So I thought that a line of boilerplate must have snuck in, but then it goes on and seems very deliberate ('we don't want you to miss an opportunity'). Anybody know what's up? The people I've talked to at taxi over the years have been uniformly nice and helpful, so I don't want to just bitch about a fairly small error - but I wonder if *I'm* missing something. It wouldn't be the first time.SOPHISTICATED PIANO-BASED, SMALL JAZZ ENSEMBLE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Hollywood Music Supervisor for a very successful TV Series! Give this Supervisor Down-to Mid-Tempo Instrumentals that you’d hear in the background of an elegant cocktail party, a fancy hotel lobby bar, or at a formal black-tie affair. Stick to the simple stuff for this pitch. If your Track is too busy, it might conflict with dialogue. He’s looking for a performance that sounds like a real small ensemble that would be heard at some place that’s probably too swanky for us to get in. Please do not submit anything that sounds stiff, dated, or MIDI-driven. Again, please keep it simple, and don’t go too far outside or show them what a virtuoso you are. This is all about creating that martini and quiet conversation vibe for the scene. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).Please do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Music Supervisor has asked that you have Instrumental versions of your song at the ready. If your song is selected for this show, an Instrumental version will be the first thing he’ll ask you for. We don’t want to see you miss an opportunity because you’re not prepared. Please only submit FULL VERSIONS of your Instrumental at this time. The license fee for this use is $500. This is a Direct-to-Music Supervisor pitch, so you'll keep 100% of your Master and Publishing rights, plus you'll also get 100% of the sync fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control 100% of the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. All songs will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals no later than WEDNESDAY, August 13th, 2014 by 4pm (PDT). TAXI
