Question about simple, short friendly instros

[daveydad]

Wondering.... They're looking for cues easily editable down to 29.5 and 59.5 seconds. So... would it beneficial to simply submit cues at those exact lengths? And what if we have cues of a song in both lengths... do we still have to send them in separate submissions? Thanks!

SIMPLE, UPLIFTING, TV COMMERCIAL-FRIENDLY INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Production Music Library based outside of the U.S. and distributed Internationally, for Film, TV, and Commercials. Give them emotionally uplifting, fun Mid-to-Up Tempo Instrumentals that could be found in the background of commercials. Please listen to the following references as a general guide for the type of sound they need:
Match.com Commercial:

We’re not suggesting that you have to mimic those references! Those aren’t exact targets, so much as examples of just some of the types of uplifting commercials for which your music could work. Please do not copy or rip off the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe.

Quoting the Library: "We have a ‘Happiness’ project we are working on, looking for lots of fun and uplifting instrumentals for TV Commercials; some simple Ukulele, Xylophone, Piano, & Acoustic Guitar material with accompanying elements like Handclaps, Whistling, and simple Percussion. We are really looking for fun tracks that inspire and generally have a ‘feel good’ vibe."

Please submit emotionally positive, inviting Instrumentals with authentic sounding acoustic instrumentation (see quote above), catchy melodies, and simple, yet memorable melodic hooks. We recommend submitting pieces that are 29.5 seconds long or 59.5 seconds long (including ring outs!) with with easy edit points, and a buttoned ending. If you want to submit longer pieces, you can, but you’d be smart to make them easily editable into 29.5 second versions and 59.5 second versions, which make them easier to use and more desirable to the editors and/or mixers who would eventually be laying the music into the commercials. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).
