Hey,I managed to get two forwards today. New Age forward was for :NEW AGE/MEDITATION ARTISTS "with a twist" are wanted by the VP of A&R at an International Independent Record Label with worldwide distribution. This label specializes in New Age and World Music and is extremely high-profile in those circles. They're looking for more than just the easy listening New Age of the past - they'd like to hear some Electronica influences and contemporary/cutting edge soundscapes.Piece was Tribal Meditationhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=28607&stream=trueand Celtic/European forward was forThe President of an established Music Library/Publisher is seeking great, authentic and traditional EUROPEAN INSTRUMENTALS FROM GREEK TO IRISH (and everything in between) for placement in film/TV projects. No vocals, please. An interesting 1-5 second motive/riff at the top of your song is helpful -- it's good to establish the style from the start -- but not necessary. All instrumentation should sound very authentic and should establish a clear region/style/origin from the beginning of the track.Piece was Arcadia Reduxhttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=59362&stream=trueI'm gonna get myself a Guinness right now and celebrate. Cheers y'all.Derek

Great job Derek! Well deserved...! I had some luck, too today! Have a great weekend!!

Derek, my friend!!!!Wow. I guess New Mexico DOES more than rock. (But we rock pretty well, too.)These are both tremendous pieces. Is that all YOU on the recordings? No matter, they are great and WELL deserved forwards.wooHOO for you!!!Ted

Thanks Jeff............much appreciated. Liked your tracks a lot BTW. Thanks Ted.Yep New Mexico definately rocks!!! As far as the instruments go..it was just me and my trusty Motu Ethno insruments, Yellow Tools and Dimension Pro.....oh and guitar. Derek

Well, dangit, these are good!! Somebody's gettin' some very good tracks on the celtic and new age forwards and that's a fact. Good job, Derek! Loved 'em!

Thanks Squids.....BTW your Lords Prayer in Aramaic is fantastic. You have an outstanding voice too. I hear some Lisa Gerrard there...........BTW she is one of my faves. Good luckDerek

Aww, tha's so sweet, Derek, I appreciate hearing that. I know I'll see many more success stories from you.

Derek:Both tracks are right on target!I particularly loved The Tribal Meditation.You used a huge array of tones and the music always kept me captivated.I especially like it when a piece of music surprises me and I 'm pleasantly moved by that unpredictability factor...............

Certainly 'Guiness Worthy News' Derek!
