My recent placements and music activities

Post by minoruchan » Sat Nov 26, 2022 4:49 am

Hi everyone, long time no see. :roll:

Most recently, my Instrumental cue was placed on CNBC's American Greed for 16 seconds. This was done by a LA publisher connected through Taxi Forward. This is an orchestral tension cue that I made a couple of years ago.
There have been several placements over the past year.
In April, about 90 seconds of a song I made for a taxi listing of traditional Japanese music a couple of years ago was placed on the Hungarian national broadcasting station. It was made by a great Hollywood publisher.

In addition, due to another relationship created by Taxi Forward a couple of years ago ,as well.
I am continuously making albums in various genres for a top notch library in London. They have a great network all over the world.

Another placement was in a sci-fi drama on a Podcast for a LA production company called Qcode Media. This was done by another great LA publisher I knew through Taxi.

Actually, there was another big event for me recently.
The president of a major Japanese publishing company saw my track record as a composer for production libraries brought to me by Taxi Music and asked if I would like to work with them.
So they made a two hour presentation time for me and I went to the head office in Tokyo and had the president and directors listen to a lot of tracks and we talked a lot. It was a year ago. They have accepted 270 instrumental songs I have made in the past so far.
They have a national broadcast TV network in Japan, and they also produce numerous TV shows and movies for them and other companiess ,as well.They also provide songs for many major Japanese artists. By law, broadcasters in Japan can have libraries, unlike in the US, and all major networks have their own music libraries.

One day, my track has started playing when I was lying down watching TV. An entertainment show started with a moving logo and my music.
Since then, it has been used at the opening of the show every Sunday at noon.
It was an EDM track I made ten years ago.
At the time, I made it for a certain Taxi Music Listing and got forwarded a fewl times, but there was no offers.
According to the communication received in September, 15 instrumental songs were placed in the first season from April to June when their new TV station opened.
Some songs play multiple times a day. I look forward to hearing from them next month.。
Wow,,, I`Ve just heard that one of my tracks has been placed a few times as the theme on a HipHop Dance battles show. While I am writing this.
Somehow,,,the track is placed with logo and crazy dancers every 10 minutes.

I wrote this because I hoped that Michael and the taxi staff would smile a little.
I'm sure these things wouldn't have happened without taxi music

Thank you Michael and Taxi Staff.
