New Cinematic Instrumental

Post by davidr » Thu Oct 08, 2020 8:35 pm

Hello everyone! I am pretty much a newbie to TAXI (though I've been composing for many years). Please let me know if my track below fits the guidelines for the submission. Here is the track:
http://www.wonderful-music.com/wp-conte ... ic_012.mp3

Here is the listing:
Several CINEMATIC ORCHESTRAL or ORCHESTRAL/HYBRID INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Music Licensing Company that specializes in music for content creators as well as TV shows and Film projects!

They’re searching for Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references below:

"The Journey" by Philipp Klein
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0hv15j ... e=youtu.be

"Automa" by Mattia Turzo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUgB6R6 ... e=youtu.be

BMW Commercial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rx7-ec0p0A

"Dream Is Collapsing" by Han Zimmer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx5KJQb ... e=youtu.be

IMPORTANT: They do NOT want Instrumentals with lots of "stops" and "starts." Instead, create developmental “arcs” that build throughout by layering instrumentation in and out as your pieces progress.

Please submit well-produced Instrumentals composed of Orchestral, Organic, or Electronic Instrumentation - or a hybrid of any combination of the three! Your submissions should have well-crafted melodies, compelling rhythms, and an overall cinematic vibe and sound. If you're using any virtual instruments or samples, be sure that they are state-of-the-art and high-quality as nothing dated or obviously quantized will work, here. If you could imagine your Instrumentals in film or TV scenes, trailers, or promos, you could be onto something!

TAXI Tip: We think it'd be a good idea to stick to one central motif, mood, and style throughout your Instrumentals.

Your submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length – a little bit longer is fine. Non-Faded/Buttoned, Stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to sign an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with other libraries or publishers for this pitch. You must own or control your Master and Composition to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, October 27th, 2020. TAXI # S201027CH

Peter, thank you for your careful listening and helpful comments. All of the things you mention seem to be excellent points! I will do my best to adjust all of these things. Thanks again!
