hi! can i use Background Music 12: Dreams? for my timelapse background music. Of course I’ll put the credits :D
That should be fine. The music is free to use for non-commercial purposes. The music should go well with time-lapse. Maybe you can send me a link when you are done so I can check out your work.
Hey man. I really like all the music. I am a photographer and videast from Mozambique in Southern Africa at the moment working making some video art… Please give me your full name for credits. Best

Hi, you can just use ‘music longzijun’. My full name is Stephen Richards, but if people are looking for my online work it is so much easier to find me using ‘longzijun’. I would be interested in seeing your art, so if possible, send me a link if you post the video.

Hello! I’m an amateur filmmaker and I would like to thank you for letting everyone use your music! It really saves me alot of time and gives me more ideas for future films! Thanks again!
Wow I am impressed :-)
Do you mind when I use a few Soundtracks for a Game I am Programming?
Is it just something you are working on for interest or a game you are developing to sell?
No it is just for fun not more than a Minni Game.
