Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."

Meaningful choruses, solid arrangements, engaging rhythms, and expressive, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Country instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best.

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
NOTE: This Film Producer is open to hearing both high-quality Vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), OR recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the reference and others like it.
Please submit well-crafted Folk/Traditional Pop Songs with a nostalgic, sentimental sound, timeless melodies, and beautiful harmonies.

Please submit well-crafted Alternative Rock Songs with a high-intensity sound and a frantic, on-edge energy! Catchy hooks, memorable choruses, solid arrangements, unconventional motifs, and expressive, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Alternative Rock instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best, such as electric guitar, bass, drums, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and realistic-sounding.

Live instrumentation is encouraged, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, please ensure they are high-quality and very realistic.
IMPORTANT: If you’re using commercially-cleared samples, please ensure they’re layered with additional elements to avoid any copyright violations or breaches of usage agreements. Do not rely on single samples playing unaltered during sections of your track!

QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "Songs should match the reference material in tone, tempo, and instrumentation. Vocals can be either male or female. The themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."
IMPORTANT: While this Company would love to hear material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in the 1950s (or early 1960s), they are open to recordings from any era, as long as they capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to be virtually indistinguishable from authentic, vintage recordings!
Please submit well-crafted Doo-Wop/Rock & Roll Songs with an authentic '50s sound, style, and vibe. Sentimental choruses, doo-wop style harmonies, swingin' rhythms, feel-good motifs, and expressive, well-performed lead vocals are all needed. Your songs should evoke a nostalgic, heart-on-your-sleeve vibe, with catchy melodies that flow seamlessly over rich, vocal-driven arrangements. Authentic-sounding instrumentation that stays in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Capturing the innocent, feel-good energy of the reference is key, and the instrumentation and production should feel timeless, warm, and effortlessly classic.
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity is ok here. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipDARK, CHAOTIC METAL SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a Direct-to-Music Supervisor Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.
The Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:
WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Deep in the Willow" by Knocked Loose
Please submit Metal Songs with an overtly aggressive, intense, and chaotic sound that could be found on a playlist with the references! Your submissions should have dark melodies, intense rhythms, and metal-oriented vocal deliveries, such as screams, growls, inhales, vocal fry, etc. This Supervisor is looking for tracks that deliver a disturbing intensity and unleash pure chaos, with a raw, no-holds-barred sound. Think aggressive, unrelenting energy and a sense of looming unease. Instrumentation in the general style of the references will suit your submissions best, such as layered electric guitars, hard-hitting drums, bass, etc. Please be sure any virtual instruments or sounds you use need to be high-quality and genre-appropriate.
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.
NOTE: TAXI doesn't normally take requests for music for Indie Films unless there is a sync fee paid to the music creators. If there are any sync fees paid for this project, they will likely be on the smaller side (we would guesstimate less than $1,000), with most of the income earned via P.R.O. royalties paid down the road. However, this request comes from an excellent Music Supervisor who has a history of using music from TAXI's members. We think this is a great chance to (possibly) make some money upfront; and maybe, more importantly, it's an opportunity for this extremely busy Music Supervisor to get to know you and your music (and at the very least, make some performance income when the film streams or goes to cable).
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.
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 credit listing. 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 themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."
Please submit Rock songs with haunting compositions, raw emotions, and a dark, impending tone. Unforgettable hooks, engaging rhythms, brooding motifs, dark melodies, dynamic arrangements, well-written lyrics, and expressive, impassioned vocal deliveries are all needed. Your submissions should evoke a sense of urgency, struggle, and tension mixed with vulnerability and impending danger. Rock instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best, such as guitars, drums, bass, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and very realistic sounding. Male or Female vocals both work!
Per the Film Producer, profanity is ok here. Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

Please submit well-crafted Doo-Wop/Rock & Roll Songs with an authentic '50s sound, style, and vibe. Sentimental choruses, doo-wop style harmonies, swingin' rhythms, feel-good motifs, and expressive, well-performed lead vocals are all needed. Your songs should evoke a nostalgic, heart-on-your-sleeve vibe, with catchy melodies that flow seamlessly over rich, vocal-driven arrangements. Authentic-sounding instrumentation that stays in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Capturing the innocent, feel-good energy of the reference is key, and the instrumentation and production should feel timeless, warm, and effortlessly classic.
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity is ok here. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.
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.

Traditional Cuban instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will probably work best, such as brass, bass, congas, bongos, timbales, etc. Original Compositions only, please!
Please make sure your tracks were actually recorded before 1990 (give or take a couple of years), otherwise this company cannot use them!

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipDREAMY, '50s-Style JAZZ BALLADS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $2,000, Direct-to-Film Producer placement in an upcoming Independent Feature Film that's currently in post-production!
Note: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits.
This Film's Producer is on the hunt for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Dream A Little Dream of Me" by Doris Day, which is currently temped in:
"Dream A Little Dream of Me" by Doris Day
They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "Songs should match the reference material in tone, tempo, and instrumentation. Vocals can be either male or female. The themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."
IMPORTANT: While this Company would love to find material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in or around the 1950s, they are open to recordings from any era, as long as they capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to be virtually indistinguishable from authentic, vintage recordings!
Please submit well-crafted Jazz Ballads with sentimental and tender lyrical themes and an authentic '50s sound, style, and vibe. Dreamy choruses, down-tempo rhythms, nostalgic motifs, and smooth, well-performed vocals are all needed. Your tracks should have an easy-to-listen-to sound and a gentle, wistful tone that feels familiar and intimate. Jazz instrumentation that was popular in the '50s will most likely work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Capturing the timeless, dreamy energy of the reference (without copying it!) through era-appropriate sounds and vocal deliveries is key!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity won't eliminate your submission from consideration, but given the genre, era, and lyrical themes needed, we generally recommend avoiding its use. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

TAXI Tip: If you nail this pitch and land in this company's catalog, you might not have a lot of competition when supervisors and editors are searching for this genre. This is a great chance to be a standout in a potentially under-populated genre. Zig when everybody else zags. ;-)

"Brurmarsj Frå Lom" by Jon Faukstad
"Tiundaland: In Memory of Byss-Calle" by Lyremadr

Please submit a wide range of original Instrumentals and/or Cues with an authentic and traditional Nordic/Scandinavian sound and vibe! This Company is looking for pieces that evoke the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape, with ancient melodies that transport the listener to misty fjords, towering pine forests, and windswept mountains. Your submissions should have culturally rich motifs, engaging rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest. Due to the wide-ranging nature of the request, instrumentation may vary, but please aim to keep it generally aligned with traditional Nordic/Scandinavian music. (Hardanger Fiddle, Nyckelharpa, Lur, Willow Flute, Sami Drum, Kantele, Langspil, etc) Original compositions only, please!
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions must sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that's a plus! If you have a catalog of Vintage recordings in this style, they'd love to hear those, as well!
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request. Do NOT copy the referenced examples 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 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has a strong preference for signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard music library deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs.
