2 Forwards for Rock/Pop Instrumentals

Post by bigbluebarry » Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:37 am

A range of great-sounding ROCK-POP INSTRUMENTALS [no vocals] are wanted by a U.K.-based Music Library/Publishing Co. for TV placement. Style-wise, think the softer/lighter side of Rock and the harder/heavier side of Pop - that range. They don't want tracks that sound like they were obviously MIDI generated - authenticity and great performances are the keys. Both instrumentals with lead melody lines and basic backing tracks that serve as "soundbeds" are OK - they want both. All tempos are OK. Track length should be in the 1:00 - 3:00 range. At this point they work mostly with prominent U.K. TV channels such as the BBC and ITV, but also supply music to other production companies that broadcast worldwide. If forwarded for D071025RP, please do not submit the same material. They offer non-exclusive, 50/50 deals. Broadcast quality needed [great sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Mar. 6, 2008. TAXI # S080306RPI submitted these two songs and they both got forwarded on! Woo Hoo! Let's Take It Slow - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=1You - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... stream=1As has been noted in some other threads, it appears that the songs being hosted on taxi are defaulting to the "lo" stream even though I had the "high" option selected.Any one else get forwarded for this one? - Barry
