3 songs for new HBO show, "Working Girls In Bed"

Post by jrkocian » Mon Jul 18, 2011 8:03 pm

Hello all,
I just signed 3 songs with a major east coast publisher who has a direct-in for a new HBO show. I've signed 8 other songs with this publisher, including 5 for ABC's "Wipeout." They sent me a message asking for sultry, sensual music so I got writing.

The songs they signed are "Deep End," "Steady Hands," & "Wordless Wonder;" all on my TAXI homepage.

A week or so after I wrote the songs, I saw this come through TAXI:

FRENCH INSPIRED SEXY and SOPHISTICATED INSTRUMENTALS a la Coralie Clement, Carla Bruni, etc., needed by a notable music supervisor at a major network for immediate placement! This music supervisor has placed many TAXI songs throughout the years, and is eager to find more material! Quoted from the source: "Think sexy, sensual, and sophisticated. Instrumentals will be mostly used, but we are open to vocals. The more sparse the vocals the better. Wordless vocals and whistling are always welcome. Tenor sax seems to be well received as well. NOT interested in anything dark or beat heavy." He is NOT looking for a traditional French sound, rather a contemporary sensual sounding instrumental with traditional French elements! Think: Sparse accordion, softly plucked acoustic guitar, gentle whistling, etc. You must own 100% of your song's rights. This company offers an exclusive deal. Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent home recordings should be 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 NOON (PDT) on Wednesday, June 29, 2011. TAXI# D110629FR

I knew it was for the same publisher.

That was a weird feeling!

Anyway, Thanks TAXI for connecting me with this active publisher!
