“I want you to just dive in, use the music, and see what happens”: Moby makes 500 instrumental tracks available for free as he relaunches Mobygratis sound library

"You can remix it, you can edit it, you can add parts to it, you can play clarinet on it, you can use it for social media, for films, for choreography: the idea is complete creative freedom"

Mobygratis is a free sound library launched by electronic artist Moby all the way back in 2005 with the goal of providing creators of all kinds with high-quality, royalty-free music to use in their projects. The library has since supported over 50,000 indie films and media projects.


This week, Moby announced a relaunch of Mobygratis that brings 500 new tracks to the platform.

The majority of the library's songs can be downloaded in both MP3, WAV and multitrack formats, making it easier to remix, adapt and customize music to suit any project. The library also now has improved search and filter functionality, so you're able to filter tracks by genre, mood or BPM to hone in on exactly the vibe you're looking for.

Most of the music in the library can be used in any non-commercial creative project, with the proviso that it cannot be used to promote animal products or right-wing political causes. If you'd like to use the tracks in monetized or commercial projects, you'll need to apply for a license. Certain tracks marked as restricted may not be modified or used collaboratively.
"You can do whatever you want with it," Moby says in a video shared to his YouTube channel. "You can remix it, you can edit it, you can add parts to it, you can play clarinet on it, you can use it for social media, for films, for choreography: the idea is complete creative freedom. I don't want to inhibit whatever you're going to do with the music here."


"To be really clear, it's free. There's no bait and switch; it's not like you have to sign up for seven days free and then all of a sudden you have to pay something. Nope. It's free. One of my goals with Mobygratis is to create as few barriers for use as possible. I want you to just dive in, use the music and we can see, or you can see, what happens."

The tracks in Mobygratis' library are almost exclusively instrumental, as Moby says he wants to leave them open to be adapted and reimagined by its users. He also says that at some point in the near future he plans to add another 1000 songs to the platform, so stay tuned for updates.

 

Gratis is always welcome. I really appreciate this turn by Moby.
I also have the greatest respect for his Music. I grew up with Moby and i know what nice music he can make.

BUT. The music on this website is really bad (Sadly i need to say this)
Already the titles sounds AI Generated.

This gives me again the feeling of quantity instead of quality. The world we live in actually is based on quantity.

Actually i´m working on a short Travel movie. So i edit my own clips and i searchd for good music.
Since this is my hobby and i don´t earn money with that i searched for music which i also can upload together with the video on Youtube.

I came accros this: https://uppbeat.io/

the pricing is MORE than fair with 6.33€. I also like the Quality of the songs.
You get 3 Songs gratis, when you make the accreditation for the song in your Video.

When i would make more videos or use it for business i would go for this.
Alternatives are artlist or audiio which costs something 10€ per month.

 

Thanks @SpyFx ✪ ✓ for the good news and thanks also to the much-loved Moby and his team for "Music for everyone, for free".

Moby - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?

 

Very nice instrumentals collection, even just for listening.
Thanks for the info !

 

He's very cool to have kept this up!

I saw him years ago driving a fast white car on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, waved at him at a red light and he waved back.

 

There is a Youtube Audio Library, I only stumbled across it when I found this song.

a song Moby wrote about a sink he worshipped. apparently he had a drinking problem..

 

"There are some things, however, that you are not allowed to do with mobygratis music. Any Track licensed to you under this Agreement may be terminated by mobygratis at any time for any reason or no reason. Moby does not permit his Tracks to be used to advertise right-wing politics or causes, or to be used to promote meat, dairy, or other animal products"

 

fair enough

 

dairy kicks ass

 

Moby - Hymn fro the Everything Is Wrong LP

 

how come you never wave to me anymore? was it something I said, or it is that time I borrowed a pack of Lucky Strikes and never paid you back (they were kinda stale, and a couple were broke, I was doing you a favor by taking them off your hands)

anyhow no hard feelings, and I airmailed a pack of Lucky Strikes to you but they got caught in swiss customs, some rando swiss dude texted me a pix of him smoking them in a ski hut while enjoying rotissere kangaroo and schnaps..

 

guess that "ode to a cheeseburger" soundtrack is out then...
