4 forwards for one listing

Post by gitanosoy » Mon Jul 13, 2020 9:20 pm

Really happy I submittted more than one track for this listing....It is nice to see the feedback from the screener "Nice job with the tracks" and "you could improve..n/a" ,ofcourse I could always improve with more time.

Several TRADITIONAL SPANISH FLAMENCO GUITAR INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a U.K. Music Licensing Company with GREAT Worldwide Distribution and lots of awesome placements in Film and TV.

NOTE: We recently ran this request as a TAXI Dispatch Listing (#D200506SF) but the company wants to hear MORE material! If you submitted to listing #D200506SF, please send in different material this time around.

They’re looking for a bunch of Instrumentals in All Tempos that are in the general stylistic wheelhouse of these examples:

"Rio Ancho" by Paco De Lucia

"Barrio Negro" by Tomatito

"Tres Puñales" by Enrique Montoya

"Peteneras del Cafe de Chinitas" by Carlos Montoya

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company has a high bar and they tend to gravitate towards music that “sounds like releasable commercial Songs” rather than material that sounds like it came from a "typical music library." Also, this company is only interested in signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

Please submit well-composed Flamenco Guitar pieces with great musicianship and an authentic sound and style. Craft your Instrumentals around a central melodic motif and mood that’s cohesive throughout. Your arrangements can range from solo guitar performances to a fuller, traditional Spanish-style band accompaniments with castanets, cajon, and palmas. Please stick to traditional instrumentation, and steer clear of anything that sounds stiff, MIDI-driven, or unnatural.

NOTE: We don’t recommend using virtual guitars for this pitch, unless you are extremely masterful and your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing!

Your submissions should be 90 seconds to 2 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, June 10th, 2020. TAXI # S200610PN

Those are excellent, I'm not surprised they forwarded them all. The good thing is I bet not many can fill this niche so I wouldn't be at a ll surprised if you were contacted.

Also , they are pretty timeless so once they are signed you could be getting that stuff placed for decades.

Andre, congrats!!! These all sound excellent. I'm glad you saw a listing that was right in your area of expertise and knocked it out of the park. I hope you get some deals and placements.

As I mentioned I was working on a track for this listing but just couldn't get it together in time. I made it way too hard for myself to pull off. But I've turned it into a practice etude and every time I play, I break out the metronome and get it a little closer to the desired tempo-- and maybe someday I'll be able to record it and post it. Still, if it hadn't been for this listing I wouldn't have even been inspired to begin work on it.

I was really looking forward to hearing what you came up with for this listing and I am very impressed. Cheers!
