Storytelling background music for audiobooks, narration, and distribution
This is music made for storytelling — designed to stay in the background and let the voice lead. Ideal for audiobooks, narrated series, podcasts, and educational content. No vocals, soft dynamics, steady tempo — everything built to support, not distract.
Planning to publish on Audible, Storytel, Spotify, YouTube, or through educational apps? You’ll need more than a royalty-free file — you need clear, long-term licensing that covers commercial use and full-scale distribution.
Many authors and producers run into Content ID claims when the same audiobook is uploaded to multiple platforms. To help with that, you can filter tracks by Hide Content ID — the safest choice if you or your publisher plan to distribute through different channels.
Tracks like Street Walk or Touch of Hope are often used as intros, chapter transitions, or subtle background throughout a story or course.
Composers such as Art Pedan, DPMusic, and Jon Wright have worked on real audiobook productions and narration projects. Their music is licensed for large-scale, repeatable use — with no legal surprises later.
Each download includes MP3 and WAV files, plus a PDF license confirming your rights to use the music commercially, across platforms, and over time. Whether you're self-publishing or working through a third-party, your content stays covered.
Creating children’s stories or fairy tales? Try ambient or acoustic tracks without rhythm or percussion — they’re great for bedtime narration, illustrated books, or multilingual apps for kids.
For courses and training materials, minimal background music helps maintain clarity. Our license allows use in LMS platforms, language apps, and internal training videos — with no extra steps.
If your content goes through a publishing aggregator (like Findaway Voices, Spotify for Podcasters, or automated YouTube distribution), choose tracks without Content ID to avoid any duplicate-upload claims or auto-demonetization.
FAQ – Music for storytelling and narration
Can I cut or edit the music to fit my chapters?
Yes. Most tracks are structured with loops, intros, and natural breaks. You can fade in/out, trim, or repeat sections as needed to match the pacing or tone of your content.
Are there tracks long enough to cover full chapters?
Many tracks run 2–3 minutes or more and loop smoothly, making them great for extended narration, full scenes, or long-form lessons.
Can I use several tracks in one project?
Feel free to mix different tracks for intros, transitions, or character themes. As long as you’re downloading under one account, your license covers all selected tracks.
Will this music work for multilingual or dubbed versions?
Absolutely. The instrumental format makes it easy to reuse tracks under different voiceovers, in any language, with no extra licensing needed.
Is the music balanced for voiceovers, or do I need to adjust it?
Tracks are mastered with narration in mind — subtle and midrange-focused. Still, we suggest adjusting volume in post to match your recording environment and voice tone.
