Usage
I am honored to now regularly receive requests from people asking to use my music in various ways, from dancing to it at a show, to remixing it, to using it as a background track for your video. I want to encourage this! I love the idea that my music and energy can be integrated into your work and shared even further than I can reach myself. To facilitate this, here's a very simple policy for usage/licensing/re-use of my music that I hope you'll find straightforward and fair:
FOR PERSONAL, NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-PROMOTIONAL USE:
1. Please purchase the album
- They are available HERE. Please purchase the album for the full suggested price (usually only $10)
- You can listen to/preview the entire recording before you decide to make a purchase
- This will give you a wide variety of formats to choose from
2. Please credit me, where this is feasible
- Ideally, this would be including the text "Music by Dixon's Violin" (note the apostrophe), or "<songname> by Dixon's Violin"
- Inclusion of my website (dixonsviolin.com) is encouraged, but not required
3. (optionally) Let me know about it :)
- This is not required, but I do love hearing about your projects! Unless you'd rather I not, I may share your project and/or add you to the wall-of-fame below :)
That's it! No royalties, no special payments (other than buying the album), and no need to get my permission on a case-by-case basis. I trust you! If you need a special version/duration/format, I am happy to create this for you, and I will request a reasonable editing fee. And if you need an exception to any of the above, just ask! I'd be happy to discuss - shoot me an email at dixonsviolin@gmail.com
I thank you for your interest and support, and I'm excited for what you'll create!
With love,
- Dixon
