Wow! That Was Fast

Post by Danny » Fri Mar 03, 2017 10:47 am

Got my listing forward results email from Taxi at 8:54 PM last night. Got contacted by the library at 11:25 PM last night. Is that a record? :D :D :D Thanks Taxi!

The library will start with these:

S170220OI

ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL CUES in a variety of Moods, Tempos, and Ensemble size are needed by a very well-established and successful NON-Exclusive Music Library that's new to running Listings with TAXI. This company is owned by two highly-experienced Film and TV music veterans, and it's expanding its catalog due to increased demand. They're looking for believable-sounding Orchestral Instrumental Cues that you'd hear in popular shows like (but not limited to) Shark Tank, My Great Escape, The Bachelor etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get an idea of the wide range of styles they're looking for: Shark Tank (6:05 to 6:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqpCfm_8RyU My Great Escape (:22 to :50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5JYZy__fIE The Bachelor (:13 to :37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmqeF0ImqNM Please submit well-crafted Instrumental Cues that can include styles like, Tension, Dramatic, Heroic, etc., and sound like a real orchestra, played by real musicians. Your submissions can range from a small ensemble, to a full-blown orchestra, and anything in-between, as long as it sounds like the real deal and sticks to one central motif and emotion, mood, and style from beginning to end. It 's really important that your Virtual Instruments and patches sound realistic and well-played. Anything that's stiff, synthetic, or obviously MIDI-driven won't work for this pitch. Build your Cue around a central melodic theme that sticks to a singular mood. Add and subtract layers of Instrumentation as your Cue progresses to keep it dynamic and not too liner or repetitive sounding. Also, please avoid anything that's overly busy or frenetic that would distract from any dialog. Your submissions should be at least 1:30 in length. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit one to three Instrumentals Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PST), on Monday, February 20th, 2017. TAXI #S170220OI

Wow indeed, that's a lightning response.
I hope it means that there's a good chance of a placement for you.

Wow! That has to be a record - seriously! Love your queues.

One of my pieces was forwarded for this listing as well - but haven't heard anything yet.

Congrats!
