Two new deals through Taxi

Post by davewalton » Tue May 27, 2008 3:06 am

Hi,I don't know if this is any kind of record but in June of 2006, two tracks were forwarded to a small film production company for "horror/suspense instrumentals". Nearly two years later I finally got a contract placing those tracks into a horror film called "Roid Rage". Apparently when you combine bodybuilders and steriods accidentlly tainted with Mad Cow disease you get a horror film with some of my music in it. Also, my first Taxi deal was with a music library. They've place my music into some neat stuff in the past. Recently they placed two of my "New Age" type tracks with a company called "At Peace", a yoga/meditation company that is going to use my music (along with others) for marketing, online sales and some kind of streaming media web thing.Onward and upward,Dave

I like the title...isn't "Roid Rage" something you get when you spend too many hours sitting in front of your composer's workstation?

I think that would be "Raging Roids". I have limits on how far out I'd go regarding film titles where my music might appear (not many limits though ). That one would probably be the "thanks but no thanks" scenerio.
