How’d you like a consummate Instrumental Cue Composer to show you what the most common Cue structures are for TV placements?
Great, I’ve got the perfect guest to lay those structures out in great detail on this week’s TAXI TV!
Steve Barden is a successful, longtime TAXI member, and a truly excellent composer. He’s the author of two great books on the subject. Click the covers below to see just how good those books are!

Steve’s most recent book, Deconstructing Production Music for TV, is a deep dive into some serious analysis of nine cues, which you can listen to online. For each cue, Steve breaks it down as follows:
- The Structure
- Chord Progression
- Melody
- Instrument Choices
- Style and Genre
- The Emotion and Intended Use
- The Sound Libraries He Used
- Analysis of the Bars and Sections of the Score
- ...and Why the Cue Works!
I’m beyond excited to have Steve share his considerable knowledge with you. With any luck, we’ll be playing you some of the cues during the show, as Steve tells us what he did, and most importantly, WHY he did it!
