Work-related FAQ

I'm making a game/film/thing and need music...
Awesome! Please contact me to send me details about you project and we'll take it from there!

​How long does it take you to produce a full-length OST?
It really depends. I've written stuff over 3 months and I've written stuff over 3 years.  If you need an hour of music within the next month I'll kindly suggest you look elsewhere.

​And how much will it cost me?
I can't answer that before I know a thing or two about the project. Send me some info and I'll give you an estimate.

I'm making a game/film/thing and I need music but I don't have any money...
Neither have I.
​
But we can share profit...
I'm happy to share some of your profits, I just won't write your music for free.

What if I paid you in goods and services?
Sure. I'll take a serving of money upon delivery.

Permissions FAQ

Can I upload your music/album on YouTube?
No. (I've already done it myself.) Unauthorized uploads will be taken down without warning.

​Can I stream your music in Twitch/YouTube?
You can, and you won't get a strike/DMCA if:

In any other situation (example, as random background music) I'd really rather you didn't.

No. The ONLY exceptions are the video being:

• A review of the music.
• A review of the media the music is from (game, film, etc).
• A Let's Play of the game the music is from​​.​

​Can I upload a remix/cover of your music?
Yes please! But do keep in mind:

• You cannot monetize or sell it under any circumstances—no exceptions!
• You must credit me as the original composer.
• Be creative! And drop me a link on twitter while you're at it ;)

Can I use your music in my game/demo/project?
No. I provide my music to my clients under an EXCLUSIVE license! Please hire a composer or get music from a music library.

Can I use your music in my...?
No. Generally, the answer is no. If you really, really want to, you can email me with the details and get a personalized no.

Fuck yeah!
