String Fprward

Post by llama » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:49 pm

Hey,I'm excited about my string inst. forward. It's a new direction for me so I'm well pleased A range of great STRING INSTRUMENTALS (no vocals) are needed by a U.K.-based Music Library/Publishing Co. for TV placement. This company ran numerous TAXI listings in 2006 (and signed many TAXI songs) and is now in need of more great material as their service has become very much in demand. Style-wise, they're open to many styles, but they don't want anything too off the wall - your pieces must an obvious direction and structure. They want solo pieces to full orchestras. String pads are OK, but they must sound like the real instruments. They don't want tracks that sound like they were obviously MIDI generated - authenticity and great performances are the keys. Both instrumentals with lead melody lines and basic backing tracks that serve as "soundbeds" are OK - they want both. All tempos are OK. Track length should be in the 1:00 - 3:00 range. At this point they work mostly with prominent U.K. TV channels such as the BBC and ITV, but also supply music to other production companies that broadcast worldwide. They offer non-exclusive, 50/50 deals. Broadcast quality needed [great sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Jan. 15, 2008. TAXI # S080115INhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=86639&stream=true
