Thirsty Arab (Tales of Scheherazade)
The music tells a story that is open to interpretation, inviting us to craft our own imaginative narrative. Imagine this: In the vast, unforgiving desert, an Arab merchant and skilled storyteller finds himself lost beneath the blazing sun. With his camel, laden with precious goods, he has ventured too far from the known paths. His water supply dwindles to a mere trickle, and despair settles over him like a relentless sandstorm.
As the merciless sun threatens to claim him, the merchant falls to his knees and whispers a desperate prayer for salvation. And in that moment, as if in response to his plea, a shimmering figure appears before him. It is a Jinn, a mystical being of smokeless fire.

Instrumental music for TV
Instrumental music for TV and ads varies widely depending on the mood, target audience, and message of the advertisement. Here are some common types of instrumental music used in TV commercials and ads:
Upbeat and Energetic: Often used for commercials promoting products related to sports, fitness, food, and beverages. This type of music features lively rhythms, catchy melodies, and often includes instruments like drums, electric guitars, and brass sections.
Corporate and Inspirational: Ideal for ads that aim to inspire or evoke a sense of motivation and positivity. This music usually features piano, strings, and light percussion. It’s commonly used for commercials related to technology, finance, and lifestyle products.
Ambient and Atmospheric: Used for ads that want to create a calm and tranquil atmosphere. This type of music often includes synthesizers, pads, and ambient textures. It’s suitable for ads promoting wellness products, relaxation, and luxury items.
Cinematic and Epic: Often employed for ads that aim to create a sense of grandeur or adventure. This music features orchestral arrangements, powerful percussion, and dramatic melodies. It’s commonly used for movie trailers, video games, and high-end products.
Jingles and Branding: Some ads use custom-made jingles or musical themes to help establish brand recognition and memorability. These jingles are short, catchy melodies that repeat throughout the advertisement and are often associated with a specific product or company.
Seasonal and Holiday Music: During festive seasons like Christmas or holidays, ads often incorporate instrumental versions of traditional holiday songs or original compositions that evoke the spirit of the season.
When selecting instrumental music for TV and ads, it’s essential to consider the target audience, brand identity, and the emotional response you want to evoke from viewers. Additionally, licensing and copyright considerations should also be taken into account when using music for commercial purposes.
The synchronization (sync) process, in the context of music for TV and ads, refers to the selection and integration of music into visual media such as television commercials, films, video games, and online content. Here’s a breakdown of the sync process:
Understanding the Creative Brief: The sync process typically begins with a creative brief provided by the client or advertising agency. The brief outlines the objectives, target audience, brand identity, message, and other key elements of the project. Understanding this brief is crucial for selecting music that aligns with the overall vision of the advertisement.
Music Selection: Based on the creative brief and the desired emotional response, the music supervisor or composer selects potential tracks that fit the mood, tone, and style of the advertisement. This may involve searching through music libraries, licensing platforms, or commissioning original compositions.
Licensing and Clearances: Once suitable music tracks are identified, the next step is to obtain the necessary licenses and clearances for their use in the advertisement. This involves negotiating with music publishers, record labels, and rights holders to secure the appropriate permissions and usage rights.
Editing and Timing: The selected music track is then edited to match the timing and pacing of the visual content. This may involve cutting, looping, or rearranging sections of the music to synchronize with specific moments or scenes in the advertisement.
Mixing and Mastering: The audio engineer mixes and masters the music track to ensure that it sounds polished and balanced when played alongside the dialogue, sound effects, and other audio elements in the advertisement. This process may involve adjusting levels, equalization, compression, and other audio processing techniques.
Final Approval: Once the music has been synchronized with the visual content and mixed to satisfaction, the final version of the advertisement is presented to the client or advertising agency for approval. Any necessary revisions or adjustments are made based on feedback before the advertisement is finalized for distribution.
Throughout the sync process, collaboration and communication between the creative team, music supervisors, composers, audio engineers, and clients are essential to ensure that the final advertisement effectively conveys the intended message and resonates with the target audience.
The A&R (Artist and Repertoire) role plays a significant part in the music sync process, especially in the context of selecting music for TV and ads. Here’s how the A&R role fits into the process:
Scouting and Discovery: A&R professionals are responsible for scouting and discovering new and emerging artists whose music may be suitable for synchronization opportunities. They attend live performances, listen to demos, and keep abreast of trends in the music industry to identify potential talent.
Artist Development: A&R professionals work closely with artists and songwriters to develop their sound, style, and repertoire. They provide feedback, guidance, and support to help artists refine their music and enhance their commercial appeal, making them more attractive candidates for synchronization opportunities.
Music Selection and Curation: A&R professionals play a key role in selecting music tracks that are suitable for TV commercials, films, and other visual media. They leverage their expertise and industry connections to identify tracks that align with the creative brief and resonate with the target audience.
Licensing and Negotiation: A&R professionals negotiate licensing deals and secure clearances for the use of music in advertisements. They liaise with music publishers, record labels, and rights holders to ensure that all necessary permissions and usage rights are obtained in accordance with legal requirements.
Creative Collaboration: A&R professionals collaborate closely with advertising agencies, music supervisors, composers, and other stakeholders involved in the sync process. They contribute their insights and expertise to help shape the musical direction of the advertisement and ensure that the selected music enhances the overall impact and effectiveness of the campaign.
Talent Management: A&R professionals often serve as liaisons between artists, songwriters, and the advertising industry. They help artists navigate the complexities of the sync process, advocate on their behalf, and facilitate productive relationships with advertising agencies and other stakeholders.
In summary, the A&R role is integral to the music sync process, as A&R professionals play a vital role in scouting talent, curating music selections, negotiating licensing deals, and facilitating creative collaboration between artists and advertisers. Their expertise and industry knowledge help ensure that the right music is chosen to enhance the impact and effectiveness of advertisements across various media platforms.
