QUOTING THE CEO OF THE COMPANY: "We’re looking for tracks with a light, neutral feel, featuring simple motifs and textured layers. The arpeggiated patterns should be smooth and fluid, and there needs to be a nice blend of both organic and electronic sounds. These tracks should be versatile, working well for technology, documentaries, science, arts, and human-interest stories."
Please submit well-crafted Instrumentals (and/or Cues) with a simple and fairly neutral sound that seamlessly combines electronic and organic instrumentation. Your submissions should have arpeggiated melodies, simple motifs, engaging rhythms, textural sound design, flowing patterns, solid arrangements, and lots of forward motion and interest throughout. These tracks should be versatile enough to complement a wide range of media, effortlessly enhancing narratives without drawing too much attention to themselves. Instrumentation and production in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work, but please ensure they have a seamless blend of organic and electronic elements! All virtual instruments or samples you use must be high-quality and genre-appropriate.
Your submissions should be roughly 1.5 minutes long for Cues, and about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best.

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.****

The amazing Ms. Frederick needs a few Songs (from TAXI members) in the POP and SINGER/SONGWRITER genres that she can choose from to use during her live presentation in the Grand Ballroom. Robin will personally listen to all submissions to select the ones she will play and comment on. Due to the unusual nature of this listing, the feedback will be different than normal TAXI feedback.
Robin needs Pop and/or Singer/Songwriter songs that are based on YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY, and your submissions must have lyric sheets. Repeating: Robin needs your lyric sheet with your submission. Take note:
Here’s the panel description…
“TURN YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY INTO HIT SONGS” --- What do Adele, John Legend, Taylor Swift, Sting, and Jason Isbell have in common? They all write from life experience and turn that experience into hit songs. Join Robin Frederick, author of the best-selling books Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting and Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV, to find out how you can mine your authentic life story for some chart-worthy gold.
Music played and critiqued during the second half-hour of this class will be from a playlist generated from a panel-specific TAXI Listing that ran prior to the Rally. Robin will listen to all submissions and choose several to include during the hour.
One randomly selected TAXI member who submitted for this panel will win a one-hour consult with the amazing Ms. Frederick. You must be in the Grand Ballroom to win.
IMPORTANT: You will only get critiques telling you if your submissions were forwarded or not. You won’t get the normal suggestions from our A&R staff. Robin will personally choose which Songs she’d like to work with during her presentation. If you’re going to the Road Rally, make sure to attend the presentation!
One randomly selected TAXI member who submitted for this panel will win a one-hour consult with the amazing Ms. Frederick. You must be in the Grand Ballroom during the presentation to win.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipTAXI ROAD RALLY 2024 – MODERN SINGER-SONGWRITER/POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a Direct-to-Music Supervisor Placement in an Indie Feature Film.
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. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, October 24th, 2024. TAXI # S241024AC

The amazing Ms. Frederick needs a few Songs (from TAXI members) in the POP and SINGER/SONGWRITER genres that she can choose from to use during her live presentation in the Grand Ballroom. Robin will personally listen to all submissions to select the ones she will play and comment on. Due to the unusual nature of this listing, the feedback will be different than normal TAXI feedback.
Robin needs Pop and/or Singer/Songwriter songs that are based on YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY, and your submissions must have lyric sheets. Repeating: Robin needs your lyric sheet with your submission. Take note:
Here’s the panel description…
“TURN YOUR AUTHENTIC STORY INTO HIT SONGS” --- What do Adele, John Legend, Taylor Swift, Sting, and Jason Isbell have in common? They all write from life experience and turn that experience into hit songs. Join Robin Frederick, author of the best-selling books Shortcuts to Hit Songwriting and Shortcuts to Songwriting for Film & TV, to find out how you can mine your authentic life story for some chart-worthy gold.
Music played and critiqued during the second half-hour of this class will be from a playlist generated from a panel-specific TAXI Listing that ran prior to the Rally. Robin will listen to all submissions and choose several to include during the hour.
One randomly selected TAXI member who submitted for this panel will win a one-hour consult with the amazing Ms. Frederick. You must be in the Grand Ballroom to win.
IMPORTANT: You will only get critiques telling you if your submissions were forwarded or not. You won’t get the normal suggestions from our A&R staff. Robin will personally choose which Songs she’d like to work with during her presentation. If you’re going to the Road Rally, make sure to attend the presentation!

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipTAXI ROAD RALLY 2024 – MODERN SINGER-SONGWRITER/POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a Direct-to-Music Supervisor Placement in an Indie Feature Film.
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. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, October 24th, 2024. TAXI # S241024AC
