Paradise Found
This piece of music never stops smiling. It is a happy, dancy, and never over-the-top party opener! The bass will move people. I found the “Tropical House” genre on some AI music site, and put this together. Overall, I’m a fan!

Beware Copyright Trolls
“Copyright Troll” was generated by Midjourney… thereby violating copyrights? Or something? idk
From time to time, copyright claims are made on my music. Sometimes they’re copyright trolls. Sometimes they’re well-intentioned people who don’t read the fine print and create chaos. It’s like playing whack-a-mole….
Please contest any content ID claims you may get with courage! To my knowledge, no copyright strikes are in effect for anything I’ve written. Be prepared to send a lot of strongly worded emails and do a lot of sleuthing to find out the real source of the trouble. If you need help on this quest, let me know!
How to Post Your Music to the Public Domain – for free
I’ve been getting quite a few emails from people asking me how they can get their music published without having to spend money on bandwidth and servers. Most publishing sites are set up to make money from artists, and some can be quite expensive – which is stupid if you’re just trying to give away your music for free.
I put together a quick-to-read document on how to publish new music into the Public Domain using only free services. Spoiler Alert: It is mostly Pixabay.
I want to thank all the composers out there who want to share their music and help build a dynamic and modern Public Domain of creations that will accelerate all of art!
Music Catalog Available for any AI Training Project
Attention AI Researchers and really, just anyone who trains these things:
I really like what you folks are doing, but there are complaints rumbling over at the Music Publisher’s Association that training on their property would mean infringing the United States Copyright Act’s reproduction right.
In contrast, my music would love to live in your training set!
The dataset is 4 days of music, about 1800 files, and includes some metadata.
Email me at kevin@incompetech.com, and I’ll send the download links.
