First Forward...

Woohoo...I'm a newbie. Just joined a couple weeks ago and got my first forward today. I've also had a couple returns and the comments on those I would agree with. So all and all it's been a positive experience here with Taxi. Now, on to the next!


EMOTIONAL, CINEMATIC ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTAL CUES for SPORTS are needed by a seasoned Music Supervisor working on an upcoming project!

NOTE: This Music Supervisor is BRAND NEW to requesting music from TAXI. This is a great opportunity to create a new outlet for your music and begin a new relationship with an awesome music supervisor!

This Company is looking for moving Instrumentals in the general style of the following references:

SC Featured: Kikimita: The Hansel Enmanuel Donato Story | SportsCenter (from 3:47 - 5:10)

SC Featured: Josh Jacobs' rise from homelessness to becoming a 2019 NFL draft first-round pick | SportsCenter (from 0:00 - 1:43)

Greatness Has a Cost (from 0:00 - 2:29)

Please send well-composed Orchestral Instrumental Cues that exude an overall emotional and determined vibe that could work for inspirational or aspirational Sports segments. Your submissions should have sweeping motifs, engaging rhythms, building arrangements, and pull at the listener's heartstrings. Orchestral instrumentation that's generally similar to the references (and others like them) will suit your submissions best. Some non-orchestral instruments are okay to use as well, as long as orchestral elements are the prominent focus. Please be sure that your production is polished and any virtual Orchestral instruments or samples you use are high-quality and realistic-sounding. Craft your Cues around a central motif and layer instrumentation in and out as they progress to create a dramatic and impactful arc with peaks and valleys as well as tons of forward momentum.

Your submissions should be about 90 seconds to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This is a Non-Exclusive Deal, with forwards for this pitch go directly to the Music Supervisor, so this is a great opportunity! You’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recording. You’ll also get any applicable sync fees and performance royalties! No publisher splits! Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, July 13th, 2022. TAXI # S220713TE

Hi, and congratulations on your first forward, but I have no doubt that you'll have many more. This opportunity is a particularly good one so best of luck for getting a call back from the music supervisor! :)
