    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:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100017638394276 Have a good weekend! :)

    Hi everyone,

    As promised, I've added about 50 distressed paper textures. They might be useful for maps, backgrounds and other things.

    http://soundimage.org/txr-paper/

    I hope some of them are helpful. :)

    Have a great weekend! :)

    I just opened a new page of paper textures that might be useful for maps, backgrounds and other things:

    http://soundimage.org/txr-paper/

    As always, feel free to edit as needed.

    Next week I'll begin adding distressed paper textures which should (hopefully) look really cool.

    Hi everyone,

    Lots of new music for you:

    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/

    Hi everyone,

    I've uploaded about 20 additional seamless metal texture images to finish out the set from last week. Each is 2048X2048. For anyone who's interested, they all came from a retired DC-7 aircraft. I Hope some of them will be helpful.

    (Scroll down...they live about half way down the page.)

    I've just uploaded about 70 new seamless metal textures. All are 2048X2048. Some have a "camo" look and might work well for military-themed objects. Others have intriguing patterns that might look cool in fantasy-based things. And some are just plain weird looking, but what the heck...give them a look. Hopefully some of them will be helpful.

    More are on the way. :)

    More brand new free tracks for everyone...

    "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/

    "GRUNGE STREET GAME" – (Looping) Might work under a fighting level.http://soundimage.org/action/

    "MIDNIGHT WANDERER" – Through the cold concrete jungle.http://soundimage.org/city-urban-2/

    "A CITY FOR ALL MANKIND" – Perhaps one day people will finally learn to get along.http://soundimage.org/positive-upbeat/

    Have a great week! :)

    Hi everyone,

    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:

    "Sky Runner" (standard and looping) "Cyber Teen"http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-5/

    "It's Always Sunny in the 80's" "It's Raining Pixels" "The Ice Cream Man"http://soundimage.org/chiptunes/

    "After the Invasion"http://soundimage.org/horrorsurreal/

    "From the Sand to the Stars"http://soundimage.org/techno/

    I hope some of them are useful! :)

    Hi everyone,

    This week's new free tracks are:

    "Cyber Dystopia"_Looping

    http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-5/

    "Sewer Creepers"_Looping

    "Grunge Bot"_Looping

    "Breakdown"_Looping

    "Countdown"_Looping

    http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-4/

    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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    Anyhow, I hope that's helpful! :)

    Hi everyone,

    This week's new images are all seamless so they can be tiled.

    The first group might be useful in sci-fi games. Feel free to scale them, mix with procedural textures or other images as needed.http://soundimage.org/txr-sci-fi/

    The second bunch are stone textures and could be useful for walls or other structures.http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/

    Please note: On all of my texture pages, the seamless images are grouped below the standard ones so make sure to scroll down...(WAY down on the rock/stone page.)

    Anyhow, I hope some of them are helpful. Have a great week!
