-------------------

ORIGINAL TV COMMERCIAL STYLE INSTRUMENTALS are needed for TAXI Compilations that we send out as “calling cards” to Ad Agencies, Music Supervisors working on Commercials, and Film/TV Music Licensing Companies we haven’t worked with yet. We’re looking for a broad range of Instrumental styles that you’d typically hear in Commercials: Scored (stick to a central motif and don’t include multiple “scenes”), Light Acoustic Ensemble, Indie Band Instrumentals, Hip Hop, Pop/Rock, Small Acoustic Instrumental Ensembles, Dance/Pop, Indie Folk Instrumentals, Dubstep, Indie Pop Instrumentals, Solo Piano or Guitar Instrumentals, Small Classical Ensembles, Hick Hop, Minimalist, etc., etc., etc. And for the appropriate genres, please feel free to add handclaps, finger snaps, whistling, and non-lyrical vocals like, “la-la-las” and “do-do-dos.” Your moods can range from Positive and Hopeful, to Fun and Energetic, to Technological or Corporate, to Quirky and Bouncy, to Cosmopolitan and Sophisticated, to Thoughtful and Inspirational, etc., etc., etc. ALL TEMPOS are okay for this pitch. Your submissions should be 30 to approximately 90 seconds long. Non-faded endings are preferred, but not absolutely necessary for this pitch. Easy edit points are a plus! Here are just a few examples of some Advertising Instrumentals. Please do NOT copy or rip them off in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide to get yourself in the general ballpark of the wonderful world of Advertising Instrumentals: Visa Savings Edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsKPQ4PffxQ Belvedere Vodka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4620RMppa3s Foot Locker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOsrTBdIhw4#t=20 Subaru Jr. Driver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFvqpAT9YQk AT&T Moto X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNcM1-jpNj4 GE Locomotive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Pd0u22pQo#t=18 GE Robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cEQjjy51Fo#t=38 Toyota Camry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roWNzD6Lmf8 TAXI Tip: Our A&R team will be looking for the “cream of the crop” for our compilations, so please don’t get bummed out if your Instrumental doesn’t get selected for this opportunity. It doesn’t mean it’s not good, but we are going to be very selective as we will only be able to use a few tracks for each genre. Virtually all of the Instrumentals we’ve been using for our previous compilations have already been signed at this point, so we need some fresh examples to send to Ad Agencies, Supervisors and Libraries to get them excited about using music from our members.

I think it sounds great and on target.

Ron,

The listing says:

Your submissions should be 30 to approximately 90 seconds long.

Your tune is 2 minutes.

I'd actually start it at 0:48, as that is when it gets really interesting (at least to my ears). If you want to use the previous portion of the tune, I'd brighten up the guitars a bit to make them sparkle.

Good luck with it.

I like it a lot!! My suggestion would be to cut the beginning part out because they are looking for 30 to 90 seconds. The best part of the song in my opinion is at the end where you add Whoa........ along with the guitar. Good Luck!!

[RonKujawa]

Thanks for the feedback! Very helpful!

Sounds great! Maybe you could try shortening it by starting around the :47 mark. That way we get to the cool vocals faster.

Nice track Ron. Lively and cheerful.

[Gypsygal]

Great track, lush and well produced! I agree you need to edit it down to 90 sec. max but keep the original because it still works for
a 2 min cue for some other future listing(s)

Nice job, and I would bet you get on the CD

[RonKujawa]

Thank you all so much for the help! The link in the original post has been updated with an edited version of the cue. You guys rock!
