Hi, I create videos to educate others on living more with nature instead of from nature. Anyway, I currently pay for Epidemic Sound. I only use the songs from a single band for all of my videos. So, Epidemic Sound is getting a lot of money for a dozen songs from the same band.

I’d rather pay the artists for their work than Epidemic Sound. But I don’t know where to start. I’d like to find something like the songs by Wanderer’s Trove to use for my videos. I don’t mind paying as much as I do with ES. I’d just rather it go to the artist than a corporation. Any advice on how to find such songs without going for a subscription?

Thank you!

PS: I really hope this is the right community for this question. I don’t know much about music or music production at all.

This is probably super obvious, and you already tried, but I have to ask, Is there any way to contact them outside of ES? Does Wanderer’s Trove have a site, social media, etc.? If so, do they post any contact information like e-mail? If you get ahold of them directly they will be able to direct you to where you can buy their stuff without a third party if there is one.

I have not been able to find contact information for them. But I also don’t care if it is their songs or something in the same style, so other artists would be totally fine.

There’s a bunch of similar artists at the bottom if that helps.

Thanks, I’ll see if any of them are actually similar (to my ears) and have contact information available.
