Liner notes

Originally written for TAXI as Organic Symphony, but every time I listened to it it reminded me of a ride in the country. As I was in need of additional original material for the "Christmas Time of the Year" CD, I added bells & effects to give it more of a sleigh ride feel. The original Taxi request was:

Major New York Ad Agency U-R-G-E-N-T-L-Y needs a "Fun, slightly quirky, eclectic INSTRUMENTAL TRACK that is in the BALLPARK of the music used in this video:

This reference video is NOT the actual video they need the music for, and it's NOT for Google Chrome! The REAL video does have a similar fun, animated vibe. They just need something that has the overall "TONE and MANNER (quoting NY on that!)" of the referenced video, so you'd be smart to capture the TEMPO, FEEL, and ATTITUDE without ripping it off in any way, shape or form. Make sure your ORIGINAL TRACK is at LEAST two-minutes in length, has a faded ending, uses an eclectic mix of instruments and has a modern feel/sound that DOESN'T get repetitive and holds the viewers' interest. Easy, right?! The music supervisor is ESTIMATING the fee for this to be around $5,000. This is DIRECT-to-the-Agency, so you'll KEEP 100% of this deal with NO Publisher Splits! 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 or the Music Supervisor will contact you DIRECTLY. Please submit one to three TRACKS 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, NOVEMBER 18th at 5pm, (PDT). TAXI Listing #Y111118IN
