This company will be looking for material that would be great for Feature Films and TV/Radio/Commercials. The tone can be quirky and comedic, light and airy, bouncy and silly, etc. Primarily, the focus will be on spare instrumentation that features clever dynamics and melodic moments". The range is wide here stylistically, with the focus being on the overall tone. Nothing dark, dramatic or moody for this one - only happy and fun. There are no arrangement restrictions here, but be sure the instrumentation isn't too thick or lush. The performances/production must be excellent and the recordings need to be Broadcast Quality (great home recordings should be fine). Pieces should not exceed 4 min. in length and they need to have clear endings - no fades. Please submit one to three pieces 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 February 6, 2009. TAXI # Y090206IN Hi DevinMerry Xmas!Nice but not at all a fit for the above listing. This isn't upbeat enough and doesn't have the dynamics and melodic movement needed. However, this could be a fit for many other opps where libraries are looking for 60 second pieces for commercials, voice-overs, etc. Its "unobtrusive" nature makes it good background for some of these applications. Keep your eyes open for the right opp! Casey

Devin,I'm no expert but I like it and I think when your done it will make a great submission. Note the listing says no fades. Maybe a little synth on top - that is if you can't get Bill's elephant farts.Kitz
