Hey, I could really use some feedback on this. I submitted a piece called Blue Flame http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/songs.php?userid=21443
for the following listing. Brutal honesty is all I ask for.
Y110506RK
World-Class NY AD AGENCY Needs a NEO-BLUES/ROCK INSTRUMENTAL TRACK for a TV spot for a Huge Telecom Company. They're NOT looking for classic Blues tracks. Leave your Stevie Ray Vaughan tracks on the shelf. Think more along the lines of Bowie's "Fame" or Black Keys for tempo, texture and vibe, and add a couple of cool, modern-ish sounds to make it contemporary. NY is asking us to give them some "old school/nu skool." Concentrate your efforts on giving your track a sassy rhythm and a little bounce, and don't worry about impressing them with your guitar prowess. Your track needs to sit under a voice-over, so if you go too Clapton on them you're likely to hurt your chances. This agency/product typically PAYS ON THE HIGH END of the scale, so give them what they want and you will sing the Blues no more! Give your track a title that makes them think you're a cool Indie artist-don't title it like you would for a music library pitch. This is DIRECT-to-the-Agency, so you'll KEEP 100% of this deal with NO publisher splits! C'mone somebody PLEASE land this sucker so we can brag about how much money you made!! Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent home recordings are fine). You must own or control 100% of the Master and Composition rights. If you ARE chosen, the Ad Agency will contact you DIRECTLY. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS. NO FULL CRITIQUES FROM TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than Friday, May 6th at 10am, (PDT). TAXI Listing # Y110506RK
