Electronic tracks on E! :)

Post by roland » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:40 am

...the network, that is, not the recreational drug...:)

As other people have suggested on this forum, it's sometimes all about getting just one track through the door. After submitting one track to a listing for electronic tracks suited to entertainment news shows, I was lucky enough to be forwarded and sign a deal for that track, as well as another 9 tracks that I worked on in June, specifically for this client.

Last night I found out that, in September, I had 2 of these tracks placed on 3 episodes of a well-known show on E! (on CTV Two in Canada!) with the initials AH.
I was also really happy to see that other TAXI members, including Mazz, had their music placed as well, congrats!!

I'm relatively new at all this, so it goes without saying that I'm pretty excited!

As always... thanks, TAXI!!!
Roland

@ Casey: Thanks so much!! You actually inspired me with that idea, and I decided that I would in fact launch keyboards with my name on them. Would you believe some Japanese company's already doing it????? Bah, as if they'll have any success.

@ John: I looked into accordions as well. Turns out this upstart Japanese company also makes'em. They're definitely ruining my day.
You bet, looking forward to a celebratory drink (or more) with you in 3 weeks!!! Thanks for the congrats, and many congrats back at ya!

@ Paul: Thanks so much for the congratulations! I also looked into drum machines... @#*! rinky dink company named Roland.

@ Marc: Very much appreciated, thanks!

@ Vincent: Many thanks for the congratulations, my friend from a very nice city!

Cheers,
Roland
