And a second forward for this one: https://soundcloud.com/annayarbrough/mo ... ng-forward



D171007PI
SINGER-SONGWRITER-Style PIANO INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a well-connected and extremely busy Music Licensing Company for placements in TV, Film, and Commercials. They’re looking for Instrumentals in All Tempos that would fit well on a playlist with artists like, but not limited to) Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, John Legend, etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get an idea of the stylistic ballpark they’re looking in for this pitch: “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekzHIouo8Q4 “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-5XG-DbAA “All of Me” by John Legend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only! Please send them well-crafted Piano-based Instrumentals that have solid musicianship from start to finish. A solo piano piece or a piano piece with some light accompaniment can both work for this pitch, as long as the overall sound is predominantly Piano-driven. If you’re using a sampled/virtual Piano, please be sure that it sounds indistinguishable from the real thing! Anything that’s obviously synthetic or MIDI-driven won’t work for this pitch. Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length. Non-Faded/Buttoned endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please do not send material for this pitch that is signed to any other libraries or catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Saturday, October 7th, 2017. TAXI #D171007PI

More beautiful work, Anna.

I have found it hard to nail the solo piano genre: maintaining a singular, subtleness while also developing forward (without adding additional instruments to help, for example.)

You've really got it down - and with such emotion too.

Congrats!!

Amazing playing Anna. The emotion just oozes out of your playing every time. Both tracks are really good, and I think you got a Huge winner with your new one. Congrats on the forwards, wishing you tons of success with both!

Congrats Anna! Really beautiful tracks. I agree with everyone else, there is a lot of emotion there. I especially love the subtle soft endings on both pieces. Very well done and perfect for this listing. Nice job :)

Congratulations Anna and very nice! Ont thing bout your pieces is that not only should they be behind a scene on the big screen, but that by just listening to them, one can create a scene!

Best of luck with these!

Linda
