Indie music

You can rummage through the sources and find the authors of these compositions, for example, almost all the music in Geometry Dash is tracks by Newgrounds artists. While not all of their music is available for free, they offer opaque licensing terms that make it easy to understand what can be used.

OverClocked Remix is ​​a resource on which remixes of music from video games are posted. Gives you a good selection of classic tunes from your favorite games.
