QUIRKY, LIGHTLY HUMOROUS DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that's distributed by Universal for placements in Promotions, Advertising, and other TV Programming.

This is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following references to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF: they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission please!

Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals that have a quirky and slightly humorous sound and feel, that could work for a variety of sync placements! Fun and engaging motifs, and simple yet solid arrangements with one central motif are needed for this pitch. Instrumentation that's in the general ballpark of the references will work best (think pizzicato strings, piano, bass, percussion, etc.). Please make sure that your productions are polished. Live instrumentation is highly recommended, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, please make sure they are high quality and not dated-sounding.

All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, 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 Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Masters and Composition rights. Please send 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 Sunday, October 1st, 2023. TAXI # S231001HR

Why?
(1) It's not even remotely close to being in the ballpark, style and production wise.
(2) This is a VERY high bar listing. ("...a very successful boutique Music Library that's distributed by Universal ...")

Please don't waste your $5 on this.

The timing of all instrument are off, I can't even point out which instrument is in time if any. Start with one, quantize to BPM and work on the rest.
