2 Forwards Today

Post by tylerblalock » Fri Dec 06, 2013 3:56 pm

Hey guys, so I've gotten 2 forwards today! I'm a relatively new Taxi member, having joined back in October. I've made several submissions so far and today was the first day to hear back from any of them, so yeah, I'm excited that my first results with Taxi have been forwards :) I'm looking forward to more. It definitely is a good feeling to get those emails haha. Anyway, below are the two listing that I received forwards for:


CONTEMPORARY LIGHT POP INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the owner of a very successful Music Library. Check out some tracks by the talented Tim Meyers to get an idea of the general ballpark of the feel and vibe he needs. Give him tracks that have a positive, friendly, and optimistic texture. Tracks must be at least 2 minutes long. This company offers both exclusive AND non-exclusive deals. If you choose to enter into an exclusive deal, they split any licensing fee 50/50 and keep 100% of publishing. You'll retain your writer's share. If you choose a non-exclusive deal, they'll collect 60% of any licensing fee, while you get 40%. They'll keep publishing, and you'll retain your writer's share. Your instrumental presentation must be great. Broadcast quality is needed (excellent home recordings are fine). Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Friday, November 8, 2013. TAXI #Y131108LP

Screeners comments: Great melody, sounds inspirational. Lots of space for dialogue. Good luck!

'Glad': https://soundcloud.com/tylerblalock/glad-tyler-blalock

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

CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN SONGS with MALE VOCALS are needed by the Creative Director at a Music Publishing Company pitching to a number of popular Contemporary Christian artists. Songs by artists such as Phil Wickham, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, etc., are all great references to the sound and approach he's after. Be sure your Mid-to-Up Tempo songs reflect on themes of redemption, forgiveness, and your relationship with God, etc. Vocal and instrumental presentation must be solid and competitive. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than Tuesday, November 5, 2013. TAXI #Y131105CC

Screeners comments: Nice job...this song seems to hit all the listing requests criteria.

re: "Glad" instrumental...what caught me by surprise...a pleasant one...was the smooth transitions, back and forth,
from being a piano-driven piece at the beginning, then guitars, then back, etc; which made me kinda chuckle; like, "oh...how he'd do that?" ;)

Well done; congrats and good luck.

Great Instrumental track on Glad. Dig the instrumentation. ( nice with the hand claps ).

I'll bet you get some action from it. Fits the uplifting, feel good vibe very nicely.

Nice descriptive 1 word title that fits the mood of the track.
