Uplifting Piano and Strings

[karafinman]

Can you give me some feedback on this potential submission for the listing below? Thank you. I think it's usable (IMHP) but you know how it has to be so close to the references, otherwise you get rejected.

UPLIFTING PIANO & STRINGS INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a NEW International Music Licensing Company started by highly experienced, successful founders!

TAXI TIP: This is a hot new Library that's BRAND NEW to requesting music through TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This company is all about "new, fresh music," so this is a great opportunity to get in first and create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome new company!

This Company is searching for Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues in the general ballpark of these references:

"Just A Little Hope" by Adi Goldstein

"Far Away" by Elena Fallwell

"Awatere" by Ensemble Rivr Dane

Please submit well-composed Instrumentals (or Cues) that feature Piano and Strings as their only instrumentation to create an overall positive, uplifting vibe and sound. Your submissions should have captivating melodies, solid arrangements, and excellent musicianship. If you plan on using any virtual instruments, they need to be high-quality, modern, and sound like the real thing as nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work, here. Your production should be polished and contemporary, as well.

TAXI Tip: We suggest trying to keep your submissions on the simpler side, melodically. Your job is more about establishing an uplifting mood rather than winning "Composer of the Year"!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company offers an Exclusive deal, and has a strong preference for signing material from songwriters 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, they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

All submissions should be at least 1:45 minutes long and no longer than 2:45 minutes, with non-faded, buttoned endings. 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. Broadcast Quality is needed.

I like this one! Could use a couple tweaks with the mix, but I feel this could have a decent chance

[karafinman]

Thanks. I will adjust the levels.

It's definitely uplifting. Great job on that. Either the solo violin needs to be just a smidge louder or the piano a smidge softer. FYI, I would have had even more to say if I could have more easily accessed the references. Best of luck!

[karafinman]

What do you mean by "easily accessed the references"? Did I not post it right?
