    Well, I’ve hit the 1900 track mark. It’s a little hard to believe, especially since I started the site with just 100 tracks. Almost every day now someone contacts me and tells me how they’re using my assets. That’s great to hear…I love seeing how you guys are using my work in your projects. Have fun and keep being creative! That said, this week’s new free music tracks are: On my Fantasy 9 page: THE CASTLE MICE – (Looping) – Scurrying around the drafty hallways, up to their usual mischief.https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ SAFARIS ON OTHER WORLDS – (Looping) – What kinds of amazing things will you find?https://soundimage.org/fantasy-9/ On my Funny 6 page: BUFFOONS IN COMMAND – (Looping) – This could be fun in a comedic historical game…or maybe something else with incompetent characters. If you need some affordable custom work created (music, sound effects, images, etc.,) feel free to email me. My email address is here:https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ Enjoy!

    Hey guys, I’m a bit under the weather, but I did manage to get a couple of new tracks done: On my Dark/Ominous 2 page: MIDNIGHT FOG – (Looping) – What creeps though the fog? This track might go well with my other one, “Midnight Mist.”https://soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2/ On my Nature/Science 3 page: DEEP SKY OBJECTS – They shimmer silently in the night sky like ancient jewels. Most can only be seen with a telescope. The light passing through my lens and into my eye left these objects long before humans walked the Earth. Perspective is humbling.https://soundimage.org/nature-science-3/ Like all of my music, they are completely free to use with attribution. Enjoy!

    Greetings, I’ve decided to begin expanding the sound effects section of my website (which desperately needs it) so if anyone has any requests, just let me know. One request that I received on social media is for various coin sounds, so here’s a brand new page devoted to that: SFX - Coinshttps://soundimage.org/sfx-coins/ As always, feel free to edit as needed. Enjoy!

    Hi everyone,


    Here’s a brand new track on my puzzle music 4 page:


    “ELECTRIC RAINDROPS” – (Looping) – Perhaps for a quiet, methodical puzzle with a hint of mystery (and quirkiness.)

    https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4/


    Continuing to build up the ambience section of my site…(which is in dire need)… here are some more new ambiences on my AMB - Sci-Fi Ambience page:


    “MIDNIGHT CYBER STREETS” – For a creepy, deserted nighttime situation perhaps.

    https://soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience/


    “FAILING GRID” – Perhaps in a dystopic cyber world.

    https://soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience/


    As always, if you happen to use my work in your project, send me a link…I’d love to see it!


    Daily updates are here as I release new assets:

    Quote from Interfearance

    On 5/28/2019 at 4:20 PM, Interfearance said: These are awesome, seems like something they would use if they remade Zelda games with modern texture resolutions

    Thanks, I really appreciate it and hope some of my work is helpful! ?

    Happy June everyone…summer is almost here! This week we have a bunch of cool fantasy texture images.
