• MusicLM: Generating Music from Text

  Https://github.com/ad-si/awesome-sheet-music FWIU, Current LLMs can't yet do explainable AI well enough to satisfy the optional Attribution clause of e.g. Creative Commons licenses? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Is Bach’s music free to use?

  Use https://musopen.org for royalty free recordings of classical music including lots of Bach. Source: over 1 year ago

• I'm compiling creative commons music from all the classical composers I know, starting with Johann Pachelbel.

  What a wonderful idea! I guess you must know about Musopen and their CC0 collection of classical recordings on the Internet Archive? Source: over 1 year ago

• Hi Reddit! My name is Piotr Rochala and I recently released a game on Nintendo Switch I developed solo with my 3 kids. It's called Amazing Chicken Adventures - it's a 3D arcade egg-rolling puzzle platformer! AMA!

  I used FL Studio (Fruity Loops) for all sound engineering. It's a very powerful tool but comes with its own steep learning curve. All music comes from musopen.org - a charity with a mission to set classical music free of copyright. Source: over 1 year ago

• Brutally hard, indie 3D egg-rolling puzzle platformer called Amazing Chicken Adventures is coming to Nintendo Switch this Halloween

  I am solo indie dev. I did all 3D art, animation, programming and publishing. I am not a composer, so I decided to feature Public Domain classical music in my game, sourced from musopen.org - a charity with a mission to set classical music free of all copyright for all humanity to enjoy.

• Ask HN: Where can I find public domain score sheets for free?

  Check license on individual pieces... https://www.mutopiaproject.org/ says "all in the Public Domain or under Creative Commons licenses" https://musopen.org/ says "free, without copyright restrictions". - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Does anyone know Classical or Baroque that isnt auto-muted on vod?

  A quick google search for 'classical music public domain' turns up https://musopen.org/ pretty quick. They include PD recordings which you can use freely on your stream. If they get auto-muted you can submit a contestment for bad-audio-fingerprint (the listed audio is not present in this stream) with a link to the PD recording information. The contestment SHOULD cause AudibleMagic to review the fingerprint and... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a composer!!

  Seeing as your music "department" has a very low budget, I think the best would be to use public domain recordings. In that case Musopen will be your friend. Source: about 2 years ago

• It might be common knowledge but...there are TONS of high quality Public Domain assets. Not necessarily opengameart. Free high quality photos/paintings, music, 3d objects. Sadly I see many projects which don't take advantage of this. :( I've added some links.

• Question about music in my game

  Just one minor point—musopen.org cannot put its recordings into the public domain. At best they can make them royalty-free, using creative commons licenses and the like. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Question about music in my game

  The recordings of classical music are what you need, and most of the recordings are still copyrighted. They are not in the public domain yet. You are mostly limited to finding recordings licensed under Creative Commons licenses, like https://musopen.org/, or looking for public domain recordings of e.g. Army bands.

• Learning chopin

  First of all, which one? All of chopin's works all tell a story. It's fully up to you to decide which piece tells which story. chopin's pieces are pretty hard to do, and there are some easier ones, like the prelude op 28, no 4, and the prelude op 28, no 7. The ballades, which are my personal favorite, take years on years of constant work and effort. But there are some easier pieces by chopin, and I suggest you try... Source: about 3 years ago
