Any word about the "HIGH OCTANE" listing

Post by keithl » Sat Feb 23, 2008 8:29 pm

I was going through my pending submissions and found one for 1/27/2008...High Octane.Has anybody heard anything?I was just curious...I know you usually hear something back within 2-3 weeks. The listing is belowA range of great "HIGH OCTANE" 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. Think high-energy tracks for sports highlights or car chase scenes - footage like that. Rock and Electronica-style tracks are preferred, but all instrumentation is OK, just so it's uptempo, energetic, and throat-grabbing. 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. 28, 2008. TAXI # S080128IN

Not yet. It can take a while on some of the "regular" listings. Sometimes 5 or 6 weeks.You've had enough forwards for now anyway man, how about chilling out a little bit!! You're doing great! Keep up the good work!!Mazz

Judging by all of the high octane songs that were posted in the peer to peer section, I think this listing probably got a huge number of submissions. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a full month before getting the results.-Steve
