If any of you have a moment, could you please give me your opinions re: the following.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=trueIt was forwarded for the following listing:D080821ININSTRUMENTALS IN VARIOUS STYLES (Action/Adventure, Suspense/Tension, Inspirational/Emotional, Horror/Terror) are needed immediately for a Production Music Library owned by a veteran in the industry. This material needs to be suitable for Advertising, Television and Corporate Film - broadcast quality is a must. All types of instrumentation will be considered, but the mood/approach should fall into one of the referenced categories above. This company offers a non-exclusive deal with a 50/50 split between the writer and the company. Your selections should be between 2 and 5 minutes long, and it’s suggested that each piece clearly express the intended overall tone - being sure to title your piece appropriately will also help to set up the expectation of the listener. Because this listing is calling for such a range of approaches/styles/instrumentation/tone, the more clear in the performance the better. Performances and compositions MUST be excellent and compelling. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI ...and Returned for this listing, with the main criticisms being that the music wasn't full enough and that it sounded "scratchy".S080731DIDRAMATIC INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a huge Production Music Library/Publisher that has signed tons of TAXI writers over the years. This company is preparing to place music in at least three feature films and also needs material for a variety of film/TV/radio/commercial projects. There are no restrictions on the instrumentation or the arrangement, but tone and mood of the overall piece is essential. This company needs music filled with suspense and drama primarily and the performances must be excellent. This is a broadcast quality listing, though great home recordings should be just fine. Pieces should not exceed 4 min. in length and they need to have clear endings - no fadeouts. Please submit one to three pieces online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI

The piece might work for movies like Saw or Slither etc, but it wouldn't be a fit for "drama" IMO. The off pitch horns, the ambient noise (scratchy sounds), etc... make it a fit for horror.

I liked the different dynamics of this piece. Very cool use of effects. I don't get what the scratchy comment was about. Production sounds good to me as well.I'd keep shopping this one for sure.
