Hello to all!!First of all let me say that I am not the type to complain about anything really, and I have too much respect for the TAXI organization to even question their abilities or advice about the music business etc..I wouldnt even call this a complain I am about to post, its more of a request for your opinion about what I am reading and what I am not reading..Heres the actual listing:_________________________________PROLIFIC COMPOSERS/PRODUCERS who can write and produce in a variety of styles are wanted by the President of an L.A. Music Library/Publisher who has signed and placed many TAXI writers/songs. This Publisher is looking for individuals who can consistently turn around a variety of excellent cues for Film/TV in a wide range of genres. If you are quite accomplished in only one genre, he will consider the possibility of working with someone who specializes in one particular style. His preference, however, would be to find someone who could produce/compose a variety of styles including Rock/Pop/Hip Hop/Electronica for various Film/TV opportunities. This Publisher has supplied content to shows such as Las Vegas, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, etc. and also secures prominent placements in Feature Film projects. Your location isn't necessary, as long as you have the experience and the ability to turn material around quickly - on time and on task. Please indicate your experience, credits and studio capabilities in your Bio and be sure to submit instrumental tracks or songs with vocals that display your varied abilities. Submit 2-3 songs/tracks online or per CD, include PHOTO/BIO. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than January 12, 2009.

Hey Ricci,The critique certainly does seem to contradict what the listing is asking for."your examples are - generally speaking - song/pop/electronica oriented""find someone who could produce/compose a variety of styles including Rock/Pop/Hip Hop/Electronica"One statement is from the screener and one is from the listing. I don't see a difference. In fact, the following statement from the screener comes out of nowhere:"...don't show abilities needed for writing and producing orchestral dramatic underscore"I can't find in the listing where it specifies "orchestral dramatic underscore". I suggest you give Taxi a call to clear it up.Steve
