Permissions for Music by Adrian Von Ziegler

Taken from the Linked Comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxAfkqrdmC4&lc=z12dwv4o3ra2wfdrn04ccjmawo2sw5mpx1w

USAGE:

If your
project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is
non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my
music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition.
Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc.
written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other
projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would
suffice as well. =)

On
YouTube and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your
videos by the way!

ANY
school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license
payment is required.





If the
project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except YouTube and
twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to
use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big
budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music
you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the
music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed.

Giving
credits is also necessary in commercial projects.



Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new
piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100%
non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song
(me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and
labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case
of confusion).



So if
your project is non-commercial or a YouTube project, just give credits and
there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If
it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch
and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal.





REQUESTED
MUSIC:

I
generally do not accept offers to make songs on request or to write music for
movies, games etc. One reason is that I can't handle it time-wise but even if I
had the necessary time I would still stay away from it because I - quite
honestly - don't really like to do it.^^ I basically make music to express
whatever topic moves me, randomly. I tried it a few times but I have the best
creativity and feel the most freedom and happiness when I do that completely
alone and without being “employed” by someone. I hope that’s understandable.^^





Important:

I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things.
