What Scott Buckley Music is
Scott Buckley Music is a web library of production music for filmmakers, game designers, and media artists. Its filters help you find tracks by genre, mood, instrumentation, or album. Downloads are generally available under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, and commercial projects can use them with credit to Scott Buckley. The site suggests a credit format that names the track and composer and identifies the license. Music must be synchronized with other media; it cannot be sold on its own or redistributed to streaming platforms. For use without attribution, per-track licenses cost A$40, paid once for Web, A$75, paid once for Standard, or A$300, paid once for Full, before tax. The library is by Brisbane-based Australian composer and arranger Scott Buckley, who has been active since 2003. Orchestral remixes are outside the CC-BY library because they contain copyrighted thematic material, and the site says using them is at the user's risk.
