Some Validation Today!

Yay! Someone likes my art! I just had two songs forwarded by Taxi to "a major league EXCLUSIVE Music Licensing Firm that's been placing TAXI members’ music in Film and TV for years" in the genre of AMBIENT NEW AGE INSTRUMENTALS. Fingers crossed, it will lead to something! The actual songs are posted under Glenn's recent request for songs that are sync ready, and for those interested, this is the brief that I responded to:

-------------------------------------------------------

This Company would really love to find Down-Tempo Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references and others like them:

"Sunrise" by nelward

"Freedom at the 45th Floor" by Pauline Anna Strom

"Forest I" by Peter Davison

"Pastel Memories" by Lionmilk

Please submit Ambient New Age Instrumentals that feel both hugely spacious and deeply calming! Your Compositions should be serene and atmospheric, emphasizing slow evolution throughout, rather than more traditional "Pop" style structures. Flowing soundscapes, gentle, very slow-developing melodies and motifs, little to no rhythmic content, and an overall sense of relaxation and mindfulness are all recommended to nail this pitch. Your arrangements should be uncluttered yet immersive, with no abrupt changes, big dynamic moments, or distracting moments that might jar the listener.

Instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references and similar Ambient New Age works is recommended, including airy synthesizers, synth pads, gentle piano, soft strings, drones, and organic elements like chimes or light sound design. If you're using virtual instruments or samples, they need to be high-quality and current-sounding. Original Compositions only, please!

All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Buttoned endings with a natural fade-out will work best. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

AI ALERT: This Company can't sign music with melody, lyrics, backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with generative AI. Using AI-based plugins, mixing, or mastering tools is okay.

IMPORTANT! Per our client, your submissions must:

1) NOT be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive), including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc.

2) Be 100% original – no soundalikes, no covers, and no recordings with samples.

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 submit for this opportunity, and you need to be affiliated with a Performing Rights Organization for this company to include your music in their catalog. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you'd like, online or per CD. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. TAXI
