Deadline coming SOON!

Dear Composers, Producers, and Songwriters,

Just a little reminder that the deadline is fast approaching for this rare opportunity to have your tracks included on a TAXI compilation going out to virtually all of our production music library clients. Take a minute to read the Listing (below) again, and send us tracks that fire on all cylinders: compositions, feel, EMOTION, recordings, and productions!

EMOTIONAL PIANO-Based INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for a TAXI COMPILATION going directly to A WHOLE BUNCH of TAXI's favorite Music Licensing Clients!

As always, we hold the bar high for these compilations, but the end result is that virtually every Instrumental or Cue on our comps gets signed. It's not uncommon for several companies to offer deals on the same piece. It's also not uncommon for the companies to ask our members to create new music for them, especially if they weren't fast enough to nail down a deal before their competitors did ;-)

We're searching for Emotional PIANO-BASED Instrumentals (and/or Cues) in a range of emotions and moods including (but not limited to): Introspective, Sad, Somber, Hopeful, Uplifting, Nostalgic, Joyful, Awe-Inspiring, Loneliness, Surprise, Anticipation, Grief, Jubilant, Longing, Melancholy, Heartbreaking, Fantasy/Wonderment, Cheerful, Triumphant, Pensive, Dejected, Regretful, Remorseful, Elated, Suspenseful, etc., etc., etc....

We're purposely not giving any references for this Listing because pretty much any style that effectively conveys a mood or emotion that a music supervisor, executive producer, film director, or editor would find compelling and "useful" could be fair game.

Our A&R team will have a simple mandate: Are they GREAT? Do they instantly capture, convey, or embellish an emotion or deepen a mood? Do they sound ready to go as is? Would they work well for placements in Film, TV, or maybe even Advertising? Would TAXI's music licensing clients be happy to hear them and want to sign them because they know they can make money with them? Once again, the bar will be high for this request.

No fades, please. Buttoned endings are needed, and edit points are recommended, although not necessarily in the form of a big, fat rest ;-)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Emotional Piano-Based Instrumentals and/or Cues can either be SOLO PIANO or PIANO with MINIMAL ACCOMPANIMENT (like strings, woodwinds, or synth pads). Keep your instrumentation very simple – solo piano OR one or two instruments in addition to the piano. Your pieces should have one central motif and mood – we are not looking for a score. The emotion needs to be obvious from the start, and remain consistent to the end.

Please submit well-composed Solo Piano Instrumentals (and/or Cues) that convey a clear emotion or mood from beginning to end. All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Do not submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ Songs, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed. Your mixes should be well-balanced, and if you choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please be sure they are of the highest quality and very realistic-sounding – nothing stiff, dated, or obviously MIDI-driven will work for this request.

Because the selected music will be going directly to many different Music Licensing Companies (all over the world), deal terms may vary. However, since many of the Companies that will get this compilation are EXCLUSIVE Libraries, we ask that the Instrumentals (and/or Cues) you pitch for this request are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. That includes any monetization, publishing, or publishing administration deals with online distributors like CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. If you don't want to sign an EXCLUSIVE deal, please don't submit for this listing. The companies that only do exclusive deals will not be willing to offer you (and you alone) a non-exclusive deal, no matter how much they love your piece(s). You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Cues 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 Thursday, April 20th, 2023. TAXI # S230420TX
