JAKE OTATTI COMPOSER and AGENCY PRODUCER CATALOGUE CRITIQUES

Wendell and agency producer Bob S. have critiqued your music catalogue Jake! Here's what they wrote for each of your tracks. They have never been this complimentary of a composer's catalogue since the inception of the 30-30.


UP UP 30-30 RATING 29

*Very interesting textures. I like the unexpected nature of this track.
*There is nothing predictable about it. Very cool mix of sounds. Nice tempo.
*This style would be classified as quirky because it doesn't quite fall into a henre and the combination of sounds is odd, humorous, and cool all in one.
*Very sellable provided the right opportunity arrives.
*Buyers will gravitate to this track because it is very different.
*You should create a 30 second piece and a 60 second piece for the purpose of commercial use and cut the best sections together.
*I can tell this is you at your finest. You seem very free and uninhibited with your sound selection and arrangement.

SWITCH CALIBER 30-30 RATING 29

*I remember the 30 30 playing this for me on a car presentation a while back.
* I liked it then and I like it now. Great sonic textures. Very convincing authentic sounds.
*Nice bell breakdown
*If this spot were in 60 second form I would introduce the bell midway through and then go back to the strong orchestration that begins the spot.
*Very sellable track.

ANTS 30-30 RATING 30

*Very strong instrumentation; great musicianship
*Love the sounds and the mix; very visual
*The drive and motivation in your music is very confident and focused.
*This track is very sellable!


CREATE 30-30 RATING 26

*Nice setup musically. I like the breaks and start/stop sounds in this track
*Track is mixed well and takes a stand. I like the fact that this track has a definite motivation as if it is meant to be something or represent something.
*I think to reach its potential, it should have a couple other sections in this track that kick it up a notch
* If you bring a new break beat in right after the break, your track will go to the next level and you will have the proper rise and dynamic in your track. It's almost there, we just want more.


SAHWIING 30-30 RATING 30

*Nice approach to the swing era
*Love the 2009 textures you brought to the table on this track and they way you switch up the tempo in the middle.
*There are a lot of nice sections in this track; wee like the versatility that it has.
*Track is well mixed, but be careful of the overly synthesized sounding solo piano at the 2 minute mark. Once the other instruments gather around it, it sounds cool.
*Very sellable track. The type of track that can take the spot to the next level. Usually the type of track that is better than the picture.


GIN AND PHONIC 30-30 RATING 30

*Cool textures Jake
* I am very impressed with your command over your sounds; very parts Nice integration of sounds;
*very good movement;
*love the trance nature of this track as it almost hypnotizes you.
*Great pulse
*With the right picture, this track is very sellable.
*I'm giving you a 30 because it is different and well done! Nothing conventional.

BOOMBOP 30-30 RATING 29

*Nice start; I nthink you could use a better sounding uprightbass for this track but once the other sounds come in it's irrelevant.
*Love the percussion that comes in at 41 seconds. The mix also makes these sounds stanf out.
*Nice piano intro that sets everything up. SOlo bass needs to be more authentic to keep pace with the rest of the track.
*Great rhythms and again your mixes go a long way toward listeners liking what you create.
*Nice ending; very well produced. Nice job! Very sellable


OH YEAH 30-30 RATING 28

*I like your ART OF NOISE approach; do you remember that group?
*Interesting use of sounds; your non-traditional approach is really extraordinary.
*Very good use of instruments as sound effects.
*I like the difference in volume in the middle and the pulse shift
*With the right project, this track has all the fundamentals to be sellable.
*This track sounds like it would be for a very specific picture; but that keeps your music special and not generic.

HAPPY 30-30 RATING 30

*Very well produced! You have found a niche sound that is quirky and vibey.
*It may not be sellable on many levels, but with the right picture, this makes a good picture great.
*Very visual and I love the stereo mix of your track
*Once again, nothing is predictable. Great blend of sound, instrumentation, and texture
*Once again, this seems like true Jake here. I can tell you were in your zone on this track and that is what makes your music so convincing. It sounds like you are 100 percent in it to win it.
*Nice tempo shifts!

SHMINTZY 30-30 RATING 25

*Nice mix;
*sounds seem a little dated in places
*Track seems to stop out of no where without really taking us anywhere
*Maybe you could create another section that elevates the track
*The track gets us started but stops without telling us why we were even listening to it
* Very well spread out sounds in this, but I feel like I want more to happen in this track.
*It's all set up and no pay off.
*Create a payoff that isn't bland and take this track to the next level with bigger badder drums and edgy chord 4 chord turnaround progressions.
*Don't be afraid to take it there JAKE!
