Free Production Music for Videos and Websites


Lorraine Grula’s Video Production Tips Site

Hi, I was recently introduced to the site videoproductiontips.com which is a massive library of tips for helping people create videos.

The site includes information on editing, audio, lighting, video conversion and storytelling. Plus you can find reviews of the latest camcorders and other equipment. There is even a section about marketing your business with video.

I found out about the site because the Webmaster Lorraine Grula created a really professional “how to” video about DanoSongs for her visitors (see here). I signed up for her tips and found them very useful so far, since I am producing a new video myself : )

This is a new track called “Rehab Sunglasses” in the crunk style made popular by Lil Jon. Crunk is mainly known for super heavy base lines over electronic beats.

This track also has a rave techo and dubstep flavor that is a bit different than traditional Crunk. Its a full length instrumental piece you could use for a complete song.

Hi, here is a new complete instrumental electronica song called “Permafrost”. This is the 4th track in a series I am producing for a new vocal album which I am excited about.

The other tracks for the CD so far are “Junk Ship Gold”, “Inkarnation” and “Heart Quake”. It will be an electronica pop album with songs similar to my vocal track “Silk”. After I record all 10 instrumentals I will write lyrics and record singing. You can check them all out here.

“Dramatic discoveries … about recent gullies, near-surface permafrost and ancient surface water have given us a new Mars in the past few years.”
~ Michael Meyer

This song starts out with a verse of very spacious electric piano and then electronic drums kick in with a steady solid beat. The chorus lightens up and is kind of bouncy. After that there is a bridge that has a middle-eastern style riff to change things up. The songs ends out with a synth melody on top of acoustic piano.

You can use this track royalty free in commercial projects if you credit me. If you can’t credit me just donate $10. Check the FAQ for complete information.

Origo Vitae: “Mysterious” Classical Stock Audio Sounds Like Old Star Trek Music?

English: A stylized delta shield, based on the...

Image via Wikipedia

This is a new classical piece I had fun putting together for the soundtrack of my upcoming short scifi film Zedic and the Crimson Born. I call it “Origo Vitae” and it kind of reminds me of the type of mysterious creepy music you might hear in the old Star Trek series.

It begins with an ethereal drone, followed by a bit of winds and horns. Then a full string section section kicks in with triangle and timpani. There is a an interlude of wispy flute in the midsection and outro.

Of course this track is creative commons licensed and you can use it in your own film, YouTube video or game.

New Stock Music for Free: Orb of Envisage

Here is some new stock music you can download for free called “Orb of Envisage”. The verse starts out with melancholy acoustic guitar and classical type strings. Then the chorus kicks in with an uplifting positive feeling. The bridge has dramatic cello, viola and violin. Also, if you listen closely you can hear several ambient tracks in the background.

This track seems fitting as a film soundtrack or for a tv commercial that needs audio that feels transforming. It will also work as a song background since it sticks to the traditional pop form of A B A B C A B.

Didgeridoo Music for YouTube Videos, Films, Podcasts and Games: Allambee’s Song

Much to my initial surprise, DanoSongs gets visitors from all over the world. Folks from Australia are big users of the music for instance and I get allot of requests from them. In particular, for indigenous aboriginal Didgeridoo royalty free music.

I am also currently editing and scoring my short scfi film “Zedic and the Crimson Born” (see trailer) which was written by an Australian, Karen Buckton. So I thought that I can use a Didgeridoo track for the soundtrack, and also provide a new original instrumental song for people to use on YouTube, podcasts, games and other projects.

I call it Allambee Divides the Timor Sea (Allambee’s Song). Thanks to the magic of legal sampling and some amazing software – I was able to compose, arrange and mix this piece using authentic Didgeridoo sounds. Also, since I can’t settle for anything that doesn’t add something new, there is a mix of other instruments from all over the world.

Other instruments in the mix: Frame Drum, Riq (Arabic), Crash Box (similar to the African Balaphone), Dumbek or “Goblet Drum” (Middle East, North Africa), Berimbau (Brazil), Caxixi (West Africa), Dejembe (African), Sitar (India of course).

To download the MP3 right click on the link, choose ‘Save Target As…’  If you have trouble downloading you can read How to Download a File. If you have questions about how to use this track as free background music please read the License FAQ. To listen to the track before downloading just click the play button.

New Upbeat Quirky Pulsing Royalty Free Mp3 Called “Heart Quake”

More of my artwork at DanoImages.com

Hi, this is another series of ten pop electronic songs that  I am going to make a vocal album out of over the next year. For now I’m posting the instrumental for folks to use.

This track, called “Heart Quake” has some 80s sounding synthesizer in the verse and a driving rhythm rock guitar riff in the chorus. I was inspired by Eminem’s “Lose yourself” for the guitar part. That is one of my favorite songs.

There is a very fat pulsing bass line through the whole tune, that really gets going in the bridge with some crazy rock guitar feedback. Listen for the phaser and delay on the guitar.

You’ll also hear some hip hop turntable and gritty grime beats thrown in to mix things up. Since I composed this as a song background it has a pop structure of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, verse chorus.

To download the MP3 right click on the link, choose ‘Save Target As…’  If you have trouble downloading you can read How to Download a File. If you have questions about how to use this track as free background music please read the License FAQ. To listen to the track before downloading just click the play button.
