if first you don't succeed...

The producers came back with a response this morning. One of them liked it. The other one didn't. Said it sounded too much like "Mozart", "too British". Said it "sounded like British money, not American money". OK, that's cool... so, 4 hours later, and I've submitted two more sketches. One is American money portrayed as bold, dynamic, orchestral, and sounding an awful lot like the soundtrack to "Independence Day" (which was written by a Brit, but don't tell them that!). The other is American money portrayed as sounding high-class and stylish, and a whole lot like the big band sax soli I wrote last week (if they like that approach, I'll rip myself off).

Waiting to- HOLD IT, phone ringing...

(seriously -- the phone rang while I was writing this!)

OK, just got off the phone. He likes the orchestral approach. So if you'll excuse me, I have to schedule musicians for a recording session and finish writing this music before tomorrow morning -- that is, if I want to make this deadline and be at the Midwest Convention.
