About &#038; License
Hi everyone,
I’m a big believer in the democratization of motion pictures, television, music, games and pretty much all media. Anyone should be able to tell stories, explore ideas and communicate through these media without needing millions of dollars to do so. Thanks to digital technology, this is now more possible than ever.
Unfortunately, the cost of obtaining quality music for projects is still often prohibitively expensive… especially for individuals, students, teachers and media artists.
This site is my attempt to try to help remedy this.
One of the challenges of using preexisting music in films and videos is that the music often doesn&#8217;t time out right or &#8220;fit&#8221; with the movie that&#8217;s already been edited. With this in mind, I&#8217;ve tried to create pieces that are a little less &#8220;on the nose&#8221;&#8230;pieces that convey moods and emotions in a more general way such that they might fit into your project a little bit easier.
If you hear a piece that you&#8217;d like customized, or if you would like me to create a custom piece for your project, feel free to contact me at ematyas@aol.com.
I hope you find something you can use.
EM
P.S. A big thank you to Kevin MacLeod for encouraging me to give this a try.
