It's a little hard to believe, but Soundimage turned 3 years old this month, so I wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone who has been so positive and encouraging from the start. Creating original music is a lot of work, but it's thrilling to hear my tracks in your games, apps, videos and emerging art forms like interactive novels. I feel like part of me is in your work, and it's incredibly satisfying to be able to help you make your visions into realities.
Thank you!
In a few more weeks, I should have seamless looping versions done of nearly every track on the site. That said, this week's new free tracks are from my sci-fi pages. They are:
I've also been getting emails asking if my tracks are free to use in commercial projects. The answer is yes (with proper attribution.) Please see my homepage for attribution information. :-)
I've received a lot of requests for chiptunes style music so I've opened a chiptunes page and uploaded a bunch of tracks to get it started. I hope some of them are helpful!
I get emails every once in a while from folks who seem to be having a bit of trouble navigating the site. Here are some things to keep in mind that should hopefully help:
The titles of the pages in the tan box under the header image are actually links to the various pages. Hover over them to highlight them (a box appears around them) and then click.
I think sometimes people are fooled when they click on one of the page links, like for example "Fantasy 3" and nothing seems to happen. But if you look closer, you'll see that the title of the link you clicked on actually turns to bold indicating that you are now on that particular page. Simply scroll down to see the contents of that page.
Since all of the page links appear at the top of every page, it's easy to think that you haven't been taken anywhere after clicking on one of them. Again, notice that the title of the link you clicked on has now turned bold...and you have to scroll down to see the page contents.
Now that looping versions of most of my tracks are done, I'm back to creating brand new music and soundscapes. Got a new synth, too, so lots of new sounds are on their way. Here are some for starters:
"REACHING ALTITUDE" – I would love to hear this in a drone video…(I’m a huge fan.) But it might work in a travel video as well. http://soundimage.org/events/
"THE ASTRONOMY CLUB" – Somehow these kids always seemed to have a lovable goofiness about them. I was never in the astronomy club, but probably should have been…I love all things having to do with space (and certainly qualified as far as the goofy factor was concerned!) http://soundimage.org/funny-3/
On the Sci-Fi 5 page, we have:
"Monsters on Board"
"Monsters on Board 2"
"Monsters on Board 3" http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-5/
On the Events/Travel 2 page, we have a new track intended for drone pilots, but it might work in a travel video as well:
"Cruising at Altitude" http://soundimage.org/events-travel-2/
For those of you needing puzzle game music, I started a new page of just that so all my puzzle music is in one place now (instead of scattered around.) So we have these new tracks:
"Hypnotic Puzzle"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 2"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 3"
"Hypnotic Puzzle 4" http://soundimage.org/puzzle-music/
And finally, a couple of new looping tracks on my Action page:
"Quirky Action"
"Quirky Action 2" http://soundimage.org/action/
For some reason my Facebook page for Soundimage won't let me post my daily updates (or anything else) so I've started a personal Facebook page. Here's the link:
If anyone is doing a mad scientist piece, this one might come in handy:
"Sneaking Around Doctor Weird's Laboratory" (Looping)
and for a crazy racing or action game, we have:
"Wacky Water Balloon Waces" (Looping) ...sounds like something Elmer Fudd would say...lol. http://soundimage.org/funny-3/
Wow it's been a busy week (and summer come to think of it) but I did manage to get a few new tracks done for everyone...they are on my Fantasy 7 page and my Sci-Fi 5 page:
I've received a number of requests from game developers for .ogg versions of my tracks and have been asked why .ogg files aren't posted on my site. The reason is that my hosting company doesn't support that file format...so please feel free to convert my tracks to .ogg (or any file format that you need.) :-)
That said, this week's new free tracks are on my Sci-Fi 5 page, my Puzzle Music page and my Funny 3 page:
Well, another super busy week...(and I thought I was going to have a nice relaxing summer)...yeah, right!
Anyhow, here are some new tracks that are intended for faster-paced puzzle games, but would work for other things I'm sure. They are on my new Puzzle Music 2 page:
Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it! Please feel free to send me links to your games if you wish...I love to see how creative people are using my work!

@Eric Matyas You work so hard and consistently at these pieces, and your graphics, that it disappoints me that hardly anyone ever acknowledges you.
@Toque was the last gentleman to express gratitude back in November 2016.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that your work is appreciated.
I hope some people give you some paid projects.
Yes used another one of your loops in one of my games. Credit given and donated a bit on your site as well.
Thanks
