Posting this for the folks that might have missed the email. I think it should be a very helpful show.

There are so many opportunities for composers making Instrumental Cues that it’s become the hot thing in the music business. Record label execs used to laugh at TAXI behind our backs (and sometimes to our faces) because we’ve been running Listings for Instrumentals as far back as 1993.
Guess who’s laughing now?!!
The demand is so high for Instrumentals that we thought it would be cool to do a TAXI TV episode showing how Cues and full-length Instrumentals are mapped out structurally, rhythmically, and melodically.
How many bars of this, and how many bars of that?
How long should the intro be?
What does it mean when TAXI’s Listings talk about adding and subtracting instrumentation to add dynamics and interest?
What does a buttoned or stinger ending sound like? You’re going to hear it all in this episode!
What does an edit point sound like, and where do they go?
Tune into TAXI TV to find out the answers to these questions and many more!
Special thanks to TAXI members Keith LuBrant, Russell Landwehr, and Andy Gabrys, who took the time to send us some great examples, along with notes explaining how the musical structures of what they sent laid out. Thanks guys!!
This should be one of the most educational episodes of TAXI TV ever!
