ORCHESTRAL CINEMATIC UNDERSCORE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a High-End International Music Library that's constantly landing tons of huge placements on Hit TV shows, Movie Trailers, and Films!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI, so chances are you don’t have any material in their catalog yet! This is an awesome opportunity to create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with this Top-Tier company!

This Library is searching for Instrumentals in the general wheelhouse of the following examples:

"Come Back to Us" by Thomas Newman

Trulicity | Night Shift

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPO5zeFYnKw

"Reforestation" by Ilan Eshkeri

Send them well-composed Cinematic Instrumentals that could work well as underscore for a variety of scenes. Inviting motifs, excellent arrangements, and top-notch Orchestral instrumentation are all needed for this request. Some additional instrumentation (like piano or guitar) is fine to include, as well. Your submissions can range from uplifting to somber to just about anywhere in between! Just be sure to stick with one mood per piece to maintain cohesion. Craft your pieces around a central motif and layer instrumentation in and out as they progress to create forward motion, interest, and dynamics. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and state-of-the-art.

All submissions should be 2 minutes to 3:30 minutes in length, give or take, and have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced artist or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. 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 Thursday, December 29th, 2022. TAXI # S221229CM

Nice work JD!
I think this is a fitting piece. Love the way it breathes, great use of space.
I heard some clicks or pops at one point but that may have just been my phone? I like the strings part, but feel the sound of them isn't quite right.. maybe they should be a little more dry? There's too much airiness to them, and I feel they could sit better.
Have you tried using a vibrato or trills type sound? May be more fitting than the pad type strings.
Nice work, you had me intrigued throughout the piece!

Nice composition.
Maybe a bit more subtle,smoother fade in when the strings come in.

That's all.

good luck!!

Thank you for listening. I'll experiment with some vibrato/trills. I appreciate you taking the time.

Best!
