Scott Buckley Music
Brisbane, Australia
What it is
Scott Buckley Music is a web library of production music for filmmakers, game designers, and media artists. Search filters cover genre, mood, instrumentation, and album. Tracks are generally available under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 unless a track says otherwise, allowing commercial use when Scott Buckley is credited. The site supplies a suggested credit format identifying the track, composer, and license. Music must be synchronized with other media and cannot be resold alone or redistributed to streaming platforms. For projects that need use without attribution, per-track licenses include the Web License at A$40, paid once, the Standard License at A$75, paid once, and the Full License at A$300, paid once, before tax. Orchestral remixes are outside the CC-BY library because they contain copyrighted thematic material. The library is by Brisbane-based Australian composer and arranger Scott Buckley, active since 2003.
