Why am I not getting my songs through the first round?
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:23 pm
Hi! I submitted about 8 songs for different pitches. The last two really surprised me. I thought (just like all of you for your songs...) that these two tracks were spot on! I'd like tot ask you people your take on my song. I would like to hear from non taxi critics what they think about it. What worked- what doesn't and why you think that #419 said NO.

PITCH
Please submit well-composed Dramedy Instrumentals (or Cues) that push the boundaries of typical Dramedy music. Your arrangements should feature some pizzicato strings, but should generally avoid using Orchestral instruments as prominent elements in your pieces. Some Orchestral instrumentation is okay to include, but please be sure not to over-do it! Think of ways your could replace where you would typically hear orchestral instruments with unexpected instruments and sounds and build your pieces from there.
Your submissions can range in mood within the Dramedy genre – from quirky and light hearted to a bit more dramatic – but they still need to convey a "dramedy" feel. Craft your pieces around a central motif and layer instrumentation in and out as they progress to create dynamics, interest, and forward motion. Your production should be polished and any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high-quality and state-of-the-art.
TAXI TIP: There is room to get creative with this pitch since this Library is looking for a fresh, new take on Dramedy. Think of changing up the cadences, rhythms, instrumentation, etc., to help give your pieces an added edge. The more unexpected the instrumentation, the better!

I'll post what #419 (who seems to review a lot of my stuff) said after I hear from some of you. THANKS A LOT. DON'T BE AFFRAID TO POST WHAT YOU REALLY THINK-- I CAN TAKE IT (I hope!)
