I’ve just released a new low-cost downloadable royalty-free collection of music aimed at film and documentary makers. Royalty-Free Film & Documentary Music Vol. 1: Piano & Atmospheric Beds is a collection of specially composed dark piano and atmospheric ambient soundscapes ideal for film and documentary visuals that need a suitably dark and atmospheric musical background. The album is 45 minutes long and can be bought from my download shop: Royalty-Free Film & Documentary Music Vol. 1: Piano & Atmospheres Purchase of the mp3 album download grants the user a license to use the music in any film, documentary or other visual project without the need for any further payment. So once you’ve bought this, you can use it in as many of your film and documentary projects as you like, whether it’s for festivals, trailers, or broadcast. The idea was to provide film and documentary makers with music that hopefully has more of an atmospheric or cinematic feel to it than stock library music but to keep it good quality at a reasonable price. Listen to a preview of some of the tracks below:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

I expect there’ll be more volumes to come in future. I’ve got some ideas for themes but I’ll wait and see what I can fit in around other projects.

Writer Harlan Ellison draws some parallels about (not) working for free that many media composers will be familiar with.
