looking for background-music :!:

[Sebas]

Does anybody know a good site for free background music? Its difficult to find one because there are lots of sites with music that lasts for like 10 seconds and i can't do anything with that. I would be nice if the music last for min 30 seconds..

Btw I dont wan't to pay for the music

Get in contact with a composer. Otherwise, you'll be paying fees for royalty free music.

Don't be like every other amateur filmmaker and use existing copyrighted music.

Here are the terms of use.
If you are using Freeplay Music for:

1. *Programming content to be included in an ASCAP or BMI licensed US TV Broadcasts, as well as later rebroadcasts of same ex-US (excludes local-only TV, community access TV, Radio and Advertising Commercials)
2. Feature-Length Films released by a major studio

In addition, provided the use first occurs in the US, videocassette synchronization fees are also FREE.
It's possible, if you are going to display teh films, IE on the net, that you will NOT fall inot one of the free categories - display on the net is not private
If you are going to sell CDs, even if you do make a profit, you are generating revenue and you have to pay a license fee.
The only way it is free for use on Television is in a icensed network broadcast ( log sheets - ASCAP or BMI will distribute the license fees paid by the broadcaster). So even if yo hit public access, you have to pay. Film festival, from the terms of use you have to pay...
ALways make sure you read everything on any sites like this.
