***EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be present and in the ballroom when the Instrumentals are being selected and played during the panel. If you're not present, we will move on to the next person and your music will not be heard by the panelists.***
VERY IMPORTANT: Please note that we have 3 different Listings for this panel: SONGS for LABEL/PUBLISHER, INSTRUMENTALS/CUES for FILM/TV, and SONGS for FILM/TV so we can alternate what we play during the panel. The Songs for FILM/TV (#S241019SG) and Songs for LABEL/PUBLISHER (#S241020LB) versions of this Listing have different Listing numbers, so please submit accordingly! This Listing is for INSTRUMENTALS/CUES for FILM/TV Pitch only.
- Submissions played during this panel will be chosen randomly from a playlist generated from this TAXI Listing!
- Submissions will NOT be pre-screened, so every submission has an EQUAL CHANCE of being randomly selected and played on the panel by a randomization algorithm!
- Submissions NOT played during the panel will be screened about 30 days after the Rally, and Forwards will be sent to the panelists.
- You get two chances at having the panelists hear your Instrumentals/Cues: 1) Randomly during the panel, or 2) By getting Forwarded by TAXI’s A&R people after the Rally!
The mandate to TAXI’s A&R team for Instrumentals and/or Cues submitted for this Listing, but NOT played on the panel will be, “Forward Instrumentals and/or Cues that you think are strong and (most importantly) usable in the context of Film and TV."
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, and roughly 90 seconds to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take.
CRITICAL INFORMATION:
****Please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is ORIGINAL (no covers) and NOT already signed with any Music Libraries or Publishers, including CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, Songtrust, etc. Using those companies for distribution is totally fine, but if your Instrumentals and/or Cues are signed to any other companies for monetization or royalty collection, you have likely already be entered into an agreement that would negate any other Music Libraries or Publishers from being desirous of signing that same material.****
Only current TAXI members who will still be members during the Road Rally (November 7th-10th, 2024) can submit for this panel.

****EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be present and in the ballroom when Instrumentals and Cues are being selected and played during the panel. If you're not present, we will move on to the next person and your music will not be heard by the panelists.****
How it works:
- Instrumentals and Cues played during this panel will be chosen randomly from a playlist generated from this TAXI Listing!
- Instrumentals and Cues submitted will NOT be prescreened before the panel, so every submission has an EQUAL CHANCE of being randomly selected and played on the panel by a randomization algorithm!
- Submissions NOT played during the panel will be screened about 30 days after the Rally, and Forwards will be sent to the panelists.
- You get two chances at having the panelists hear your Instrumentals and Cues: 1) Randomly during the panel, or 2) By getting Forwarded by TAXI’s A&R people after the Rally!
The mandate to TAXI’s A&R team for Instrumentals and Cues submitted for this Listing, but NOT played on the panel will be, “Forward Instrumentals and Cues that you think are strong and (most importantly) usable in the context of Film and TV."
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take.
You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity.
AI ALERT: These panelists and their companies do not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
CRITICAL INFORMATION:
****Please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is ORIGINAL (no covers) and NOT already signed with any Music Libraries or Publishers, including CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, Songtrust, etc. Using those companies for distribution is totally fine, but if your Instrumentals and/or Cues are signed to any other companies for monetization or royalty collection, you have likely already be entered into an agreement that would negate any other Music Libraries or Publishers from being desirous of signing that same material.****
Only current TAXI members who will still be members during the Road Rally (November 7th-10th, 2024) can submit for this panel.
Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, October 21st, 2024. TAXI # S241021NS

Quoting the Label: "We are looking for Songs that embody a modern reinterpretation of early to mid-2000s type R&B Dance/Pop. (think The Neptunes, Timbaland, etc.) They need to have a modern sophistication to them. A Sing-along topline section in the chorus is needed as well. The topline should feel like it's bordering pop, while still reflecting the influence of R&B. Please avoid macho or intense urban music style toplines in the style of Nelly, B2K or Destiny's Child."
Please submit Pop/R&B Songs that bring a modern spin to the iconic Pop/R&B sounds of the early 2000s! Engaging rhythms, sing-a-long choruses, memorable melodies, dynamic arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics in English are all needed here. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references and others like them will work best. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very modern. Well-performed and expressive Male vocals with smooth deliveries will go a long way. Your Songs should capture the essence of early 2000s Pop/R&B but with a fresh, exciting, and modern twist!
IMPORTANT: This Label CANNOT use anything with vulgar language or sexually explicit/graphic lyrical content.
Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics. Time permitting, someone who works directly with the Label (who has been trained as a TAXI Screener) may screen and critique some or all of the submissions.

This is part of a live music selection session in the Grand Ballroom at this year's TAXI Road Rally conference!
EXCITING NOTE: Some of these submissions will get used by the music supervisor in a live, Grand Ballroom, Main-Stage presentation at the TAXI Road Rally conference where the supervisor will play them with video from the actual scene, and discuss what works and what might not be a good fit.
The Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Mid-Tempo Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references that he gave us:
"Best Part Of Me" by Ed Sheeran ft. YEBBA
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "The scene is a quiet home family visit with son/wife and father, finally taking the time to have a pleasant evening together around the dinner table. Music would play quietly in the background, from a home stereo. We're looking for Songs on the acoustic/light side with mid-tempo, or moving ballads. It can't be distracting sonically.”
Please submit well-crafted Singer-Songwriter/Pop Songs with organic instrumentation and a relaxed, pleasant sound and vibe. Your submissions should have catchy melodies, engaging rhythms, well-crafted lyrics, and expressive, well-performed vocals with a lighter touch. Full productions or more stripped-down approaches could both potentially work, as long as the overall sound and vibe is on the lighter side and maintains a warm, inviting feel. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will suit your submissions best, such as acoustic guitar, keys, drums, bass, etc. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and very realistic sounding.
Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity could make your Songs more usable for this placement. Please do NOT copy the referenced Songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, and tone. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES for Submissions: The Supervisor mentioned that in addition to finding the right track for the current project, he’ll also be considering music for similar future projects. So even if your track isn’t selected this film, he will add appropriate songs to his personal stash for possible inclusion in other upcoming projects that need similar songs!
AI ALERT: This Supervisor does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does he accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
This will be a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, get 100% of any applicable performance royalties, and also be included in the film’s credits. No Publisher splits! You must own or control the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD.

"The National Anthem of The Commonwealth of Australia" performed by AnthemKing
"O Canada" performed by L'Orchestra Cinématique
"The Star Spangled Banner (Metal Version)" by Deon Van Heerden
This Company is looking for national anthems from the following countries: Canada, Japan, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
NOTE: They are mainly looking for TRADITIONAL arrangements, but are open to NON-TRADITIONAL arrangements as well.
Please submit well-performed Instrumental Covers of National Anthems from the countries listed above! Your submissions should include solid production and easily recognizable melodies that stay true to the original. Instrumentation may vary based on which direction you go, but please remember that this Company is mainly looking for Traditional arrangements. Should you choose to take a Non-Traditional approach, your composition must still honor the essence of the original while conveying a strong sense of patriotism and authenticity for the respective country. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very realistic if they are organic-based.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
Tracks need to have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
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. Time-permitting, someone from the Company may screen some or all of the submissions. You must own or control your Master to pitch for this opportunity. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, October 27th, 2024. TAXI # S241027MN

NOTE: This Company is NEW to requesting music from TAXI, so this is a great opportunity to create a new relationship for you and your music with a company that gets AWESOME placements with MAJOR brands.
This Library is searching for Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references:
"Islamic Background Music" by No Copyright Music
"Calm Humming Islamic Nasheed" by Al Nur
"Islamic Emotional Background Music Copyright Free" by No Copyright Music
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This Company is specifically hunting for instrumental tracks featuring ambient, non-lyrical vocalizations and vocal improvisations, similar to the reference tracks. However, please do NOT include any religious chants or lyrics.
Please submit original Instrumentals with a subdued, ambient energy, and ethereal vocalizations with an authentic Middle-Eastern sound! Your submissions should have culturally rich motifs, minimal-to-no rhythm, and free-flowing arrangements with gradual forward motion. Instrumentation should fall in the general stylistic ballpark of the references (think ambient synths, Duduk, Oud, Qanun, Ney, etc.). Please ensure that any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Original compositions only, please!
This Client let us know that they would LOVE to work with artists/composers with ties to the region. That said, it's not a requirement - as long as you have some great tracks with an authentic sound, they still want to hear what you’ve got!
All submissions should be around 1.5 to 3 minutes in length, give or take. Natural sounding, buttoned endings will work best. (No long fadeouts, please.) Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, 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: This client will need alternate mixes and STEMs, but not yet! ALL YOU NEED TO SEND RIGHT NOW ARE FULL VERSIONS. Please have the alternative versions on-hand and ready to send at a moment's notice if the client contacts you. If the company DOES contact you, they will ask that your alternate mixes and STEMs are delivered to them as 24 bit, 48kHz, 2-channel stereo WAV files with Integrated Loudness Exactly -16 LUFS, and Absolute True Peak no louder than -2 dBTP. But again, for your initial submissions to TAXI, all you need to submit are full-versions, like every other submission.
IMPORTANT: If you had any vocalist(s) or session musician(s) (other than yourself) perform on your Instrumentals, please be sure to have work-for-hire agreements on-hand if contacted by the Company.
