Placement in Lie To Me

Post by jh » Wed Nov 17, 2010 4:28 am

Hi folks,

Yesterday one of my publishers sent me an email to tell me that my track was placed
in Lie To Me (Season 3, Episode 7). This is my first placement, or the first that I know of, Yay!

I probably wouldn't know about this company without a Taxi forward three years ago
(almost to the date). They didn't sign that piece, but I submitted more stuff. Actually,
I didn't get anything signed until in April 2009 (16 months later!). It was something
like my tenth submission until I got the first track signed.

(Thanks again TAXI!)

This particular piece got signed in last April, so it got placed pretty quick, methinks.

The first publisher I sent this to, rejected the track. I'm actually very thankful. Had they signed
the track, it probably wouldn't have ended up in that show mentioned above. (different client base)
So, sometimes a rejection is a blessing in disguise ;)

Oh yeah, you're likely to be a bit surprised when you check out the track!
Here's the link.

Hey JH,

I thought your song was awesome but you also made me laugh: in the Genre field you classified the tune as "Blues"!

Super-Ultra-Mega Congrats on the placement!

Thanks Lydia and Allen!

What you mean, it's not bluesy enough? :shock: Actually, I've forgot to change it, it was
Blues but I reworked it a tiny bit...Seriously, it's just that the version of Cubase
I'm using tags everything as "Blues". :mrgreen:

Hi jh....First congrats on the placement!....Lie to me is my favorite show and I haven't missed an episode since it aired...after hearing your piece, I was trying to recall if I heard it on the show.. 'cause I listen to all the music as well when I watch...I couldn't place it so I Googled Lie To Me (Season 3, Episode 7)...and the reason why folks...is because it doesn't air until next Monday night.the 22nd of november...now I've got another reason to watch!...when I hear your song I'll be able to say to my girl..."Hear that song?.....that guy's with Taxi......Way to go!
