yes! well, in most cases...
from Dream (2022) onward, all of my self-released songs are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. anyone may use these songs freely, so long as they provide credit back to me!
a great example of some credit text would be as follows:
music used: mellodoot - Dream
buy it here: https://arimelody.me/music/dream
licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
for any songs prior to this, they were all either released by me (in which case, i honestly don't mind), or in collaboration with chill people who i don't see having an issue with it. do be sure to ask them about it, though!
in the event the song you want to use is released under some other label, their usage rights will more than likely trump whatever i'd otherwise have in mind. i'll try to negotiate some nice terms, though! ;)
i love the idea of other creators using my songs in their work, so if you do happen to use my stuff in a work you're particularly proud of, feel free to send it my way!
