Hey All- I not only got a forward last week for a singer/songwriter song, but a library in the UK offered me a contract for two of my solo piano pieces, which I signed, of course! Mailed the contracts out yesterday.
The listing for the piano was:
U151116SP
MELANCHOLY, SOLO PIANO INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library with lots and lots of great TV and Film placements. They want to grow their catalog of somber, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of Vadim Kiselev, Isaac Shepard, Sebastian Larsson, etc., etc., etc. Please review the following references to get you in the vibe of what they need: “Melancholic Piano” by Vadim Kiselev: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urYz8mNtSm8 “Letting Go” by Isaac Shepard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcc0BWe5SDA “Into The Dark” by Sebastian Larsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19L9Z11D3K8 Please submit emotionally engaging cues that translate emotional melodic lines in a minimalistic, yet emotionally compelling way. Base your cue around a central melodic theme and don’t include any “scene changes” within your piece. Stick to one idea for this pitch! Submissions should sound like a real acoustic piano, NOT a synthetic, stiff, or MIDI driven performance. All submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length with easy edit points (if possible) and natural, non-faded, buttoned endings. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artist in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (Great Sounding Home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE 50/50 deal on performance royalties, and an 80/20 split in the Writer’s favor for any applicable download fees by clients from their Library! Please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Monday, November 16th, 2015. TAXI #U151116SP
The songs are; Face to Face, and No One Hears Me. They can be heard at: http://www.taxi.com/charlieernst
Excited to get more forwards and deals this year!
Great start to the new year!
