All 10s on extra selective NEWS Instr.!!

Post by waltergrund » Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:02 pm

I guess that's the best as it can get...it's possible!!Here's the listing:A NY-based Music Publisher/Library (with studios also in Nashville and Los Angeles) needs great and very current-sounding DRAMATIC NEWS INSTRUMENTALS for placement as underscore for News-type programs. Think along the lines of shows such as 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Extra, etc. Sixty seconds to 3 minutes is the recommended length for this pitch. They've placed music in shows on HBO, ABC, NBC, FX, the Discovery Channel, the Sundance Film Channel, and the Learning Channel, as well as in films produced by Focus Features, Red House Pictures, and USA Films, among others. They asked us to be extra selective when screening for this project. This company offers a standard publishing contract, where they assume the publishing rights to the track and the composer keeps the writer's share of the income/royalties. License fees are split with the composer on a per project basis. Broadcast quality needed [excellent home recordings are OK]. Broadcast quality needed (great sounding home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs per CD/online. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Feb. 7, 2008.

Congrats on your forward! A return for me, but some great feedback. My instrumentation was a bit "sparse" for the listing.
