First Forwards! (Minimalist Piano)

Finally got through those pesky taxi screeners with a couple of of my minimalist piano pieces... I guess this time I actually paid attention to the listing instead of doing my patented "this is pretty close" routine! Glad to see some others had success with this listing too!MINIMALIST PIANO INSTRUMENTALS a la Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, etc. are needed by an East Coast Music Library/Publisher who has signed and placed dozens of TAXI songs over the past several years. He's looking for very spare piano arrangements with a minimalist approach and tone. Repetitive melodic motives and compelling dynamics could provide the right kind of foundation. The tracks should be between 1:00 and 3:00 long. If he likes your track and is interested in offering a deal, he may also request :30 and :60 edits. He requests that your pieces have clear endings, no fadeouts. Excellent performances are necessary and the sound quality should be great. Broadcast quality is required [excellent-sounding home recordings are OK]. 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 July 14, 2008.

zoom, beautiful work. i agree with linziellen - raindrops is beautiful, i love the way you play with the rhythm on that one. both i felt were extremely well crafted examples of minimalism.

Hey zoom, congratulations! Raindrops in particular is really nice. Wonderful use of both dynamics and tempo. And only with piano - no other supporting instruments.Good job.Steve
