If you’d like to use my music in your video:

in the video’s description, please provide

>> title(s) of the tracks(s) being used
>> my name (Birocratic)
>> a direct and visible link to http://birocratic.bandcamp.com

example: if you really like my sound and used 3 of my

tracks in your video, the description should include the
following:

Birocratic (http://birocratic.bandcamp.com) />

>> I encourage a one-time donation by purchasing my music on
bandcamp.
>> Currently, my entire discography (50+ tracks, 9 EPs/albums)
is available for $7.20 USD, which I think is pretty generous,
considering you’d spend twice that on a burger you can only eat
once.

If you’d like to rap or sing over my beats:

DO NOT include my name in the title of the song (i.e. no “Prod.

probably haven’t (no offense)

DO include my name and the title of my original song with a link

to its corresponding SoundCloud url.

Beat: “Celery Man”, produced by Birocratic (http://
soundcloud.com/birocratic/celery-man)

 profit,
please first solicit my express written consent.
