In that time I've have had some great feedback on composition and music and some good constructive criticism, but had no luck with any forwards. A few months ago I started writing from scratch specifically for listings that caught my eye and one of the first pieces I wrote specifically for a listing was forwarded, for Dispatch listing D150626LS - INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDSCAPE CUES. It's nice to get the first one through and feel like I might be on the right track now!
I'm enjoying the challenge of writing pieces in a short time frame and tailoring them directly to the listings, it's a really good creative exercise in itself and with the possibility of forwards and maybe eventually scoring some placements it adds an extra incentive to keep at it. My main career is as a graphic artist, I work on music part time whenever I can and have been working on developing my music writing and production skills over the last five years after 15 years of playing in local original rock and metal bands, so this feels like a nice little step forward!
