somanylynx's News

Posted by somanylynx - January 20th, 2024


Geometry Dash 2.2 has been released for about a month now, and because of that, and specially now that the platformer mode has together with it, I'm open to collaborate with any creator by making a song, a loop, sound design SFX even?, for your level, as long as i find your project exciting.


All for free, you know.. just for the sake of making something great. After all, I once was a level builder too, and seeing this much creativity overflowing across the entire game makes me unbelievably happy, you have no idea.

TL;DR. Yes, you can use my music without written permission depending on the case. Please read entirely to avoid any misunderstood.



LICENCING



To begin with and explained in a very simple, clear and concise way, all my music is copyrighted. In fact, all music is copyrighted by default unless specified otherwise. Copyright is very simple: the owner of the material has the right to choose who, where, how, and and when someone can use their multimedia (call it music, artwork, video, book, etc.). YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to do anything without the owner's permission by law.


It's very straight forward, but it tends to be creatively limiting and hard to deal with management wise, so naturally my terms are more flexible than that, they can be resumed to: If there's no fat money involved just go ahead and do it.


That being said, you don't have to ask for my permission for the following cases:


  • Background music: I'm ok with that, just leave the name of the song, my artist name and my website in the video description and that's it, i don't ask anything else.


  • Rhythm Game Levels: i don't mind if you make a level in osu!, Geometry Dash, P.A. or whatever pop rhythm game you play on your free times. I find some of the works made there really fascinating, i also don't mind if you upload a video showing off your level to YouTube or any other video streaming platform.


Have to mention that most of my music has ContentID by default, this way I can claim royalties from unauthorized reuploads but can removed very easily if required, so if you need your video to be whitelisted from the royalty claim HMU at somanylynx@gmail.com.


Make sure to check the copyright section of the Newgrounds page of the track for extra exceptions!


Other rules for specific cases:


  • Live Shows/Festivals/Sets: Just take it, I don't mind honestly. I'd still appreciate if you bought the lossless file at somanylynx.bandcamp.com.


  • Label Releases (the very few times i have released in one): you should follow the label conditions and copyright.


  • Remixes I've made: Check the terms from both ends, maybe the original author doesn't share the same terms as mine.


  • Music visualizers/Free "promo": I'm just not a fan of DSG wannabes or NCS fanmades, Videos like that may be taken down under my consideration.


  • Bootlegs (unofficial remixes/covers): I'm more of the kind to choose who have the chance to re-imagine my artworks, but i'm still willing to let you do something if it truly contributes more to the art. Any low effort bootlegs -under my judgement- may be taken down without further notice.
