How to find a song

Happy new year ATS family!

I have a question for the internet and music gurus out there: how do I find the name of a song (it has no lyrics) and if is copyrighted or not? I tried Shazam, SoundHound, some other online music recognition sites, nothing. Only one site gave the name of an arabic artist and video, but when I checked it out turns out the artist took only a small fragment of this song to compile a mix of his own. And this is most obviously NOT arabic music.

By the sound of it is more like asiatic, China or something similar. Sounds a lot like the music from the movie Kung Fu Panda but it's obviously not from there or Shazam would have recognized it. I have it for more than 3 years on my PC, found it on a random art website and was struck by how good it is. Shortly after that the artist removed it, I guess copyrighting issues. The artist was chinese.

The point is I adore this song and I would love to use in a short animation but I don't want to put a ton of work in it just to discover afterwards that is copyrighted and be taken down. And in my opinion it's too good to be public domain.

I uploaded it on Soundcloud if you want to listen to it and I called it Unknown Symphony

So please, please help me find this song, is driving me crazy!

Duckduckgo music without lyrics. Time period?

I found it around 2016-2017. But the song could be older.

Edit that: the track on my PC says May 2018. That's when I downloaded.

Bookmark everything

No joy. Audiotag also no results.
I may try to upload it to youtube just to see if THEY are recognizing it and alert me.

Try frequencies =... a reply to: WhiteHat

There needs to be a reverse image search type of thing for audio.

Sorry I can't help you. Maybe try reddit, r/helpmefind.

a reply to: WhiteHat

I'm definitely no audiophile, but, to me, it sounds like something Hugo Montenegro may have produced for a movie or TV show.
Good luck...

Do you recall the original file name of the song?
If so , maybe a web search for the file name
will give some results.

You could also try the Wayback Machine
If you recall the original sight that you got the
music from. Dead links come alive there

Hello. I am a known guitarist from a 50's instrumental rock group w 11 instrumental hits. I own dozens of copyrights, International, collecting royalties.

There is something like a "fingerprint" search for music w/o vocals...don't know, been a bit, but musical search by notation are often done to compare for copyright lawsuits.

I'll try to find more. Best

Ask Siri or Alexa while playing the song what it is!!!

a reply to: WhiteHat

No idea but it sounds like music from a movie or anime or something.

Made a post on reddit, I'll let you know if there are any revelations. Hope you don't mind, but I pretty much copied and pasted your OP here, over there (in quotes from a friend, not as my own OP).

Here are the reddit posts if you want to follow them yourself:

May be from an Australian TV mini-series, closing credits.

Can't remember the name though.

It is an old one.

I love music from that era. It's the perfect escapism for me.

Whoever you are, I thank you for your contributions to art.
