Forward > FAMILY, FANTASY, TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTAL (First one!)
Just getting a forward in this genre feels "like" its already been signed and placed. lol
Squelching the little voice, that says I have no business writing in this genre with orchestral composing and arranging, I am making progress perhaps. Thankful for Taxi screener feedback.
I went ahead and imported the pitch referenced trailer and wrote to that.
FAMILY FILM, FANTASY TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Production Music Library with lots of great placements in TV Commercials, Sports Programming, and Movie/Video Game Trailers.
CHECK THIS OUT: If you’re looking to diversify and get your music in a globally recognized (and distributed) catalog, this company might be just what the doctor ordered! Several TAXI members have reported placements outside the United States as a result of being signed with this awesome company!
This Library is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic range of the following references:
The Secret Garden
The Mysterious Benedict Society
Come Away
IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company is looking more for Composers they can build relationships with, rather than just a specific track for a specific placement. We suspect that if they hear a couple of your tracks and love what you're doing, they'll ask you to send them more music on an ongoing basis.
Please submit top-notch Fantasy Trailer Instrumentals that could help establish a wonder-filled mood and work well in the context of family-friendly fantasy movie trailers. Your submissions should have enchanting melodies, well-crafted arrangements, and three "acts" that build throughout to a climactic ending. We think Orchestral-based instrumentation will probably suit your submissions best. If you plan on using any virtual Orchestral instrumentation, it should be indistinguishable from the real thing – nothing that sounds stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work for this request. Overall, your production should be polished, high-quality, and competitive with the references, as well!
TAXI Tip: Don't be afraid to layer up your instrumentation to create a majestic, blockbuster sound! The bigger the better for this type of Instrumentals
All submissions should be about 2 to 3 minutes in length (give or take). Non-faded, stinger endings will work best. Please do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for overall feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed.

PSSST... you might wanna edit your text on Soundcloud...
I think you meant to write "Trailer-Style".
Pardon me for being the Spelling Patrol.
