5 out of 6 Forwards! >> ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2020 11:01 am
I'm truly humbled at the encouragement I'm receiving in this genre this year. Did like we all do, I guess, dare to try, do the work!
Taxi, you inspire me!
I've been writing songs w/lyrics for years. Now hopefully I'm learning to communicate thru music w/o words. I'm an introvert anyway!
Of course, an income would be nice, too. That's why we're here.
The new track written for pitch:
These tracks written and forwarded for other pitches as well as this one.
"Dawn's First Light" is all EastWest Comp Cloud & Hollywood Strings
All other tracks based on Spitfire BBC Orchestra Core w/help from EastWest when needed.
A WIDE RANGE of ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL CUES is needed by a Music Licensing Company with a long and impressive list of great placements in Film, TV, and Commercials.
They’re on the hunt for a range of Instrumental Cues in various styles. Here are some examples, but you don't have to be in the stylistic ballpark of these -- they're just some ideas to get your gears turning:
Aladdin's Hideout (From "Aladdin”) by Alan Menken
"The Final Battle" by Henrik Airaksinen
"The Journey" by Philipp Klein
FX on Hulu
Please submit well-composed, well-executed Orchestral Instrumental Cues that would be useful in film/TV scenes or even Trailers and Promos. Moods can range from anthemic, to big, bombastic action-oriented, to introspective, to melancholy, to anticipatory, to light-hearted, to revelatory, to optimistic, to.... well you get the idea, practically anything goes, as long as it's something that sticks to a singular melodic idea, motif, and mood from beginning to end. Create dynamics and forward momentum in your pieces by layering instruments in and out as they progress.
Don't try to score an entire scene with shifting/changing moods or ideas. Imagine a music supervisor looking for (for instance) a Cue that would work in a scene about the long ride home from a cemetery after a funeral. It would be sad all the way through, right? It wouldn't become anthemic or happy because the scene probably wouldn't change to that mood. Even if it did, you wouldn't know at what point in the scene that happened, so you couldn't effectively compose to the timing of that change. No matter what your style or mood, stick to one thing throughout!
If you're using virtual instruments, please be sure that they sound high-quality and not dated, obviously quantized, or MIDI-driven. The more your music sounds like a real orchestra played by real humans, the better!
All submissions should be at about 2 minutes long (give or take). Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for overall feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast quality is needed.
