This music is completely free! However, if you are willing to donate, my paypal address is rfgb@hotmail.ca. Even amounts as small as a dollar are big helps everyone, so thank you!

Well then. Short version. Not dead.

Long version: In September I decided to apply to the University of Manitoba (my home province) for Music Composition. That’s a pretty ridiculous decision to make considering this requires a music theory test and an audition on an instrument (I had no formal training in either). However, I was encouraged by my family (and perhaps by my own unwillingness to admit when I can’t do something), so I took my first lesson in September. Additionally, I wrote 4 new tracks to use in a composition portfolio, all of which will now be uploaded, starting with this one. I auditioned in on the 17th of February and got a phone call of acceptance from the professor 2 weeks later. This is very exciting news for me, however the intense nature of the preparations have caused the channel to fall by the wayside. Now that this is all over, I will be uploading as frequently as I used to! :)

IF YOU EVER RECEIVE A CLAIM FOR USING MY FREE MUSIC, DISPUTE IT AND INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY.

This track is licensed under a ‘Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License’. You can find the link to that license here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Basically, you can use this music for absolutely anything, including commercial/monetized projects. No need to get permission. There are only 3 rules:

1) Credit me! In most cases this means posting a link to my channel or the video of the track you used. This takes about 10 seconds to do, while the track you’re using probably took me hours and hours (and hours). Doing this helps me keep the music free :)

2) You may NOT use my music in an audio track that you intend to put into the Content ID system. This will result in false claims given to people who use my music in their videos. These situations are illegal and have resulted in people being banned from networks etc. DON’T DO IT.

3) Subscribe to me! Okay, this one isn’t really mandatory haha. But it takes a lot of work to make this music, and there is no better way to repay me than to join this community! I'm constantly putting out more free music (and it's constantly getting better).

The artwork is 'Waterloo Bridge: the Sun in a Fog, 1903' by Claude Monet. I've decided rather than using flashy movie wallpapers and the likes, I would use my channel to promote art that I sincerely admire (not that Monet needs my promotion aha).

FAQ

Q: Can I use this for my project? Should I credit you? How? A: Yup and yeah. See the above information.

Q: Can I donate? A: Why yes you can, kind dude. PayPal e-mail is rfgb@hotmail.ca (in all seriousness this is hugely appreciated).

Q: Will you score my project? A: I am always looking for new scoring opportunities, but as I only have the time to do a few per year, they have to be large scale projects that will push my career forward as a composer. Things like YouTube gaming montages or vlogs are things I am almost never able to do, sorry.

Q: What programs do you use? A: I used FL Studio and the plug-in Zebra 2 for this track.

Q: How do you do that light bar thingy? A: It’s usually called an Audio Spectrum and I make it using After Effects. I typically start with this template (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Fz2ylTFTM) but it can be done from scratch.
