Where the heck would I put it? Haunting instrumentals? Hmmm, don't think so, but it's not your run of the mill instrumental.It's a ton of fun to play on the guitar and flute.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... 4&stream=1

Awesome fun song! If I'd written it I'd look for some sort of video game placement, maybe for the Wii. Just my opinion, but this tune screams "Wii" to me.Another thought / example, if you've ever played Sim City, this music is perfectly suited for such a game.Well done!

maybe it's just me... but the mix doesn't seem right... the drums are buried and everything is kind of off balance. Might want to rework it a bit, get a fuller sound before submitting... nice flute and guitar parts, but the others are too distant to really hear what's going on.I'm not so sure about the video game listings either... I think they're more 'techy' sounding in general... or fully orchestrated... it would be best to really examine any listing before submitting though, and I've found getting feedback from taxi on their listings is a good first step if you think you have something. But I'm sure once this piece is all done, it will find a home in a music library of some sort... just keep pluggin' away!

So this question may not be at the appropriate place in the boards (apologies), but zoom's previously note made me think of it.Question from a noob: If you get forwarded to a library but you don't get a callback or anything from the library, does that mean the library didn't bite? Or are libraries different in some way? I got a forward a while back but didn't hear anything after that. Don't know what that may mean.

I remember somebody once saying that it can take up to a year, maybe more, before the library even gets around to even doing anything with your track.Patience, grasshopper...

wignelson...I think this could work for a video game listing, if you rework the drums so they sound really driving behind the other instruments...If you rework the drums from an acoustic instrumental rock place, that could work, too....IMOgood luck,vtbp
