(in)Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it take to write a piece of music?
A: For a simple project where I know what sound to go for it can take as little as one hour per minute of finished music. More complex projects can take over an hour per instrument, including mixing.
Q: Can I use your music for <insert purpose here>
A: It depends what you want to use it for. Unless I've labelled something as free to use, ask me first. If you're just playing music in the background of, say, a twitch stream, then I will most likely allow it. The rights to any remixes I've done belong to the original song writers, and their licensing/royalty agreements apply.
Q: Not really a question, but something, something copyright free?
A: As Kevin MacLeod once responded on this subject; it is nearly impossible, in a legal sense, for music to be copyright free. What you're thinking of might be public domain, which usually means that the creator has been dead more than 75 years (this time frame changes every once in a while (which is why Sherlock Holmes is a public domain character, but not all books about him are public domain)).
You might also be thinking of royalty free, which means that the composer/song writer doesn't get paid for their music being used.
On a tangential rant, 'copyright' is also not a verb. Copyright is not something you do, it is something you have. It is essentially the right to decide under which circumstances your creative work may be copied.
(I could go into a separate rant about trademark vs. registered trademark, but that's not really my area)
