First try at an instrumental *remix*+ new tune!!
Hi guys.... thought I'd finally wade into the waters.... cut down one of my tracks for a couple of possible listings... first try here... all comments/suggestions welcomed...Peace, GeoIs this Life?http://www.taximusic.com/download/17849 ... ..mp3Maybe I'll JamGeo 08http://www.taximusic.com/download/178168/Maybe ... T-SOUNDING, RADIO READY AAA/ALT ROCK/INDIE POP INSTRUMENTALS in the range of Editors, Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Pretty Things, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, Cold War Kids, The Libertines, Babyshambles, The Strokes, Muse, etc. are wanted by a very successful Production Music Library who has placements with ABC, CBS, NBC, WB, Disney, Discovery, Lifetime, Fox, USA, etc. (to name just a few). They want songs that build and grow, with melodic and dynamic variation. You may consider editing down a full-length song in order to avoid long sections of repetition, since this company NEEDS to have tracks that are changing & building constantly. You can submit tracks that range between 1-4 minutes in length and be sure there are NO VOCALS on these tracks. They want material that sounds like it could be on the radio, but will only be interested in Instrumental versions for this listing. Broadcast quality is necessary, though excellent home recordings should be fine. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than October 29, 2008. TAXI # Y081029AR

Re: First try at an instrumental

Re: First try at an instrumental
Hey there!So.... I think musically you're on target for this listing, but I would watch your compression settings.... seems to me that the bass and kick (though all the drums are effected) hold the most compression, and the piano at the beginning is lacking a little feel. Evening it out will help tremendously IMO.Cheers!

Hay Geo I missed the bottem one just had a listen and, wow top stuff !loved the changes in this one. I would say this composition has a very modern punk/emo feel to me.
