Minimalist piano

Post by tinozigzag » Fri Sep 05, 2008 2:10 am

Just back from holls and what a surprice!!!after lots of returns at last........MINIMALIST PIANO INSTRUMENTALS a la Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, etc. are needed by an East Coast Music Library/Publisher who has signed and placed dozens of TAXI songs over the past several years. He's looking for very spare piano arrangements with a minimalist approach and tone. Repetitive melodic motives and compelling dynamics could provide the right kind of foundation. The tracks should be between 1:00 and 3:00 long. If he likes your track and is interested in offering a deal, he may also request :30 and :60 edits. He requests that your pieces have clear endings, no fadeouts. Excellent performances are necessary and the sound quality should be great. Broadcast quality is required [excellent-sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than July 14, 2008. TAXI #Y080714INThis song, Prelude to Summer, has been forwarded.Hopefully you will be able to here.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=true

The link that worked for me was http://www.taxi.com/tinoaureli but the only songs I can see are "17a 47th Street 2" and "Sulphur spring 2". (they sound great) Congratulations on the forward! ~ Lydia
