Hi everyone this dispatch came up and I was wondering if you all think my song Heart To Heart would fit the bill.Thanks mBhttp://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?ba ... T-SOUNDING ACOUSTIC GUITAR/PIANO INSTRUMENTALS are needed immediately by a Music Licensing company run by a veteran of the industry, for various Film/TV placements. A current sound is requested and a primarily solo/acoustic sound is what is most needed here. It's okay if there are a few background instruments in the mix, as long as the main focus is on the acoustic instrument that's featured. A variety of moods will be considered, as they'll be looking for tracks that are appropriate for dramatic Film/TV scenes as well as light/happy/comedic scenes. They'll also be interested in some that are heart-warming/inspirational/romantic. All tempos will be considered, but ballads to mid tempo will be most desirable for this one. Instrumentation is open - just be sure the sound is simple, acoustic and not overbearing or imposing dynamically. Your tracks need to be 2-5 minutes long and be of the highest quality - they're looking for exceptional instrumentals and performances. Broadcast quality is absolutely essential. They offer a non-exclusive deal where all profits are split 50/50 between the company and the writer (you keep your copyrights). Please submit 1-3 instrumentals 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 10am PST on Tuesday, September 16, 2008. TAXI #D080916IN

U OLD ROMANTIC U..... .Might be a little heavy in the intro department, But the rest is just perfect....They say dramatic ...lot of moods considerd...Main Focus On Acoustic Instrument.....I think Zoom....Mojo...Bird... Dave, and some of the more experience ones will give u the right answer on this piece....Anyway..Superb piece again..... Jay.......

mild guyI used to be impressed with your stuff, up that to blown away.This is truly an impressive piece.After the completion and a listen, don't you just sit back and say "wow"?? I did that??Congrats AGAIN Paul

Ummmm... I'm surprised you even needed to ask on this one mB..... ante up!!

Mild Bill! What worries me with this listing is the emphasis on "a primarily solo/acoustic sound is what is most needed here". This is why I struck this one off my current list of possibles, because I'd need to hide MY guitar under a bushel of strings pads and horns which loses that "solo/acoustic sound" which I tend to interpret as meaning the two instruments, nothing more. Or nothing much more, anyway. The pads DO give it that "current-sounding" feel, which would be real trick with unadorned acoustics...But I think this is one of those cases where you could throw the $5 in the hat and see what jumps out. The time spent agonising over whether to or not has probably cost you more than $5 already!Must say, I could be verrrry jealous of Heart to Heart were I not possessed of remarkable self-control. Verrrrrrrrrrry jealous....

Thanks Tadpole If you really want to know the truth it's the rejection that hurts me a lot more than the 5 bucks. If they are looking for music that is primarily a guitar / piano piece this song would fit what they want. If this is not what they want then they ought to credit my back the $5. PS Believe me you have nothing to be jealous of my friend your music is great. mild Bill

Ok orest I'll tell you what I will get my friend Warren to call for us .......................hummmmmm on second thought I better call them, Warren might get himself and us kicked off of Taxi if he talks to them. LOL just kidding Warren sort of mB

Thanks!!...whoever makes the call....

Thanks! The guitar is a 40-year old Martin D-28, but I mixed the mic'd signal with a Dean Markley soundhole pickup thru a tube preamp. The midi sound is from an outboard Emu Proteus 2000.I'm guessing it won't pass the "...not overbearing..." critieria of the listing. But it was a fun experience to work & rework the arrangement between the 4 themes and two instruments. But more-over it was a exercise in adding compression, EQ and reverb and then doing the volume and pan mix. BTW, the song is in 17/8, but who's counting?
