Royalty Free Instrumental Music for Videos and Multimedia
I’ve been uploading the instrumental tracks for tunes I’m working on for people looking for royalty free music to use in Powerpoint presentations, flash games, YouTube videos, on hold and movies. Students even use them in their films and recording classes to learn mixing. If you need songs for a podcast my downloads are also podsafe.
There are more clips you can use as background music and listen to on my home page. I create various electronic, techno, classical and hip hop styles by mixing beats, samples and sound effects. I also have relaxation music that can be used for hypnosis and meditation.
In the process I have been learning some things about what the options are for those looking for this kind of music. If you don’t know what royalty-free music is you can read this very good explanation. I decided to use the creative commons music license which allows free use as long as you provide a link or credit to DanoSongs.com. I still own the copyright, but you have my permission to use the songs.
Searching for Stock Music - The Best Cheap Library Websites
There are allot of new inexpensive options for what is called “stock” music on the web now. Here are a couple of interesting articles about istockphoto and estockmusic which offer tons of professional production audio for your personal and business projects.
There is also an explanation of the online sound library business in this article about AudioMicro that lists even more places to find low cost music for videos games, advertising or whatever. With any of these sites you can pay a one time buy out fee for unlimited use of the tracks.
Download My Acoustic Guitar and Piano Song
This download is an upbeat acoustic guitar pop rock tune of mine called “The Art of Gardens”. It has some cool piano and bongos with organ loops in the bridges. Of course look for lyrics and vocals for this recording in a future blog post and cds.

Book Trailer Acoustic Soundtrack Music Download
While I’m on the subject of acoustic guitar instrumentals I have to point out a story about Seeds of Change which is a social commentary novel that happens to have this free mp3 download as a promotional item for the book’s trailer. It’s a really cool, dark and driving track. I don’t know about the copyright for it though.
Peace,
Dan-O
