Hi all!
What do you think they mean by "a slight electronic edge"?
is it small synth sounds or can it be electronic drums?
here is the listing:
PIANO-BASED ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS with SLIGHT ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS are needed by a TOP TIER Film and TV Music Licensing Company that's secured tons of amazing placements for many TAXI members. Quoting the source: "I need Philip Glass type Instrumentals but with a slight electronic edge to them. Moods can range from uplifting, serene, heroic, tension, etc. The main theme/motif of the piece must be played on a piano." Be sure your piece is current and fresh, with tasteful, modern electronic embellishments. They're NOT looking for a strait forward electronic based track. No sampling other artists' work/sounds for this pitch. You must own or control 100% of your master and composition rights. Mid-to-Up tempo Instrumentals only! This company offers a Non-exclusive, 50/50 deal. You keep your original copyrights. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Thursday, October 24, 2013.

Because it says piano based ORCHESTRAL instrumentals with slight electronic edge, and that the piano is to be the lead instrument playing the melody, or theme, and they are looking for modern electronic embellishments and it sounds as though they aren't looking for EDM, electronic dance music, I would surmise that they wouldn't want electronic drums, as you could make a case that electronic drums are more EDM and orchestral is less if not any drums. That's my take on it. So perhaps a synth bass or synth strings or horns??

I had the same question. I decided to interject a little electronic voices and a subtle touch of electronic percussion. Here's what I'm working on so far. Good luck!!

I was thinking more of a spacey/airy/dreamy/atmospheric pad or something to compliment the piano.
