Non-exlusive deal signed

Post by denisturbide » Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:57 am

So I got this one song, After the Battle, forwarded to a couple of listings from the same company...not sure they which got me the deal but it was the same tune for 2 listings so I guess it doesn't matter. These are the listings:

COUNTRY INSTRUMENTALS - both Contemporary and Traditional - are being sought by a Production Company/Music Library (with clients such as the Discovery Channel and MTV and film credits such as American Gangster and Bourne Ultimatium) for inclusion on their roster to pitch for Film and TV song placements. Excellent arrangements, performances and recordings are a must. They offer a non-exclusive publishing deal with a 50/50 split on any upfront license fees as well as back-end performance royalties (meaning you will keep the writer share, the publishing share will go to the company). Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Monday, July 20, 2009. TAXI #Y090720CO


and

AMERICANA/ALT COUNTRY/FOLK INSTRUMENTALS - both Contemporary and Traditional - are being sought by a Production Company/Music Library (with clients such as the Discovery Channel and MTV and film credits such as American Gangster and Bourne Ultimatium) for inclusion on their roster to pitch for Film and TV song placements. Excellent arrangements, performances and recordings are a must. They offer a non-exclusive publishing deal with a 50/50 split on any upfront license fees as well as back-end performance royalties (meaning you will keep the writer share, the publishing share will go to the company).

All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Monday, August 10, 2009. TAXI #S090810AM


They sent me some paperwork to fill out and asked that I send them more tunes similar to what the listing asked for...I sent them a copy of my CD:

Now it's wait, wait, wait...their email said it could be months before I hear from them again.
