Latest update: Q2 2023 (v2)
I'M MAKING A GAME AND NEED MUSIC...
I'm not taking game commissions at this time. The only exceptions would be Hitman IV, or a Lovecraftian turn-based strategy, or the new Broken Sword. If you are making one of these games you should contact me immediately!
I'M MAKING A FILM AND NEED MUSIC...
Awesome! Drop me a line with some info about the project and let's figure it out!
I'M MAKING A SCHOOL PROJECT, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC?
Yes, but please contact me to work out some details.
I'M STREAMING ON TWITCH, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC?
You can as long as you are streaming content related to the music (eg. the game it comes from). You can also use it occasionally as background music as long as there is visible on-screen credit. You cannot use it as a fixture of your channel (eg. as intro/outro of your show or segments of it).
I'M MAKING A YOUTUBE VIDEO, CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC IN IT?
If it is a cover/remix/live performance: YES—but you cannot monetize it!
If it is a reaction to/critique of the music: YES
If it is a review/let's play of a game the music comes from: YES
If it is a video essay with the music in the background that includes additional audio commentary: YES
You can monetize all cases expect the first one (cover/remix/live)
--
If it is a re-upload of the music: NO
If it is a re-upload of the music on a channel that is dedicated to VGM: NO
If it is a "ten-hour loop", "song X extended", "song X but only the good parts", "song X but only the good parts, extended" etc: NO
If it is a re-upload of the music for my DND campaign: NO—use my uploads.
If it is a re-upload of the music for my DND campaign and the video is unlisted: NO—use my uploads.
If it's you playing a game, drawing, or performing any other task, and the only audio is the music: NO
If it's the music but, like, slowed down: NO
If it's the music but, like, with weird filters and shit: NO
If it is a "funny" mashup: NO
If it's a really cool short: NO
If it's a hilarious meme: NO
If it's...: NO
NO.
NO, NO, NO. NO.
Please keep in mind that in all the above cases I will be notified by YouTube and I will take your video down without warning.
