Cool track, thanks for sharing it. I could certainly see that getting used on some of the reality cable shows that are currently on the air

That track has been licensed on a show already.

IDK, I'm still not convinced it's actually you... what the heck is zippyshare?? that track could be anyone! Surely if you're... "in the game"... you'd at least have a personal website to share. Neither you nor your music is inspiring to me, I think you should change your forum name immediately.

... I'm digging on the data pop. But sometimes when I hear pop music songs on the radio, I wonder if there's enough cohesion for the song to stick around for the next 50 years like many of the older songs we hear today have. Thank God for change, though. Lots of unfamiliar things can feel awful, including new music.

Nice track - a good example of a 'modern' instrumental.

I'm thinking also that anyone commenting upon whether or not you actually wrote it probably thinks so too ;)

Thanks.

I don't mind the criticism. In fact, that has what has really inspired me. When I was with Taxi, I got about 8 forwards and two deals. Although I was glad to get those deals, they really didn't inspire me to keep going. The 90 returns (rejections) taught me that I needed to do more to be successful.

I was a bit angry at Taxi for not getting very many forwards. But I really did not see a reason to quit. The desire to succeed was more important than the failures I had encountered. I knew that licensing songs was an arena that I could be successful. So I just made more songs, contacted more libraries, and gained more knowledge. It was a total self-motivated process.

Any criticism here pales in comparison to the things that have been told to me by music libraries. I actually find the doubt and criticisms entertaining. It's a nice break in between pumping out music. Thanks folks!

I'm surprised you got that much direct feedback from music libraries. Most of the time it's yes or no. A few will give you a bit of info as to why your tracks aren't a fit, but usually that's not the case. They are not in the business of giving critiques-- don't need the arguments.
