H2O: Origins

H2O: Origins

Regular price $32.99 USD

12 compositions · 140 stems. These are the early compositions from when I was starting H2O. They didn’t capture the philosophy I was going for, because the sounds kept blending together instead of creating the contrast I needed. But they still had their own kind of magic.

A feeling presents itself differently than it used to. It combines the mind, soul, and body to contribute to a greater essence. Through this we prevail.

Questions About The Pack?

Origins are my earlier attempts at what each Opus pack set out to do. They didn’t carry the concept as fully as I wanted, but I didn’t want to abandon them. I’d rather they become part of someone else’s music.
None of these compositions appear in the Opus pack itself, so owning both means no overlap.

Yes. Every purchase includes a non-exclusive license to release your song commercially, on streaming and through distributors like DistroKid.

A few bigger moves, like a label deal, a film or TV placement, or passing 1,000,000 streams, need a new license. Just contact me and we’ll set it up.

No. There’s no clearance step. Register your song with your PRO, add the credit, and release it.

No extra fee. Instead, the songwriting royalties are split between us.

You just register your song with your PRO (like ASCAP or BMI, where songwriters sign up to get paid). The Quick Guide for Releases walks you through it.

Because they’re original compositions, written, played and recorded by me, not generic loops.

So the standard industry practice applies, and the songwriting royalties are split.

One per composition, so a pack of 12 can become 12 songs. Each composition and its stems count as one sample, so using any of its stems uses that sample.

Mixing stems from two compositions in one song? Both samples count as used.

Releasing more than one song? Register each one separately with your PRO, as outlined in the Quick Guide for Releases.

Yes, anytime. Your order email includes an upgrade code.

To upgrade:

  1. Go back to the pack’s product page
  2. Select Compositions + Stems
  3. Enter your code at checkout

You’ll only pay the difference.
