Just received notice of three forwards and three returns. It pretty much went as I expected because the ones that were returned I thought may be a stretch.if anyone wants to listen the forwards were ; thishttp://www.billgaunce.com/song/92for;HORROR/THRILLER/SUSPENSE INSTRUMENTALS are needed immediately by the Executive Producer and Music Supervisor for an Indie Horror Film set to be released in the next month. They’re in urgent need of some great instrumentals that sound terrifying, nerve-wracking, intense, suspenseful, etc. They’re open to all styles and approaches, but will be especially interested in the climactic build from suspense/tension to horrific momentum. Instrumentation is open, but try to keep these between 1:00-3:00 in length. Feel free to include “freaky” sound effects, as long as they’re tastefully mixed into the rest of the instrumentation - so as not to interfere with the natural sounds of the scene. This film is set in a remote cabin, with a group of twenty-somethings battling for their lives - there will be a good amount of “stabbing” and “chasing through the woods” scenes, to give you a hint of the storyline and tone. Performances need to be excellent and the recordings should definitely be Broadcast Quality (great home recordings should be fine). Please submit one to three tracks 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 Noon PST on Thursday, October 9, 2008. TAXI #D081009INand these two;http://www.billgaunce.com/song/95http:/ ... song/21for this;60s/70s-influenced ORIGINAL CLASSIC ROCK SONGS a la “Somebody To Love” by Jefferson Airplane, “People Are Strange” or “Break On Through” by The Doors, “I Can See For Miles” by The Who, “Crossroads” by Cream, etc. are wanted by the Executive Producer and Music Supervisor for an Indie Film set during the Vietnam War. These song references are similar to the tone, tempo and overall approach that they’re looking for - but they don’t need specific “soundalikes” for this one. They merely want original Classic Rock songs that sound authentic to the era and are mid to uptempo. The performances should be very much like listening to the “real deal” - if your song is playing over a radio in the movie, could we mistake it for one of the artists referenced above? They need quite a few great songs that fit squarely into the 60s/70s sound and they’d love to hear some edgy lyrics - sex, drugs, rock -n- roll. That said, they’ll be open to any lyric content - just keep in mind that the primary characters are male soldiers in the Vietnam War and the story revolves loosely around the events of that time. Male or female vocals are fine, but male will be preferable unless the female vocal is in the style of Janis Joplin or Signe Anderson (Jefferson Airplane). Broadcast Quality is required, but the recordings/production can be quite simple - they don’t need to sound too polished for this one. Capturing the requested era, vibe, tone and approach will make the biggest difference here. Please submit one to three songs 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 Noon PST on Tuesday, October 14, 2008. TAXI #D081014CR
