Why I Do This



It jus't isn't the case that every film has a high budget. As frustrating as it is, as a composer there is often not a lot I can do in that case. Recording music not only takes a lot of time and effort. It costs money. Strings for instruments, repairs, recording equipment, computers and electricity aren't free. In this way, I still have a way to offer you good quality music when a custom score just doesn't make financial sense yet.

I've also had a lot of requests for scary instrumental music and creepy ambient music in projects that simply don't intend to make any money. School projects, local radio shows, book trailers, Creepypasta narrations, DnD recordings and the like. This has also inspired me to make this page for free creepy music downloads.

Finally some people have used it in initial versions of their project. Using these tracks can give you a sense of how my music will sound in your film or game. This way you'll know whether my music is the right fit for your project before we start working together.
