The Tracks

Three original compositions — heard by millions of callers every day.

Cold Day

Warm, ambient instrumental with gentle vintage electric piano and soft textures and a nice groove. Classic. The most-played Music-on-Hold track in the world.

The Simplicity

Relaxed, vintage electric keyboards. Calm and professional. Nice grooves, classic vibes.

Robot Dity

Upbeat, lo-fi electronic — minimal and unobtrusive. Perfect for tech companies and modern businesses.

Currently distributed as defaults in Asterisk, FreePBX, IssabelPBX, Wazo Platform, and dozens of derivative distributions worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don't license?

The CC BY-SA 3.0 license requires attribution for commercial use. Without a commercial license, your business may be exposed to copyright claims. A Macroform license provides written authorization that protects your organization.

Do I really need a license?

If you're using these tracks for commercial purposes — meaning callers on hold are hearing them as part of your business operations — then yes. The CC BY-SA 3.0 license requires attribution to the composer. A commercial license from Macroform resolves this cleanly.

What does the license cover?

One perpetual license covers all three Macroform Music tracks (Cold Day, The Simplicity, and Robot Dity) across your organization's phone system. It includes written authorization for ongoing commercial use, delivered instantly as a personalized PDF agreement.

What if I'm only using one of the tracks?

The license covers all three tracks regardless of how many you’re actively using. Most Asterisk installations include all three by default, so you’re fully covered either way.

I'm an MSP / reseller — can I license on behalf of my clients?

Yes — contact us at [email protected] for reseller arrangements and volume pricing.

I use a different PBX that bundled these tracks. Am I covered?

Yes — the license covers commercial use of the tracks regardless of which system delivered them to your phone system.

About the Composer

Paul Shuler

Sarasota, Florida

I am an independent composer, drummer, and producer who has spent years releasing music into the open community. The three tracks behind Macroform Music were released under Creative Commons and shipped as the default Music-on-Hold audio inside every Asterisk PBX installation. Over a million active installations later, these songs deserve a proper licensing home. Macroform Music continues to create and release new music, building up an extensive library of songs.
