A forward and a callback

POSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a boutique Music Library with tons of credits in big Feature Films, countless TV Shows, and TV Commercials.

Got my 3rd forward with this one, and yesterday I got my first callback from a music library so thank you TAXI for giving me the opportunity :D . The library wanted to hear more of my cues so I uploaded 5 cues and hoped for the best. It did not result in a deal this time but they were kind enough to offer me some insightful feedback on how to improve my cues enough for them to sign me, and also left me an open invitation to send them more cues when I have made the proper adjustments.
I thought simple cues in A-B-A form was advised but it turns out this library wants more variations in theme melody and arrangements, so I guess it is a bit more complex than I expected.
The forwarded cue can be heard here should you be interested: https://soundcloud.com/holmseth/an-opti ... derful-day
The reel of cues I sent the library can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/holmseth/sets/instrumental-cues
Anyway I am really happy about receiving a callback after just two months of cue writing and I am already sure joining taxi was the right decision.

Congrats on the Forward Holmseth.

Another Taxi member I know got forwarded for this, and also had almost immediate contact from the library..

It's nice to hear that people are getting contacted so quickly (for a change!). :D
