Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipORIGINAL BLUEGRASS INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Film/TV Music Publisher for (up to) $5,000 placements in an upcoming Hulu Series!
This Publisher is on the hunt for Mid Tempo Instrumentals that could work as a replacement for "Another Night" by Ricky Skaggs:
"Another Night" by Ricky Skaggs
Although the reference has vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this request.
IMPORTANT: They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We like the mid-tempo and acoustic approach of "Another Night" by Ricky Skaggs, and would like to hear instrumentals with the same mood, vibe, and energy."
Please send in original, well-crafted Bluegrass Instrumentals with lots of deep-south vibes and authentic Bluegrass musicianship! Your submissions should have depression-era motifs, expressive musical performances, sparse melodies, swung rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. Bluegrass instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference will work best for this opportunity, such as acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, etc. Live instrumentation is strongly suggested, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, make sure they are high-quality, very realistic-sounding, and appropriate for the genre.
All submissions should be roughly 2 to 4 minutes in length (give or take). Non-faded, Buttoned endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: The sync fees we were quoted were up to $5,000; however, our experience tells us that number is probably based on them licensing Instrumentals from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fees could be lower (in the $1,500 to $2,500 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.
This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Masters and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI screener that was handpicked by the Music Publisher. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, May 9th, 2024.

Although the reference has vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this request.
IMPORTANT: They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We like the mid-tempo and acoustic approach of "Another Night" by Ricky Skaggs, and would like to hear instrumentals with the same mood, vibe, and energy."
Please send in original, well-crafted Bluegrass Instrumentals with lots of deep-south vibes and authentic Bluegrass musicianship! Your submissions should have depression-era motifs, expressive musical performances, sparse melodies, swung rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. Bluegrass instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference will work best for this opportunity, such as acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, etc. Live instrumentation is strongly suggested, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, make sure they are high-quality, very realistic-sounding, and appropriate for the genre.

NOTE: The sync fees we were quoted were up to $5,000; however, our experience tells us that number is probably based on them licensing Instrumentals from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fees could be lower (in the $1,500 to $2,500 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.

This is an amazing opportunity to get in on the ground floor with an exciting new Company!
This Company is searching for a range of sparse, relaxing Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"Flying: Relaxing Sleep Music" by Soothing Relaxation
"Deep Sleep Music" by Yellow Brick Cinema
"Fall Into Sleep Instantly" by Weightless
NOTE: Even though the references may have rain, fountain, and babbling brook sound effects, the Label does NOT want them. No SFX, please!
Quoting the Company: "This music is needed for yoga studios, spas, wellness centers, as well as worldwide digital releases on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Youtube, etc. It needs to be VERY simple, and VERY sparse while creating a blissful, relaxing, sleep-inducing, dream-like state for the listener.
We're NOT looking for amazing compositional chops. This is MUCH more about creating a feeling of peace and serenity, as if the listener is wrapped in a warm blanket and letting go of everything around them. Moods can range from blissful, optimistic, introspective (but not so much as to be depressing), wondrous, tranquil, etc.
We’re looking for composers who can demonstrate that they understand that the music serves the specific purpose of lulling the listener(s) into a calm, relaxed state.

Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and sound very realistic if they are orchestral-based.
NOTE: Orchestral-based arrangements with a modern edge OR Hybrid/Orchestral arrangements with elements such as synths, bass growls, futuristic impacts, etc. could both potentially work. Just make sure there is plenty of dramatic, Sci-Fi energy!

"Moonlight Becomes You" by Eddie Higgins
"I Can't Give You Anything but Love" by Billie Holiday
"April In Paris" by Count Basie
Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only for this request.
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We are looking for old-school Jazz with swing. (some blues-influence could potentially work as well) They should have an emotionally upbeat/danceable sound, and they need to showcase personality, attitude, and character. They also need to evoke emotion and have a feel-good, positive vibe."
Please submit original, well-crafted Jazz Instrumentals with lots of positive vibes, danceable rhythms, and the type of sound that is reminiscent of "crooner-era" Jazz! Your submissions should have jazz-inspired motifs, expressive musical performances, feel-good melodies, swingin' rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. Jazz instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best for this opportunity, such as brass, strings, piano, upright bass, drums, etc. Live instrumentation is strongly suggested, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, make sure they are high-quality, very realistic-sounding, and appropriate for the genre.
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded Instrumentals in the general style of the reference, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), they would love to hear those as well!

Broadcast Quality is needed.
NOTE: The sync fees we were quoted were up to $5,000; however, our experience tells us that number is probably based on them licensing Instrumentals from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fees could be lower (in the $2,500 to $3,500 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.
This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Masters and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD.

Quoting the Company: "This music is needed for yoga studios, spas, wellness centers, as well as worldwide digital releases on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Youtube, etc. It needs to be VERY simple, and VERY sparse while creating a blissful, relaxing, sleep-inducing, dream-like state for the listener.
We're NOT looking for amazing compositional chops.

We’re looking for composers who can demonstrate that they understand that the music serves the specific purpose of lulling the listener(s) into a calm, relaxed state.

NOTE: The sync fees we were quoted were up to $10,000; however, our experience tells us that this quote is probably based on them licensing a Song from a well-known act through a big publisher like Sony or Universal. We think the sync fees could be lower (in the $2,500 to $5,000 range) for an unknown, independent act or music licensed from a music library. It could go higher – we’re just being cautious and conservative.
This Publisher offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll keep 100% of the Master rights and the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's Share for any placements they generate.

"Have You Never Been Mellow" by Olivia Newton-John
"It's Too Late" by Carole King
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general style of the references that capture the authentic sound needed, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), they would love to hear those as well!
Please send them a wide range of original Adult Contemporary Songs with female vocals that have a genuine '70s sound and style. Your submissions should include memorable melodies and choruses, solid arrangements, era-appropriate sounds and production, and well-crafted lyrics with a style reminiscent of the '70s. Instrumentation may vary, but it needs to fall in the general ballpark of the references and sound-era-appropriate. Please be sure your vocals are well performed from start to finish, with solid, classic deliveries. The more authentic your Songs sound to the era, the better!
TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you're on the right path with new renditions of Vintage music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail in regards to what sounds authentic, the better chance you might have to get this company's attention!
But, as always: Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.

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.

NOTE: This company pays an upfront fee to creators! See below.
Notable: Vocalese is a jazz vocal style that involves singing recognizable lyrics to pre-existing instrumental solos.
Due to the wide-ranging nature of this request, we didn't include references, as we felt they could potentially be more misleading or limiting than helpful.
QUOTING THE COMPANY'S CEO: "We are looking for quirky, offbeat, odd, and upbeat recordings. We definitely want vocals - particularly vocalese, and songs should have a sense of fun. Songs need to have real instruments (not MIDI), and be recorded before 2010."
Broadcast Quality should be era-appropriate. You can submit old masters — or even well-recorded/produced demos — for this request.
Please submit a wide range of original, quirky Songs recorded before 2010! Your submissions should have a fun sound and creative vocal deliveries such as vocalese, scat, non-sensical lyrics, etc. Light-hearted melodies, emotionally upbeat motifs, engaging rhythms, and solid arrangements are all needed as well. Since this listing is open to a wide range of styles and genres, instrumentation may vary – but please ensure that your submissions contain real instruments, per their request. Well-performed vocals with an "out-of-the-box" sound could help get this Company's attention!
Most examples of Vocalese are Mid-to-Uptempo, so stick with that if you'd like to be in the "safe zone."
Please make sure your Songs were actually recorded before 2010, otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good.
