I saw the movie last night and 'heard' my songs (you do have to pay attention or you'll miss them
) and saw my name scroll by in the credits...twice! If anybody has seen the movie, or is going to, my songs are in two restaurant scenes, the first one when the main character Edward first meets the Russian loan shark, the second one in the very last scene at the Chinese restaurant...
This is what I would call an 'indirect' Taxi success story...while the connection with this company didn't come as a result of a Taxi listing, the songs that caught their attention were written because of a Taxi listing and were in a style I would never have thought of writing had it not been for that listing...
After over ten years of writing production music and what must now be thousands of placements, I must confess that hearing your music in the theatre and seeing your name scroll by on the big screen is still a special thrill.
A detail that may be interesting to Taxi forumites is that I wrote both of these songs years ago, in 2002 to be exact. Both have enjoyed a number of placement thru the years but this is their 'greatest achievement' yet.

with all of us. A round of drinks on me at the next Rally!
