Three different people during our Accelerator coaching call mentioned hitting the same wall and made the same call: F*** it - ship it anyway. pitch email went out before it felt fully ready. A song got called finished at 90%, not 100%. A high-volume production plan got locked in instead of endlessly refined. Same lesson, three different ways. What's the thing sitting at "almost done" on your hard drive that you're finishing, not perfecting, this week?

Hey guys, I thought I would share the 1st track of a project that I will be working on in a couple of weeks time. It will be my first attempt at singer/songwriter songs for sync licensing. What are your thoughts on this song in terms of sync licensing. Any feedback is appreciated….. https://s.disco.ac/uqwghhyytflj Many thanks

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.

Drop your vote and tell us what's driving that focus this week. Bonus points if you share the one thing standing in your way.
