PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Yesterday, I made a bunch of new music in the style of late 70s / early 80s bad sci-fi.
Rather than posting it all here, I decided to release that music into the Public Domain.
Exciting, huh?
—
Public Domain confuses people. Especially on a site known for Royalty-free music. So I opened up a new site that has only Public Domain music on it.
Please Be Nice to the new site; Do not download the entire catalog today.
If the site is offline when you read this – Someone tried to download too much at once, and it was shut down.
Sorry.
There are about 400 pieces of music up there. Many of them are very similar to each other. You don’t need them all right now.
If you would like them all – email me, and I’ll get you on a list and send you a giant zip file sometime within a week or whenever I can get my act together. (it is like 2.6 gig – so also email me if you know how to move a file that big to a bunch of people)

The Cannery
Aggressive, humorous, bright, and intense. Yeah, there is only one piece of music like this on my site… I’m pretty sure.
The Cannery
Alive!
Thanks to Matt Riley for finding this…
In the “documentary”, Alive! Is Michael Jackson Really Dead?, they used at least one of my pieces of music (Zombie Hoodoo).
You can watch it on Netflix, though I don’t recommend watching anything that starts with credits in Comic Sans… with a typewriter sound in the background.
Not sure what these are
These are both synth-heavy pieces…
Wallpaper is round and bouncy.
Cipher is lush and catchy.
The mix has some headroom in it – I recommend you turn it up to get hit in the chest with the kick drum. I might release a compressed version for people with sub-optimal speakers.
This was mixed for something like a flat full-range system. In reality, the best experience is in my studio in Brooklyn. So… let me know if you want to stop by to listen to it.
Other Music!
Yeah, I can’t do everything. I do have a new sponsor who does quite a bit more. Bonus points for human readable licenses. If you’ve looked at sites that advertise “300,000 Tracks!” or whatnot, you’re probably aware – that’s not the best plan if you’re just trying to get your production done. Shockwave-Sound doesn’t do that (thank the gods). They have a reasonable amount of findable music.
I am not an affiliate for them – buy or do not, I don’t really care. But do go take a look. I’m here to help everyone!
They work with a smaller number of talented composers and release a few new hand-picked tracks each week, rather than allowing anyone to upload anything like many other sites do.
