(this is a double post, hope you don't mind!)Twilight - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... ream=trueA range of great-sounding "LOVE SCENE" 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. They want love themes ranging from sweeping, orchestral textures to solo instrumental pieces (piano, violin, cello, etc.). The score to "Doctor Zhivago" is a great example (though not the only one, of course). 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].I'm very proud of this because, as the listing states, "authenticity and great performances" are key, and their standard for acceptance is extremely high. What a nice way to end the year!! I printed off my certificate!!!!

Wow, that Twilight is a work. For my money that is the best you have done yet, Bird. Truly beautiful. It develops but does not try to do too much. It stays within itself without getting boring at all.The forward..oh, sure congratulations on that. We never mind a forward. But it is the piece I really want to congratulate you for. You never know if someone has it in them unless they prove it. To me, you just proved it.
