Hey everyone! It's One Man Symphony welcoming you! Here, you'll find more details about my project, "Free Music Libraries For Indie Artists," including FAQs about the albums and ways you can support the endeavor.

1. So, what's this project all about and how can you lend a hand?

As an indie developer myself, I've noticed a real shortage of complete music packs for fellow indies who might not have the budget for art, especially when it comes to sound in their projects. I've seen this as a real roadblock in some cases, causing indie developers to hit pause or sometimes sadly even stop altogether – especially given how crucial sound can be in gaming. I've been reached out to and asked many times, if one could use my songs in their project, so they could stream their prototype and can gather feedback, but they can't just throw in any copyrighted music there.

To cut to the chase, I decided to put together a bunch of free albums covering different themes and genres, all released under a Creative Commons license so folks can use them however they like, even in commercial projects, as long as they give me a shout-out. But here's the thing: making this content takes up a ton of time, and since I'm already working full-time, I can't pour as much time into this project as I'd like, which slows down production. You know how it is – the longer something drags on, the more frustrated you get, and I really don't want that to happen here. On top of all that, I want to invest in some gear like microphones to jazz up the library with sound effects and soundscapes, but I can't do it alone financially. That's why I've set up a Patreon page. By supporting the project there, you'll help it grow bigger and better every month. Plus, you'll get exclusive updates on how the next album is coming along, as well as access to bonus and extended versions of songs, loop files, UE5 materials, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

2. Where Else Can You Download My Free Albums, Beside Itch?

You can download the same albums on my Bandcamp page as well, in various (MP3, FLAC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, ALAC, WAV, AIFF) formats.

3. How can I filter out the albums?

By using this Google album filtering sheet. (At the moment not up to date. I am working on a dedicated web page that's a lot easier to filter & use. Stay tuned!)

4. Where is the FAQ list?

The FAQ list exceeds the character limitation that Itch has on profile pages, so I created an individual page for it. You can find it here.

You can use the contact One Man Symphony form on my Bandcamp page for any of your questions and commissions.
