Opps I didn’t see Michael had responded to this already.
Keep all emails you sent asking about the issue on file and gather all the evidence you can about them going out of business, ex. taking screen shots of their website or non existent website. Also read your agreement if there is any other company names associated with the agreement if so try contacting them. Keep all this on file. Also shot them an email saying that you will threat this agreement as nullified unless you get a response.
I’d say 90 days of trying to contact the company with no response should be sufficient time. Then treat the deal like nullified. On the off chance someone would sue you for it, you have reasonably evidence and cause for terminating the agreement. Plus a company who has gone out of business most likely wont spend a bunch of money on suing you for breach of agreement. Don’t fall into a trap where you create a bunch of problems and extremely unlikely scenarios which prevents you to further exploit your music. Also beware of lawyers who use scare tactics to get you to pay for their services. Suing someone is a huge undertaking that most will wanna avoid unless there is a big pay off and those Pawnestar/Kardashian placements aren’t going to be worth it.And the award for the most retitled cue goes to……..

Just kidding (kinda) 🙂
At least it wasen’t a fadeout ending on thrack ha ha
Actually the guitar solo thing could be that its the out tune bennding that’s the problem and not the Key/Scale
Is this a joke? It’s horribly out of time like a drunken jam with unprofessional musicians. Sorry if this sound harsh but all libraries I know off would be on the floor laughing if u sent them this. Actually it work perfectly if it was meant for a comedic scene! But seriously before u worry about the style you need to learn the fundamentals, make it very simple and make sure it’s 100% in time to start with. Specifically to your track, perhaps start with making the drum beat 100% in time with it self (ex the opeing drum fill sounds very out of time), then make the bass play whole notes or half-notes instead of the out of time syncopated figure and make sure to hit the downbeats at the same time as the drums. ALso sounds like the guitar solo is in the wrong key/scale. I guess this style would be a bit comparable to Primus, listen to their albums, it needs to be as tight as that. Good Luck and also I 2nd what Rob said about the business.
ALso BTW library music are usally instrumental so always make sure to make instrumental mixes too. The music made me feel very zen but vocals need a bit more work.
I’de tune the vocals and edit the timing of them as they or out of time at several spots. Possibly make them more electronic sounding with a vocoder or something. The instrumental track sounds nice but I’m right now listening though laptop speakers so can’t really comment on the mix.
BTW here is a company that provides “pro” feedback on music. http://www.audiokite.com
CHeers!Just on a side note, If someone would create a little booklet guide, database or something like that with information regarding back end royalties for various networks I would pay $29.95 for that 🙂 Someone with a large history of statements such as a publisher or veteran composers could probably easily create this by using the CSV versions of their statements, importing them into MS Excel and using some formulas and sorting round, figure out appx. per minute rate for different networks, maybe even including exsamples of per minute rates for diffrent times of the day and other variables. Could even include useages such as themes on varouis cables networks etc.
So there you have it, a free business idea plus your first customer, now go do it! 🙂 It could even be for an addition to a book. Acutally if anyone does this they should proabaly give me a free copy 🙂
