Ambient Meditation Submission Feedback Request

Looking for feedback on this track before submitting for this listing: TAXI # S210904AM

https://www.taxi.com/members/Gjdf7sdFR5 ... in-journey


Lots of AMBIENT MEDITATION INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Digital Content Platform for several (up to) $500 placements in guided meditation programs they're producing.

NOTE: This Company is brand new to requesting music from TAXI, so this is a great opportunity to get connected with an awesome company!

This Company is looking for Instrumentals that would fall within the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

"Polaris" by Celestial Realms

"Red Geranium" by Chris Coco

"Highlands" by Nagawa Meditation

"Yuna" by Levitating Moon

"FEET" by Hiroshi Yoshimura

Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this pitch.

Please submit well-produced Ambient Meditation Instrumentals with high-quality organic or electronic-based instrumentation – or a combination of both. If you're using any virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding. Imagine the type of music you might hear in a spa or yoga studio – that's what this Company wants to hear!

TAXI Tip: Pieces with a "drone-like" sound or subtle melodic movement could both work for this request. Just be sure that they are relaxing, meditative, and wouldn't distract from the guided meditation voiceover!

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT include any sound effects in your music such as animal sounds, waterfalls, wind chimes, raindrops, etc.

All submissions should be at least 3 minutes in length and no longer than 7 minutes. Non-faded, buttoned endings will work best. Please do not copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for feel, texture, and tone. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis directly with the client. The estimated producer fees (paid to creators) are (up to) $500, depending on the ultimate use. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals 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 Saturday, September 4th, 2021. TAXI # S210904AM



Thanks in advance,

DK

Link is no good. Make sure profile and song are both "PUBLIC".

I'll stop back, Geo

Works now.

Sounds very clean, solid production.

I don't know the ins and out of the genre but I felt like it should go somewhere. I know it's meditative but a little cascade break down or something? IDK.

It did set my buzz nice so there's that 8-)

Good luck!!

Geo

I think you need to check output levels... there seems to be some distortion going on (in the "red"?), most noticeable in the piano tingle's third note.

Otherwise not my thing at all, but perhaps even for meditation the drum is too repetitive?

Nice work. I'm putting three of these together to submit also so it was really good to listen to yours. Funny I used a moon guitar for a repetitive background similar to your drums and also a three note melody. It's nice to hear what you have put together, thanks.

Hi Douglas,
very nice sounds and a smooth ambient feel, for sure! I think I agree with the above comments that a little bit more variation would be a benefit. I'm thinking even something as minor as offsetting one of the loops' entrance by a beat after the first "n" repetitions. Just to change it up in a non-threatening way :lol:

In all seriousness, I'm not sure that your title is appropriate for a music supe that's looking for relaxing meditation music. The title makes me feel apprehensive before I've heard note one. Just sayin'

I hope to have a track for peer review up in a few days. Alan
