Gotta be the fastest turnaround in my Taxi experience. It was due today, same day as it came out, at 4:30PM. I submitted at 2PM and heard back by 7:15!!

Here's the listing:

MUSIC SUPERVISOR for a REALITY TV SERIES on a TOP CABLE NETWORK needs COMPOSERS to create a custom library. Specifically, they're looking for composers who can write in a style like the distinctive David Holmes "Oceans 11, 12, 13" scores. Submit UPTEMPO instrumentals with an UPBEAT and HAPPY tone. Pieces should sound LIVELY and ANIMATED with a bit of a KITSCH or RETRO factor.

I got 1/5 on this one, here's the cut that made it:

I called Taxi and spoke with Phil because I wanted to make sure I could submit existing and already signed pieces as demos and he said it was fine.

This one was written about a year ago and I hired a friend who is an excellent funk bass player to come in and lay down the lines for a few tracks, this being one of them.

The ones that got returned were for various reasons including too kitschy, dark or too much of a song form. They were all existing compositions.

Hopefully this one will be the one that lands me a gig!!

Woo Hoo!

Nice!!! I get the sneaking suspicion that a quick turn around is a good sign.

Congrats on a new personal record.
