Hi Folks

I am looking for some feedback on this cue. So when you listen I am using 2 piano parts so not a solo piano but I don't think the references are all solo piano. I was trying to k
eep building and found two pianos were more effective. I would be thankful for feedback

thanks

EMOTIONAL SOLO PIANO INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a globally distributed M
usic Licensing Company that's represented in over 75 countries and has a lot of success landing TONS of Major Network placements every year!

This Company is on the hunt for building Instrumental Cues in the general wheelhouse of the following references we got directly from them:

We are in this together NBC News & MSNBC Campaign

"Nuvole Bianche" by Ludovico Einaudi

WeCanWeWill Campaign

Although some of the references include additional instrumentation, please submit Solo Piano Instrumental Cues only for this request.

Please send well-performed Solo Piano Instrumental Cues that start with a subtle beginning and gradually build throughout to a climactic crescendo. Your submissions should have engaging motifs, excellent musicianship, well-balanced production, and top-notch arrangements that capture the emotional journey this Company is looking for. Solo piano is required for this pitch. If you choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please be sure they are of the highest quality and sound like the real thing as nothing stiff, dated, or overly MIDI-driven will work.

Your submissions should be about 90 seconds to 2 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so the material you submit for this request CANNOT be signed with other publishers or catalogs. Sync fees will be split 50/50. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll keep 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity.

Sorry - that's a "No" - neither of those links are available for PUBLIC access.
Have you set the Soundcloud one to PRIVATE?
If so, you can still use the "SHARE" link option, and only those using it will be able to listen - in case you're trying to protect your work.

Likewise, the TAXI link shows the dreaded "404 Error".
Hope you can sort those things out, if you want others to be able to listen and offer the feedback you desire.
Cheers.

YES - the Soundcloud link now works.
NO - still the "404 Error" on the TAXI page - somehow you're not configuring the link to lead to your member page.

To these old-guy ears, regarding the piano track: 2 pennies worth:
1st) the composition sounds good.
2nd) it sounds like a computer playing sheet music: very 'robotic' - it doesn't sound like a smooth, live player and performance.

Other, more astute ears may hear something different.
From The Peanut Gallery - I hope that helps...

Hi and thanks for the listen, comments and reply. I agree that it does sound robotic. Thing is to my ears a lot of these simple cues sound robotic ..... In the new version I had remove the arpeggios and kept it simply. I played it live but did "fix" a few things.

I think the general composition is fine but the piano sound is not very good, it sounds like a cheap midi keyboard type sound and it's not played very expressively

Also, I would not assume that two pianos would work for this request, especially given that the listing says, "Although some of the references include additional instrumentation, please submit Solo Piano Instrumental Cues only for this request."
