ORCHESTRAL/DRAMATIC Forward too!
This is my first attempt at composing something like this, don't know if i could do many of these, it sure wasn't easy!Here is the tune "Theatrical Debut":http://marcblackwellmusic.com/marc_mp3/ ... aster).mp3(looks like you'll have to copy /paste into browser)The listing:ORCHESTRAL/DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTALS for Film Trailers and various Film/TV placements 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 need to hear real instruments or EXTREMELY convincing MIDI tracks. In the words of the Music Director, "We shun bad MIDI like a plague...". Be sure that you send in arrangements and performances that sound authentic and fantastic! They want every track to have a succinct and natural ending - no abrupt cut-offs or fades. There are no specific edits required for this one, but be sure each piece is 1-3 minutes in length - you'll also want to be sure you have the ability to quickly turn around edited segments upon request, should the company contact you. They like to hear a lot of movement in the pieces, with dramatic/suspenseful variation and build. Broadcast quality is necessary, though excellent home recordings should be fine.

I had absolutely no idea that TAXI would bring so much out of me! So glad I joined!And it's been a real treat collaborating with some of the forum folks here lately, I've developed some great relationships that wouldn't have been possible without TAXI.

Great job Marc!! Solid, but uplifting, if I can say that around 0:45? Bond-esque, perhaps?I sure hope so dude...you created a great tune here.
