Clarification needed on AMBIENT, NEW AGE-INSPIRED INSTRUMENT
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:44 am
I'd love some feedback on this.
(By the way the listing gives the title of the ALA as "Spectral Spirit" which is not correct. The title is "Spectral Split". )
The listing suggests our instrumental to be 1:20 to 1:43. (Very specific).
Okay, the Ala is 17 minutes long! It develops in texture from very free ethereal ( meterless ), to an underlying pulse, to very busy and energizing with lots of instrumental layers.
Should I try to take the music to a mysterious bubbling end or stay with ethereal? Many instruments were listed.
Thoughts are most welcome!

New Listing AMBIENT, NEW AGE-INSPIRED INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Music Supervisor for a really cool opportunity! She’s hunting for Mid-Tempo Instrumentals that could add a great ethereal and ambient feel to a Crowdfunding Video that will play on the Internet. Quoting the Supervisor: “We need something that has a similar tempo and feel as ‘Spectral Spirit’ by Pantha Du Prince. That’s a great example of the kind of thing they seem to love, so we’re really looking for something in the same ballpark. Marimba, vibraphone, or odd percussive sounds could be the solution for this one. I’d stay away from anything that is too new-agey, too techno-based, or has too much of an American Beauty (the theme/score from that film) vibe to it.” Read this twice: They’re looking for something ORIGINAL, and do NOT want you to copy, emulate, or rip off the referenced track in any way, shape or form! It’s okay to match the tempo and use cool, rhythmic instruments like marimba, vibraphone, kalimba, steel drums, etc., but create something completely original that sounds contemplative and meditative for this pitch. Your Instrumental can be anywhere from 1:20 to 1:43 long. Sudden, jarring sounds or noises are NOT recommended. Keep it vibe-y, ambient, maybe even a little bit mysterious. It might be wise to end your Instrumental with a buttoned/stinger ending, although that’s not absolutely necessary. The estimated sync fee is $2,000, depending on the ultimate use. You will KEEP 100% ownership of your Master, Publishing, and Writer's Share! This license will be for worldwide use (because it will be on the internet), for 3 years to “in perpetuity.” You will also be able to pitch your track for other uses – this is Non-Exclusive. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Composition rights to submit for this listing. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artist or music in any way, shape, or form. All Instrumentals will be screened on a YES/NO basis. No full critiques. Please submit one to three Instrumentals no later than Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at 4pm (PDT). TAXI #U141001NA
