Made By Humans
Free instrumental rock and metal for streamers and creators. Play it live, keep your channel clean.
Made for the moment the fight starts
This is high-energy instrumental rock and metal, written for the boss fight, the clutch round and the DnD session that has gone quiet in all the right ways. No vocals to talk over, no dead air to fill. Drive, grit and determination, and then it gets out of your way.
No claims, no bots, no takedowns
The whole point is that you can play it. Put it on your stream and it stays your stream. Nothing gets flagged, nothing gets muted halfway through a good run, and nobody appears three weeks later to claim the VOD you already published.
Actually free, with nothing to sign
There is no account, no licence key, no subscription and no invoice. Press play on the streaming service you already use and you are done. The music is the product and you are the reason it exists.
Made by a human, on purpose
Every note was played and arranged by a person who cares about it, in Melbourne, with no generated instruments and no synthetic performances. That is the whole name. A.I. cannot listen to music the way you do, and creativity is worth protecting.
One story, told in five tracks
The first EP, InstruMETAL, is about twenty-five minutes, and it is one hero's journey played in order. Pursuing Adventure's Call sets out, Swallowed By Shadow is the low point, Following Echoes is the search back, Sparks Against The Dark is the turn, and Victory Spurs Us Onwards is the win. Play it start to finish and it carries an arc, not just a playlist.
Streaming is how it keeps going
There is no paywall because there does not need to be one. You play it on stream, someone in chat asks what the track is, they go and listen for themselves, and that is what funds the next one. Use it and you are already supporting it.
Made By Humans is high energy instrumental rock and metal that is free for streamers and content creators to use. No copyright claims, no YouTube bots. It was made to be used.
If you have ever had a stream muted, a VOD claimed or a video demonetised over thirty seconds of background music, you already know why this exists. Put this on instead. It is loud where it should be, it stays out of the way when you are talking, and it will not cost you your channel.
What you can do with it
- Play it on your stream. Any platform, any time, live or recorded. No permission needed and no claim is coming.
- Put it in your videos. Let’s plays, montages, podcasts, edits. Use one track or use all five.
- Credit if you like. A link is genuinely appreciated and helps people find it, but nothing is conditional on it.
- Making something commercial? A film, a game, an advertisement, anything you are selling. Get in touch first at support@southlight.io and we will sort it out properly.
The music lives on the streaming services rather than as a folder of files, and that is on purpose. Playing it on stream is what sends people to listen for themselves, and listening is what pays for the next EP. You get music that will not get you claimed. It gets an audience. Nobody has to lose.
Greatness is a choice, and so is making the thing yourself. Every track here was played, arranged and mixed by a person, because creating is a human thing worth keeping.
