Game Show Tension - Feedback?
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2016 11:09 pm
Hey, Taxi Friends!
Wrote this for the "Game Show Tension" cue -- any thoughts? And - how do y'all add extra stinger options at the end? Just leave them off, or like this?
Decision Time (Game Show)

GAME SHOW TENSION CUES are needed by a prominent Music Library that needs to seriously beef up this genre in their catalog. In other words, they need a lot of great music! They’re on the prowl for Cues that are in the general wheelhouse of the references below:
“Deal Or No Deal”:

“Family Feud” (14:19-14:32):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT_DEZz99VQ
“Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqwh6bxJPe0
Please send suspenseful, tension-inducing Cues, which are perfect for those decisive moments in many of the game shows we’ve all seen thousands of times. Your Cue can loop in segments, but should then smoothly ramp up the tension in places to increase the tension. Subtly is key though – this is not high-octane action tension music. They’re looking for something that’s more like that “anticipating-what’s-next” type of tension Cue. If the contestants are sweating, your music should serve to make the viewers at home sweat along with them! Gentle pulses, muted, clock-like ticks, and droning synth pads are all possibilities for your “tension palette.
Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced shows’ music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed. This company offers an EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal, and an 80/20 split in the Writer’s favor for any applicable download fees by clients from their Library! Because this is an Exclusive deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. 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 one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Friday, October 14, 2016. TAXI #Y161014GT
