I'm on a roll now (Minimalist Piano)

Wow! Another forward in little over a week. Maybe that means I've unscrambled the mysteries of deciphering Taxi listings: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 #Y080714INI know a lot of conversation went around as to what exactly is "minimalist" (or at least in terms of what the client was looking for). This was my interpretation:Glass Half Fullhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=1484 ... =trueSteve

hi steve, great song and i hope your forward streak continues! enjoyed your orchestrations as well as the piano melody. again, i like your choice of title too. (although now i understand why you named that quirky instrumental "the flatulent chef" )
