RHONJ” (Starting From 1:30 – 2:17)

Please send well-composed Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that use Orchestral instrumentation to evoke tense, anxious, and anticipatory feelings. While your Instrumentals (or Cues) should be Orchestral-based, they’re open to arrangements that include some additional organic or electronic elements if used tastefully and sparingly.

Please be sure that your Orchestral instrumentation is well-played, sounds authentic, and feels believable. Any material that sounds stiff, synthetic, or obviously MIDI-driven will not work for this request. Sticking with one musical idea/theme/motif from start to finish is strongly recommended, as it could make your pieces easier to use.

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-Faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. 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.

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. This is a gratis library where the artist and publisher are paid through PRO’s only – Not unusual...actually, very common these days, especially for Reality TV Shows. You must own or control your Master and Copyright. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues 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 Monday, July 6th, 2020. TAXI Dispatch # D200706TN

Thanks Marco! Usually head for brass and strings first. Felt the winds were being left out, plus I needed practice, so focused on them for 'Tribe"
