Hello, I wrote this for the listing. Should I even bother?ELECTRONICA/DANCE INSTRUMENTALS a la Moby's "God Moving Over The Face Of The Water" are wanted by a Music Publisher with tons of Film/TV placements. The Moby track is tragically beautiful with an anticipatory mood, and your submission should reflect the same sonic qualities. The track will be used in a scene preceding a murder, as the character stands on a pier overlooking the ocean at dusk. The track should be mostly instrumental, but haunting vocals as part of the tapestry could work. If vocals are used, no story should be told lyrically and no words should be particularly heard at all. Great performances are an absolute must. His deal is very simple -- he splits the license fee with you 40/60 [that 60% is for you] and he doesn't take any publishing. The company's president will screen the submissions. Great recording quality is a plus, but excellent home recordings will work. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY -- NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI -- and must be received no later than Feb. 25, 2008.TAXI # Y080225DA The song is called MURDER.

Nice, not familar with the original but appears to be on target, though I think you went a little crazy with the reverse cymbal, the repetition takes away from the unique-ness of the sound, plus I don't know if it has to be this long... but I don't submit to these so I could be wrong... good job Woody, welcome aboard.

I don't know if this is on target, but I enjoyed the listen. Nice ambient textures, a sense of underlying tension. Works for me!

Thanks Geo and Vikki. I'm going to cut the reverse cymbal down to just one and see how that works.

I just posted the new version. I cut down on the backwards cymbals, got rid of the distortion in the bridge and tried to tame the ending piano chord.http://www.myspace.com/woodyschickenshack
