1st Forward!!! Yeah!!!I am VERY excited to get over the first hurdle so I can see and learn what comes next in the world of music libraries! I went round and round on this listing as the A LAs didn't really represent what I thought the listing text was looking for. I wrote eleven tracks of varying styles and wound up submitting only one that I thought sounded right to me, my original theme. I guess if they want to hear more, I'm set. I was really expecting to be rejected once more as being Off Target but I must have guessed correctly. At any rate, I am encouraged!!!Y090504CDCRIME DRAMA INSTRUMENTALS in the style of the underscore for such dramas as CSI and 24, are needed by an East Coast Music Publisher who has secured dozens of Film/TV placements for TAXI writers over the years. He is looking for mysterious and suspenseful styles that "must have a contemporary rhythm section". He'll be looking for shifts in tone, instrumentation and dynamics throughout each piece. He definitely does not want it as hyper-tempo as requested in listing # Y090512ID . He's open to any arrangement or instrumentation, as long as the tone is right. Excellent performances are absolutely necessary. He specifically said he wants to hear tracks that are :60 seconds in length. He doesn't want fadeouts, just clear endings. Broadcast quality is required [excellent-sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three compositions online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Monday, May 4, 2009.

For the past few months I have been operating in a "I think I can" mode. I could complain all I wanted about the screener system in place. But now I KNOW I CAN as you say and at this point I believe it is up to me. I think the sun is shining a bit brighter this morning! Thanks to all here who have taken the time to give me some encouragement and training on this forum over the past few months!Keith

Keith,Big congrats on the all important first forward. Very happy for you. I like the use of the piano as well. Nice. GB
