Below, you will find instrumental pieces created by John Savage.
You are free to use them at no cost as backgrounds or sound tracks for YouTube videos, short films, business presentations - almost anything, really. The use can be personal or commercial. John Savage maintains the copyright on these pieces but hereby gives permission to use them for free (no upfront fee or future royalty) as long as they are not sold as music alone or in any kind of audio collection. The pieces can be trimmed down to any length or turned into loops. However, they are not to be used as the basis for more music layered on top. In other words, you can change the length but that's all. You don't have to give credit in your project but please don't credit them to someone else. Of course it would be nice to get a mention like: "name of piece or music provided by John Savage at Wonderhouse.ca". So, if you agree to the above, go ahead and download whatever music you think you can use. No other licence or permission is required.

  

 

Since this music crosses many boundaries, I thought it would be best just to categorize them into different tempos. Hover the mouse over a title to get more information on each piece (allow blocked content in your browser for this feature). Click on a title to listen to or download the full mp3. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may have to check "Allow active content to run in files on my computer" (tools/internet options/advanced/security) to be able to hear or download the mp3s.
