How To Create "Tension" Cues For Television

I just posted a clip of a recent webinar I hosted with composer Eddie Grey on the topic of how to create "tension cues" for television.

Eddie breaks down how to add layers throughout your tracks to build momentum and tension when creating cues for television.

One of the keys to getting your tracks placed is writing tracks that work in the context of television and enhance and support the overall dialog and feeling of the scene.

Building "tension" and suspense is one of several very common feelings and emotions that music is used to evoke in the context of music licensing.

Check out Eddie's approach to creating "tension cues" below.
