Asian Restaurant Chain needs 4 to 5 second melody – up to $75,000

(ONSSR 034) Asian Restaurant Chain needs 4 to 5 second melody – up to $75,000.

Please read this VERY carefully and please note, submissions can be instrumental recordings OR you can literally hum a melody and record it on your phone.

So here is a huge and relatively simple request, but it is specific. A Far East (Asia) restaurant chain are doing some new branding for 2024 and require a 4 to 5 second melody to fit their new tagline.

We can’t give the actual tagline / lyrics, as they will be unveiling this with the launch of the campaign, but I can give you the total number of notes, syllables and the phrasing.

You can either give us…

"1, 1, 1..... 1-2, 1, 1, 1, 1" which if you hummed it might sound like “A, B, C ….. Taking it to the D”. This means there are 3 one syllable words, a brief pause and then a 2 syllable word and then 4 more 1 syllable words.

or

"1, 1, 1-2..... 1-2, 1, 1, 1, 1" which again if you hummed it might sound like “A, B, C-D ….. Taking it to the E”. This means there are 2 one syllable words and one 2 syllable word (the C-D bit), a brief pause and then a 2 syllable word and then 4 more 1 syllable words.

I really hope that is clear? Believe you me, this was a fun skype call with lots of embarrassing humming! Hopefully this does explain the phrasing and of course, tempo wise, you will know that, given it wants to be around the 4 second mark in total. If you are really stuck, email me on info@onenightstand.tv before submitting and I will try to steer you in the right direction.

What they want initially is the melody, so you don’t have to do a huge production, you can literally hum your melody into your phone or do a simple single instrument recording. As long as it fits the brief, the winning melody will then be recorded fully either by yourself or a third party.

Lastly, Music Xray requires tracks to be of a certain file size, so please just repeat your melody 4 or 5 times to bump up the file size.

If you can hum an original melody, you could literally land up to $75k for a few seconds work.

CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS OPP via Music Xray is the 14th of October 2023, so you have a little while.
