Gentle Piano/Mallet based instrumental cues forward

Post by edmondredd » Thu Jan 16, 2025 7:09 pm

Happy to report my first forward of 2025 for the listing below:
Lots of GENTLE PIANO/MALLET-Based INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a Great Music Licensing Company with lots of Film and TV placements. They have been kicking things up a notch lately with loads of International placements, and have secured a few TAXI members some significant royalties recently!

This Library is looking for several Instrumentals (and/or Cues) in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Documentary Ambient Background Music" By Alex Grohl

"Documentary Inspirational Music" by RealTunesStudio

"Wanderer" by Stephen Packe

QUOTING THE CEO OF THE COMPANY: "We’re on the lookout for gentle tracks with arpeggiated, percussive patterns."

Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals (and/or Cues) with a gentle sound, arpeggiated melodies, and organic instrumentation. Your submissions should have subtle rhythms, solid arrangements, and unitrusive motifs that would work well under dialogue. The emotional range of your pieces can go from the more introspective, to neutral, to the more positive side. Instrumentation should stay in the general stylistic ballpark of the references, featuring instruments such as piano, glockenspiel, marimba, xylophone, etc. Please be sure that all virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Aim for light, simple tracks that support a story without drawing attention away from the visuals.

NOTE: This Company is specifically looking for tracks that feature arpeggiated pianos or mallets! Having a fairly subdued and gentle overall sound with tasteful arpeggiated melodies will go a long way in getting this Company's attention!

Your submissions should be roughly 1.5 minutes long for Cues, and about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned 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.

AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals and/or Cues 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 Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or 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 (PST) on Monday, January 13th, 2025. TAXI # S250113RP
