Composer Kevin MacLeod

I used to be among the privileged few who told film stories on TV newscasts.
Now I am among millions who tell video stories on the Internet via You Tube.
A lot of us like to use music with our videos, but using current or classic recording artists can get us into copyright trouble. So we look for music in the public domain--in other words, music you can use for free. That's how we have found professional composer Kevin MacLeod who is divides his time between New York and his hometown, Green Bay, WI. Kevin gets paid for composing music and scoring films and commercials, but he also puts a lot of his music on the Internet for anyone to use free of charge.
MacLeod's melodies are on 37,000 You Tube videos! Thank you Kevin.

@ApsisApocynthion it's not an original composition, that's understood, but he did a digital rendition of it, available royalty-free on his site

Yes, I use your music at "cheries5" and it is outstanding! You are so very talented and I hope I live on (now 60) to hear more. I hope to pursue a digital approach and learn to use software like you do. Wish you lived near Zanesville, Ohio!

Kevin MacLeod is great, but I just want to note that the music played @ 0:30 is from a Bach Brandenburg Concerto.

Great profile of Kevin's music! Thanks, Glen!
