Dispatch Roulette :)

[hummingbird]

Listing -- The Supervising Composer of an ultra high-energy, sexy TV show with international distribution needs unique SONGS & INSTRUMENTALS that combine/incorporate elements of Hip Hop, Techno, Rap, Rock, and even Orchestral for various car racing, suspense, and sexy love scenes. He doesn't necessarily need material that has each of the above elements, but some kind of unique combination is required. Some good examples are the Prodigy, Kid Rock, BT, Limp Bizkit, and the soundtrack to the film "The Fast And The Furious" - high octane, in-your-face tracks. The supervisor does not want just straight Rock/Metal or straight Rap songs - he wants cool, contemporary hybrids of the above styles. The more hooks and thematic elements, the better. Great productions and performances are a must. Entry - Green Light (revised)http://www.vikkiflawith.com/song/0

Entry - Green Light (revised)http://www.vikkiflawith.com/song/0Hi VikkiI think this track is a good one for many film/TV and music library opportunities. It's good BG for a lot of applications. My guess is that it would not get a forward for this listing because it doesn't meet enough of the listed criteria.Some key phrases in the listing:"...combine/incorporate elements of Hip Hop, Techno, Rap, Rock""...Some good examples are the Prodigy, Kid Rock, BT, Limp Bizkit, and the soundtrack to the film "The Fast And The Furious&quot...""...The more hooks and thematic elements, the better..."I don't hear the above in this track. Now, I am sure you understand I am answering in the context of THIS LISTING. Absolutely, I would pitch this to music libraries as opportunities arise. Of course (just ask my wife ), I can be wrong so it's up to you whether or not to throw $5 at it... I hope I am wrong! Casey

hi vicky,my quick feedback:* the drums sound quite programmed/looped. the multiple hits appear way too often.* I don't hear the styles this listing is asking for. rock, hiphop etc.* there is no structure in your track - it's just flowing "as one" in my ear. I think this listing asks for some structure.my 2 cents,cheers,martin

Hi - thanks for that feedback. I've reworked the drums to have more variety & a deeper quality. This is meant to be a bit of a hybrid of styles - classical with contemporary. I've added a bit of this & that, and posted a remix.It likely does not fit the "in your face" or "hooky" part of this particular listing... however, it's fun & challenging to play the Dispatch Challenge and see what you can come up with. If the production is good enough I can submit it to other opps.thanks for lending me your ears!cheersHummin'bird

Quote:Vikki, I got hooked by this one too. I'm careful with normal submissions, but oddly, I seem to get attracted to dispatch listings that I know in advance are a long shot for me. I don't know why I think you've improved the drums on this song.I decided to write from scratch for this listing, going for a more pop feel. One was a collab with Jeffe, and this one was my own submission.Hey, I think this is a very nice track. It might not be "in your face" but it's well recorded and I think the instrumentation is interesting, and the vocals very good. I could definitely hear this in a movie or tv show. I think you just need the right opp & it will fly. Good luck!
