"White Stockings Walking" (UNMIXED)

ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS POP INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a U.K. Music Licensing Company with GREAT Worldwide Distribution and lots of awesome placements in Film and TV!

This Company is searching for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Santa Tell Me" by Ariana Grande

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN9zUxSdaeU

"Cozy Little Christmas" by Katy Perry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPZR8OcKKrc

"Blame It On The Mistletoe" by Ella Henderson & AJ Mitchell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9U6_wJpbQM

Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this request.

Please submit festive Pop Instrumentals with engaging motifs, great rhythms, solid arrangements, and a heaping spoonful of Christmas cheer! Modern Pop instrumentation like what you'd hear on the radio paired with Christmas-y accents like sleigh bells, tubular bells, etc. is the way to go, here. These Instrumentals will be used under dialog, so don't submit anything that's so busy that it could be distracting!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has a strong preference for signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard music library 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.

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded, stinger endings are required for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. 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 (PST) on Saturday, December 4th, 2021. TAXI # S211204PH

Hi John,

The thing that stands out the most to me is the lead instrument (midi guitar maybe?). It sounds very midi to my ears. There are no dynamics. Based on the reference tracks, a good sounding piano be a better choice.

I hope that helps.

Rick
