need someone to record a song for me

Post by checkii »

So this is going to sound like a bot posting, but what the hey.

Does anyone want to write a song to be used in a "corporate" video? And no, I don't mean pr0n.

I am putting together a video for all of my company's new hires and need music for the background. This isnt a paying gig, as we like to rotate the artists we use and financial compensation would be too difficult.

You would have your info at the end of the video as the only credits
You would have to sign a basic disclaimer giving us the rights to use the video (we will in no way charge for it or profit from it, it is for promotional use and will not be distributed to the public at large)
It could be something good for a resume or application if you are looking to work or go to school for music
You get the warm and fuzzy feeling of helping me out.

What we are looking for is to get together 3 new songs to put into rotation on the video.
The song can be any genre, but it has to be recorded in a moderate to high quality manor. We don't expect, nor do we want a professional recording.
The sounds we have gone for in the past are just solo acoustic guitar (instrumental and with vocals. think jose gonzalez - heartbeats)
As well as DCFC type stuff. That kind of garage rock indi feel.
Can't have any cursing
Can't be offensive
If it has vocals, preferably not too in the forefront so that it takes away from the video content.
Needs to be at least 2:30 long, but can go as long as you'd like.

That's all, if you got some spare time on your hands and this sounds like somethign you'd enjoy, then your help is appreciated. Maybe I can send you some free shirts and software or something. i'll have to look around.

video is constantly being updated and changed around. its part live action, part slide show. During slide show slides change every 3 seconds. It is usually around 2.5 minutes, but it can get as long as 3.5
never any longer though.

that actually would be really good if you could re-record that. The intro sounds great over the intro to our video.
