Got a forward from an Atmospheric Instrumental listing. U150729SC
I don't have a copy of the descrip. but whatever. You can listen on my taxi page, I don't have it up on soundcloud yet. It's called Silver House but that was just a working title. I never got around to really naming it so I guess it's too late.

The first forward I got was last year (for a weird Van Halen cover) and I haven't been submitting since due to this-and-that.
I just started pumping out songs again since there have been many attractive listings and got a forward almost immediately.
This is good motivation to not stop. Ever.

EDIT: Here's the track https://soundcloud.com/joepalumbo/silverhouse

I believe this is the listing:

ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDSCAPE-STYLE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by an A-List Music Licensing Company with tons of high-end placements in Film, TV, and Commercials. They need atmospheric, ambient, Down-to-Mid-Tempo Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of Rhian Sheehan, Hammock, Helios, etc., etc., etc. Please review the following compositions to get a general idea of the range of styles that could work for this pitch: “Sileo” by Rhian Sheehan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gDdWWgQlOs “Then the Quiet Explosion” by Hammock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWsWBfRUjTc “Nothing It Can” by Helios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8R0o092C8k Please submit Instrumental Cues that range from warm and comforting, to peaceful, to inspiring, and beyond! Imagine what you might hear while watching free-climbers scale a mountain in slow motion, or what you’d hear watching a fly-through shot of a lush forest. Instrumentation can vary, but should use great sounding samples, unique sounds and layered textures to create a Cue that makes you feel like saying “Ooooh and Ahhh.” Please avoid anything dark, moody, or dreary for this pitch. Shoot for dreamy, inspirational, or soothing. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or music in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, tone, and vibe. TAXI Tip: We do not recommend adding sound effects to your Cues! A light bell tree? Ok! Dreamy Choral vocal pads? Sure! But no rain, thunder, waves or other such affects. If they need them, they’ll add them in post-production. All submissions should be at least 3 minutes long. Non-faded endings that land on the root chord and have a natural decay could work best. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Cues you pitch for this Listing are NOT already signed with any other Libraries or Catalogs. Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this pitch. Please submit one to three Instrumental Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Wednesday, July 29th, 2015. TAXI #U150729SC

Way to go! That's how you do it... if you want hits you need to get the at bats. The more you write the more you get forwarded. :)
