About this track
About The Sylvan Blade
Every great story begins with a dream—and Aurum Studios is a team of young filmmakers who are turning their dreams into breathtaking cinematic worlds. When they invited me to compose for their projects, I knew I was stepping into something special. Their passion for storytelling is infectious, and working with them has been an absolute joy.
The Sylvan Blade is a live-action fantasy short film that speaks for itself—so I won’t spoil it for you. Just watch it, immerse yourself in its world, and let the story unfold. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we3LJSfsnAQ.
Composing the soundtrack for this film was an adventure in itself, and I can’t speak highly enough of Aurum Studios and their incredible work. If you love storytelling in all its forms, you won’t want to miss what they’re creating.

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.
