This is awesome and I just wanna say that I thank you for making some good quality stuff available for use under attribution and 0 license as opposed to making all complete works non commercial. At the same time I know people want recognition, it is also helpful for both the artist and the person using the sound / music. The artist gets recognition and the user has sound / music to work with in their film / movie. This is the way to do it. Keep up the awesome work, I will keep looking for your work.
