This month we’re looking for French House, western vistas and two different versions of the same song.
Once you’ve completed your work, apply a unique code to each track – just add the code (provided in each brief) to your keyword tags when you upload. As a result, we’ll know which genre you’ve been focusing on.
If you have any questions or comments about any of these briefs, please email Pond5’s Director of Audio Collections, Mike Pace, at mike@pond5.com.
French House
Keep the party going one more time with that non-stop four-on-the-floor beat, melodic (and legal!) vocal samples, and envelope filters galore.
- KEYWORD CODE: FRENCHHOUSEAUG20
- SUGGESTED KEYWORDS: house, beat, sample, dance, French house, envelope filter, EDM
Western Vistas
We’re calling for attempts to capture the sound of big sky, endless vistas, native mysticism and the Promise of the West.
- KEYWORD CODE: WESTERNAUG20
- SUGGESTED KEYWORDS: western, the west, vista, native american, epic, american
Same Tune, Different Moods
A client recently came to us with an odd request: multiple moods for the same melody (for example, an “upbeat” and “melancholy” version of the same underlying music). I thought this would be a cool experiment for the artist community to try: take a song and create two different versions (optimistic/contemplative, upbeat/slow, light/heavy, etc). Moreover, be sure to differentiate the moods in your titles (“I Love You” – Light Version, “I Love You” – Heavy Version)
- KEYWORD CODE: TUNEMOODSAUG20
- SUGGESTED KEYWORDS: Describing the mood
Don’t Forget:
Take advantage of the 50-keyword limit and add both broad and specific keywords. On the other hand, do not use recognizable band or artist names, please!
We also encourage you to submit separate :15 and :30 versions of these tracks for social-media use.
Moreover, please note you can apply tags to existing tracks in your portfolio.
