Already told my accelerator cohort, but today I closed a contract to put some of my music in a sync/advertising library in England! There is no question that this wouldn't have happened without having been in this accelerator - Glenn's help, plus the guidance and encouragement of my peers, is simply priceless. This is THE PLACE. With more luck I will be able to add some future tracks to this library and hopefully get placements on UK Film, TV or advertising. Yay!!😅

This session provides practical strategies for getting your music placed in film, TV, advertising, and other media. Learn how to navigate the sync licensing process, understand what music supervisors are looking for, and explore best practices for presenting and positioning work for opportunities.

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.
