Positive Instrumental Forward - Me Too!

Post by mmucklow » Thu Mar 07, 2019 7:21 pm

It was nice getting the congratulations email from TAXI today for the Positive Instrumental track I submitted; and especially so because it's the first time I have composed for the genre. A hearty thanks to all my TAXI peers for listening and feedback!

POSITIVE INSTRUMENTALS for CORPORATE VIDEOS are needed by a successful, globally distributed Music Library that has a great track record of cool placements in Films, TV shows, and TV Commercials. They’re eagerly looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that would fall in the general range of the following references:

Free Corporate Background Music

Background Music for Presentation Videos

Background Music for Presentation & Corporate Videos

Please send them well-composed Instrumentals that could be used in corporate videos and/or corporate documentaries. Your pieces can be composed using Electronic, Organic, or Orchestral Instrumentation, or a hybrid. Be sure your performance has a solid arrangement that develops and has a sense of forward momentum. Also, you’d be wise to make sure your submission isn’t so busy that it's distracting and is able to easily sit behind dialog or voiceover.

TAXI TIP: The mood of your Instrumental should convey an inspiring, optimistic, and positive feel, sound, and vibe.

Thanks Jay!

I don't mind prescription drug commercials - that's TV compared to corporate training videos. :D

Nice track Michael!

Really nice vibe and lovely percussion grooving along in the piece. Definitely sounds right on target. Well done!

Congrats to you, too - from the cheap seats.
You're a 10-year veteran at TAXI...? That's a milestone, too - eh?

Yep, TAXI veteran, however it might be 13 years. I joined in 2006 but didn't do any forum stuff until 2009. I was inactive altogether in 2008 due to being a dirt poor musician that couldn't even afford the TAXI membership. For real! Got my first placement in 2012, six years after first joining. The last three months have been my most active time here and composing for listings. (Been on medical leave from work). Funny, earlier today I was looking through my Submit History, and damn, I've had a bunch of forwards!

Nice track! Nice elements and really nicely put together. Sounds like it could work across many uses. Congratulations on the forward!
