The Thief

$ 4.00

The Thief is the result of a special collaboration with storyteller Michael Schofield, creator of the low-fantasy audio drama of the same name. Through my Storytellers initiative, I had the chance to score Symphony’s world — a city of intrigue, danger, and quiet beauty — with the help of wonderful string players: Ben Trigg and Daniel Chouinard on cello, and Jory Lane on violin. This album takes a few core themes and reshapes them again and again across different moods, creating a soundtrack that is both intimate and dramatic, meant to live inside stories and inspire new ones.

The Thief by Ivan Duch

Description

Album Description

The Thief grew out of my Storytellers initiative, where I had the joy of collaborating with writer Michael Schofield on his low-fantasy mystery world. Together we explored Symphony’s grim journey, and I brought those themes into music—working alongside wonderful musicians Ben Trigg and Daniel Chouinard on cello, and Jory Lane on violin.

This album is a thematic exploration: the same motifs woven, bent, and re-imagined across different moods, always returning to the story at its heart. It was made to live inside Michael’s world, but it’s now here for any storyteller, game master, or dreamer to step into and make their own.

I offer an ever growing selection of royalty free fantasy music. Please read the following before downloading it:

I love what you do. Is there any way to contribute?
Of course! I'm a full time composer, and I recognize it can be difficult to make a living out of it at times, specially releasing so much music for free. So any sort support you can give is always welcome. You can also support me on Patreon and Ko-fi.

What are Stems?
Stems are included for my Patron's exclusive content. Ever wanted to remove an instrument you don't like from a song? You can do that with audio stems. The stems are audio files for the specific instrument families (woodwinds, brass, etc) in the songs. You can mix our tracks the way you need them. For instance, you might only need the percussion for a specific scene.
What is Royalty Free Music?
Royalty free music means that you get a license to use a piece of music, not repeatedly on a per-use basis. Normally such licenses are paid but as long as you credit me properly you can use it for free.
What sort of music rights do I get?
By downloading my free songs you become the owner of a non-exclusive license. Such license does not include releasing and distributing my music as stand-alone tracks or albums . And also means I can keep on distributing the songs to other content creators to use in their projects.

Yes. Attribution is strictly required for the free license. Patrons on the $10 and above, and those who buy special licenses for the songs (contact me if you need any) can use it without attribution in those cases where proper attribution is not possible. To learn more about the proper attribution check out this page.
Can you give me a written license?
