Rock Instrumental Forward!

Post by keithl » Tue Dec 09, 2008 2:06 pm

I am trying to end on a strong note in December (after not really submitting a lot because of hectic schedules!) My attempt to finish up strong in 2008But I did get the forward for this rock track, both the lead track and the no-lead track. And I had a BALL doing the lead track http://www.taximusic.com/stream/183725/ ... %20Win.mp3(try it a couple times if it does not work!)MODERN ROCK/HARD ROCK INSTRUMENTALS are wanted by a very successful Production Music Library who has placements with ABC, CBS, NBC, WB, Disney, Discovery, Lifetime, Fox, USA, etc. (to name just a few). It's vital that the tracks have a lot of variation and dynamic shifts, with momentum and build. You'll want to focus on high energy, uptempo tracks with a clear forward movement and compelling dynamics. A current, radio-ready tone is essential for this one! You can submit tracks that range between 1-4 minutes in length and be sure there are NO VOCALS on these tracks. Recording & production needs to be really great and Broadcast quality is necessary - excellent home recordings should be fine.

Oh ya!!!! Seriously good Keith!P.S. And super-funny story: I wasn't sure how to get the Taxi link to work for my music, so I quoted one of your (always present) other forward notices, and stole your code. Then I saved my post, clicked on it, and got one of your other tunes instead. D'Oh!Of course, I liked yours better than mine

Funny thing is Devin, I took this code from your Rock forward! hahahaclassic....too funny.Every time I have to post something, I totally forget how to do it.....(and my song did not get a extra special "drum breakdown" comment, so I am a little bummed that I cannot wear the patch!)Thanks I-468....trying to round third base and slide hard into 2009!

It's (1) very useful so it'll do well with music supervisors and (2) musically awesome so all your music buddies are really impressed too. Not easy to accomplish both.
