I originally made this website in 2016 to give out my instrumental songs for free under Creative Commons. In June 2018, however, I saw unexpected visitors coming in from Google to an accidentally-published article here and thought maybe I should start adding other contents.
I am still in the process of brainstorming for more content ideas. I will update this page soon enough!
I started making music around 10 years ago, and still love making them. However, it’s not what I want to do as a career (I’m in software). Music is not my life – it’s just a therapeutic hobby, an outlet if you will.
Seeing people enjoy my music feels very rewarding. There were people who used my songs at their wedding/events/videos/etc and I realized that that’s what made me happy, not a bunch of $0.99 iTunes transactions. Of course I’d like to see the hobby pay for itself, but trying to force that would just suck out the joy.
I hope these songs would be useful for your projects. Do send me links if you use them, I’d like to feature some here.
The songs are under Creative Commons CC-BY so you can use them for free legally in your games, films, videos, apps, events, podcasts, etc – just give credits.
Simply put something like…
Song: Mattesar – [song title][series] and link to mattesar.com
However, if you can’t display credits then I don’t mind – it’s technically illegal but ehh it’s not like I’m gonna come after you or something, that’s a waste of energy, time and money on my part. However, it’d be easier for you to display credits, because people will ask for the song titles anyway.
