Scrolling through Instagram recently, I came across a post from Moby that genuinely stopped me mid-scroll. It wasn’t promoting a new album or a tour—it was a reminder about mobygratis, a platform that offers free music to independent filmmakers, nonprofits, and anyone creating on a tight budget. There’s already an extensive library of high quality audio on the site and Moby just added 500 more tracks.
In a world where licensing quality music can feel out of reach unless you have major backing, mobygratis feels like an act of quiet rebellion—giving independent voices the sonic tools to match their vision. It’s not just about free downloads; it’s about supporting storytelling that would otherwise struggle to find a soundtrack. Whether you’re making a short film, a community project, or a piece of content for social change, having access to Moby’s catalogue levels the playing field in a real way.
Through a new partnership with Little Walnut Productions—Moby’s mission-driven production company—the platform is doubling down on its ethos: making creative resources more accessible, promoting inclusivity, and backing the next generation of storytellers. It’s a simple idea, but in an industry often driven by profit and gatekeeping, it’s a powerful reminder that art should be about access, collaboration, and lifting each other up.
