Free Music For Your Videos

There are a lot of resources out there on the internet. I just need to have my own overview where I can supply with my own notes. I really like the creative commons idea, where you attribute the author.

http://creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos

Check out archive.org too.

I used this resource to find music for my recent video: http://incompetech.com/music/ (they use creative commons licenses and you can buy the uncompressed music if you need to). Even more specific link: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html

Here are some links I received from my brother:

  • https://musopen.org/ (classical Creative Commons) - Example: https://musopen.org/music/1877/edvard-grieg/peer-gynt-suite-no-1-op-46/
  • http://www.bensound.com/ (Creative Commons)
  • https://soundcloud.com/aerocity/sets/aerocity-escapism-ep (Creative Commons)
  • http://www.scottbuckley.com.au/library/
  • https://machinimasound.com/music/
  • https://www.freesound.org/ - good for sound like "a door closing", "walking steps", "a child crying", and many others.
  • http://freemusicarchive.org/
  • For dreamy video: https://soundcloud.com/vbnd
  • Nice YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/NoCopyrightSounds (Alan Walker - Fade [NCS Release]  - over 64 million views)
    • Another YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC56Qctnsu8wAyvzf4Yx6LIw
  • Nice piaon ask for permission to use Please ! Stop the Killing On Our Earth !  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdegHDXwAbc.

And just something I stumbled upon: http://dig.ccmixter.org/

Here is some I found nice to listen too. It can take long time to find good music that is free under a creative commons license or similar.

Extra usefull tags and groups: https://soundcloud.com/tags/free-music | https://soundcloud.com/tags/free%20download | https://soundcloud.com/groups/legal-free-music-downloads

Always check the license on the music as they might change over time.
