Help! "Does not meet the criteria of the listing..."
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 3:29 pm
Here's the listing:
COMEDIC DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a fast-growing, NON-Exclusive Production Music Library that’s sending music directly to the Music Supervisor of an extremely popular Reality TV Show franchise. They’re searching for Mid-To-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of these examples: Leah Remini: It’s All Relative (0:29 – 1:09): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_RvJqA4pl8 “Will Dives In” from The Little People (0:00-0:55) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSnuEbcaOY0 Please submit bouncy, fun, and lively Instrumental Cues that could work really well for hilarious or silly scenes in Reality TV shows. Stick to a central melodic idea, and add dynamics and interest by weaving different elements in and out as it progresses. You’d be smart to avoid submitting anything that’s overly busy for this pitch, as that could distract from a scene’s dialogue. Submissions should be about 1.5 Minutes long (give or take), with Non-Faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine). This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 split. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share. The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this pitch. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you’d like, online or on CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis – Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Tuesday, May 22nd, 2018. TAXI #Y180522CD
Here's the full critique:
"Hi Kerry,
I like the use of the brass interweaving with the mallet and pizz strings. Although, this does not meet the criteria of the listing. Consider listening to the references and notice the use of tempo and the animated feel. Listen to how the momentum carries the track."
Here's my submission:

I used 0:45-0:55 of the "Little People" reference as my guide. Definitely has a different vibe than the Remini example, but mine seems pretty close to the Little People, doesn't it? Can't figure out why my piece "does not meet the criteria of the listing." Any thoughts? Thanks, y'all!
