    Some fun new tracks are waiting for you on my new City/Urban 3 page: DREAMING OF NOIR – (Looping) SMALL TIME CROOKS – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/city-urban-3/ I’ve also created a new reflective piece for my Introspective/Emotions page: QUIET INTELLIGENCE – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/introspective/ And don’t forget about my free sound effects pages…they are listed under my free music pages. (People sometimes don’t realize they are there.) Enjoy…and please stay safe and healthy.

    Here’s a short clip from one of our episodes: “Pelican Problems.” All of the episodes are free to watch and even download to your computers so you don’t have to be online to use them. I sincerely hope they are helpful to you and your families!

    Hi Folks, If you possibly can, please consider making a small donation to support my work and my website. The keyboard synthesizers I use to create free music for everyone are very expensive…I actually make monthly payments on them…and your donations really help me a lot to pay for them each month. Thanks in advance! That said, this week’s new free MP3 music tracks are: On my Looping Music page: MYSTICAL OCEAN PUZZLE GAME_v001 – This version doesn’t include the mark-tree percussion sounds heard in the original.https://soundimage.org/looping-music/ On my Puzzle Music 6 page: PUZZLES ON ALIEN WORLDS – (Looping) – Maybe for a sci-fi themed puzzle game of some kind? CRYPTIC COOLOSITY – (Looping) – Perhaps for a cool matching game or something cryptic with motion in it?https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-6/ And on my Techno page: HAPPY TRANCIN’ – (Looping) – A really fun-sounding tranc-y loop.https://soundimage.org/dance-techno/ I’ve also had a number of requests from content creators who wish to download my tracks in bulk rather than one at a time so I’ve begun creating Music Packs of my Ogg tracks. So far, I have packs available for all of my Fantasy pages…they are available on Gumroad. Here’s the link if you’d like to check them out:https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs/ Enjoy…and please stay safe and healthy.

    Hi Folks, If you can, please consider making a small donation on my site to support my work. The camera I use to create free images for everyone is very expensive...I've been paying it off for some time...and donations from the creative community really help me a lot.

    Hi Folks, This week’s new free music tracks are: On my Fantasy 10 page: A TRAIL OF JEWELS – (Looping) QUIRKY GAME WORLD – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/ On my Funny 7 page: THE FISHBOWL ACROBATS RETURN – (Looping) WINDLE’S WHIMSICAL STREET – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/funny-7/ If you’re wondering what the big fuss about Ogg tracks is, they have several advantages: -They are small in size. -Game engines seem to handle them better for looping…MP3 files occasionally need editing. -They sound fantastic…almost as good as my original WAVs. -They’re a cool way to support my work!

    OGG TRACKS UPDATE Super high-quality Ogg versions of all my Fantasy Tracks are finally ready.

    Good News: Super high-quality Ogg versions of all of my Puzzle Music Tracks are ready.

They sound great!https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ And even MORE good news: If you create arcade-style games (or know someone who does) Ogg versions of all the tracks on my Chiptunes 1 page are now ready, too.https://soundimage.org/chiptunes/ That said, this week’s new free MP3 tracks are: On my Epic / Battle page: PREPARING FOR BATTLE – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/epic-battle/ On my Fantasy 10 page: THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM – (Looping)https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/ And on my Looping Music page: RACING MENU_V001 – (Looping) 80’S SPACE GAME LOOP_V002https://soundimage.org/looping-music/ Keep being creative and please stay safe.
