About this track
About Staring Abyss
Their names have been forgotten for so long… they are the Forgotten Ones. And as a machine without purpose as a traveler without destination they are sleeping and waiting. But don’t get confused by their inaction, their power has not fizzled out and the whole world shall see their might when they awaken once again…
I collaborated with Rudok’s Maps. This time I wrote an unsettling Lovecraftian cosmic horror ambience for his new map…
Rudok’s Maps has also created a Lovecraftian homebrew pack in Rudok’s Tavern with 8 items and 4 monsters, and their patrons will get these items and monsters on Printable cards that serve as nice handouts to players.

Common Questions
Licensing & Usage FAQ
Everything you need to know before using my music in your projects.
- Is the music totally free?
- Yes — free tracks are tagged as free and yours to use as long as you credit me as the composer. Check the license info page for proper attribution details.
- How do I credit you?
- Simply name Ivan Duch as the composer wherever the music is used — in video descriptions, credits screens, show notes, etc. Full attribution guide here.
- What is royalty-free music?
- Royalty-free means you pay once (or in this case, just credit me) for a license to use the music — not on a per-use basis. You're free to use it across multiple projects.
- What rights do I get?
- A non-exclusive license to use the music in your projects. You may not redistribute or sell the tracks as standalone audio files or albums.
- What are Stems?
- Stems are individual instrument tracks (brass, woodwinds, percussion, etc.) from a song. They let you mix the music to fit your scene. Stems are available for Patrons.
- Do you offer exclusive licenses?
- Yes. If you need original, exclusive music for a film, game, or other project, visit the commissions page. Terms can be tailored to your project's needs.
- Can I use the music without crediting you?
- Attribution is required on every license — credit Ivan Duch as the composer wherever attribution is possible. The only exception is media where attribution isn’t practical (live podcasts, live events), where it may be omitted. Contact me if you need a special arrangement.
- Is there a written license?
- Yes — you can find the full written license on the licensing page. It protects you if someone ever falsely claims the music. See the copyright page for more.
