London Symphony Orchestra · Abbey Road Studios
Music for Video Games
Real orchestral music for video games, recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. One license covers sync and master rights worldwide, for life — from €29.90, no subscription, no collection-society complications, no Content ID blocks.
Orchestral Game Soundtracks, Fully Cleared from €29.90
Every track in the Artyfile Music for Video Games catalogue was recorded live by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, London — delivered as 44.1 kHz WAV files. No MIDI mockups, no sample loops: the weight, spatial depth, and dynamic range that define a memorable game soundtrack come from real musicians in a world-class room. For indie developers and AAA studios alike, that sonic quality is the difference between a game that feels complete and one that doesn't.
Artyfile manages both sync rights and master rights directly. That single fact matters more than it sounds. When you license a track through Artyfile Basic (€29.90, one track, lifetime worldwide), there are no additional fees from collection societies, no Content ID claims on your trailer or gameplay footage, no retroactive copyright disputes after your game ships on Steam, Epic, or any other platform. The license is granted once, it covers all territories, and it does not expire — including future ports, DLC, and promotional content derived from the same game.
What the License Covers for Game Developers
The Artyfile Basic license grants worldwide synchronization rights and master-use rights in a single transaction. This covers:
- In-game use (menus, cutscenes, ambient layers, boss fights)
- Game trailers, teaser videos, and press kits uploaded to YouTube, Twitch, or any platform
- Physical and digital distribution on all storefronts, globally, for the lifetime of the title
- No subscription, no annual renewal, no per-stream royalty back to Artyfile
Sync rights are managed directly by Artyfile — no additional GEMA fees or collection-society claims apply.
Own a Share of the Music: Artyfile Limited Edition
For developers who want a deeper stake in the score, Artyfile Limited Edition (from €96.90) allows you to own 1–10% of the master recording as a Music NFT. Ownership means you receive a proportional share of streaming and sync royalties generated by that track across all platforms — permanently. It is the equivalent of a co-publishing position, structured for the digital era. Available on a per-track, limited-quantity basis.
Artyfile was founded by Paul Lorenz — composer, producer, and the architect behind more than 500 million streams across 30 years of professional work. The catalogue reflects that standard.

Why does real LSO orchestral recording matter for a game soundtrack compared to MIDI or sample libraries?
A live orchestra recorded at Abbey Road delivers the acoustic resonance, ensemble breath, and dynamic nuance that sample libraries approximate but cannot replicate. For cutscenes, emotional story beats, and title sequences, that authenticity directly affects how players perceive and remember a game.
