here is what he says about useing his music
Want to use and abuse my tunes?

Go nuts! You're welcome to use my music, free of charge for your projects. This includes movies, ads, podcasts, YouTube videos, karaoke, background music for your grandma's 90th birthday celebration, anything. There's no problem using them for commercial purposes. You can use them as is - instrumental or regular, or you can hack them apart to use in your songs or projects.

What's the catch? Just one: you need to provide attribution. A simple mention of my name and the song title in the credits, with a bonus if you give my website URL. If for some reason this isn't practical, it's possible to arrange a paid license for my music through Jamendo.

If you do use my music, I'd love to hear about it! Drop me a line so I can take a look. It's always fun to see.


Remember that the most important consideration for us is the precise license the songs are under. (By following the link I see that it's CC-BY, which is perfect, but saying "it's CC-BY, here's a page proving it" would have been better than just that quote.)

I think FoFiX deserves a proper theme song recorded specifically for this purpose with silly-serious lyrics about the development team and the FoF community. :2thumbsup:

...and i'm sure a lot of the people that contribute to this forum are musicians as well. If there's any interest in this I'll talk to a few friends about some brainstorm/jam sessions to that end. If anybody else is interested in contributing to something along these lines, get in touch. Any thoughts from the dev team? I'm thinking something the FOFIX team could have the rights to in exchange for proper creds.

Might not get done honestly, but it should at least be thought about / attempted. :rolleyes:

Well, do what you want - we're not going to stop you. I'm fairly sure none of us have any thoughts beyond wondering about the concept. I can't even imagine how the song would work, but I would be amused to see any results.

Heck, if any of the artists whose songs we put into the official release are impressed enough, they might make us a theme song themselves :tongue:

Edit: oh, and I wouldn't mind fretting something for this :thumbup:

Sounds like a good idea, but I hope it has all of the difficulties. I barely survive on keyboard Medium... depening on the song.

If we did get some properly licensed songs, they would have to have all instruments, all difficulties charted. For feature demonstration purposes :smile:

yup i guess for charting easy and medium and hard diffictultys we could use how rb does its which is copy the expert paste it to the hard section then take out notes for hard then copy paste it to the med section hard then take out notes for med then copy and paste it to the easy section then take out notes
