3rd time for this one!

COMEDIC URBAN DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a new division of a Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Shows and is now expanding! 

NOTE: They’re currently building a few new catalogs, so this is a killer opportunity to start a relationship with an awesome company! 

They're looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues with a similar vibe and sound as heard in these examples: 

Black Ink Crew (Starting From 2:29 – 3:03) 

Married to Medicine (Starting From 2:09 – 2:20) 

Check Yourself (Starting From 0:07 – 0:20) 

Please send well-produced Urban Dramedy Cues that could be used in a variety of mischievous and comedic scenes in Reality TV Shows. Your Cues should have contemporary-sounding instrumentation and be built around rhythmic, Urban/Hip-Hop beats. As always, be sure to structure your Cues around a central melodic theme while adding and subtracting instrumentation as they progress to give them some dynamics, forward momentum and a developmental “arc.” 

TAXI Tip: Imagine the type of music that would be playing when a group of people is hanging out cracking jokes or when a prank is about to be played on someone! That’s what they’re looking for! 

All submissions should be about 90 seconds to 2 minutes in length (give or take). Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone and overall vibe.  Broadcast Quality is needed. 

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs.

Had a little fun with a virtual duduk, udu, dejembe, and baya. (Say, what?!)

A BUNCH of DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES with MIDDLE EASTERN Flavor are needed by an International Music Library with worldwide distribution through Universal! 

NOTE: Due to the unique nature of this request, we purposely didn't include references as we felt they could potentially be more misleading or limiting than helpful. 

Please submit well-crafted Dramedy Instrumental Cues that utilize the instrumentation, rhythms, and melodies of the Middle East! Your submissions should tastefully blend Dramedy elements like Pizzicato strings, Piano, Violin, Clarinet, etc. with Middle Eastern instrumentation like Duduk, Ney, Santoor, Saz, Bouzouki, etc. 

NOTE: Although they’re open to Instrumental Cues that fall pretty much anywhere on the Dramedy spectrum, they DO NOT want to hear anything that sounds childish or child-like. 

Be sure to structure your Cues around a central melodic idea while layering instrumentation in and out as they progress to keep them moving forward with a developmental arc. Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Broadcast Quality is needed. 

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: "If you plan to incorporate 'ready-made' loops into your productions, please make sure each stem has at least 2 layers! That way, every loop has an additional layer that distinguishes it from the original ‘source’ loop.”

..Which means: “Hey cool track, I'm going to pass this on. It may be usable to the TV/Film/Publishing pro that will hear it next."

Two! One brand new, and one...brand old.

“KUWTK” (From 0:22 - 1:25)

Be sure to build your Cues around a central melodic theme or motif, and keep it dynamic and forward-moving by layering other instruments in and out as your pieces progress. Avoid submitting anything that's busy, as it could interfere with a scene’s dialogue. 

All submissions should be about 90 seconds long (give or take). Solid edit points and Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings are strongly encouraged. Please do not copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.
