Royalty Free Acoustic Music

It can fade nicely into the background, where it accompanies the mood of the scene without influencing it in any particular direction.

In other words, the audience nods happily along with the music without acknowledging it in any detail.

There are no Rules

Now, the exciting bit about acoustic music.

As we mentioned already, it's versatile because it isn't bound to any specific genre of film. It's also not bound to any particular genre of music, either.

Acoustic music might tend to be light-hearted, but it can be bite as hard as any other style when you want it to.

There are a few ways to use acoustic music in interesting ways.

Firstly, you can take the darkest, most-aggressive music and play it acoustically.

For example, when you think of the band Slipknot, you don't generally think of the word acoustic.

But check out this acoustic cover of a well-known slipknot track. You could even argue that an acoustic version of a very dark track is even eerier at times.

Of course, it doesn't need to be death-metal or any other particular genre that you give the acoustic treatment. It could be Hip-Hop, dance music, or anything else unexpected.

Another way to twist the common perception of acoustic music is to add some irony.

Let's say you have the typical happy-go-lucky acoustic guitar strumming, and everyone thinks they know where it's going.

There's nothing to say that you can't add lyrics that go entirely against the grain. This method is sometimes used to add humor or just to create a feeling of awkwardness.

If it sounds good and creates the right mood, that's all that matters; there are no rules more important than that.
