  • 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!

    http://soundimage.org/chiptunes/

    Have a great week!

  • Hi everyone,

    This week's new free tracks are from my sci-fi and horror pages. They are:

    "Sewer Monsters"_Looping

    http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-2/

    "Closing In 2"_Looping

    "Night Stalker"_Looping

    "Disturbed Soundscape"_Looping

    "Lurking in the Shadows"_Looping

    http://soundimage.org/horrorsurreal/

    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. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile">

  • Hi everyone,

    I just began a new page of cool Sci-Fi texture images. Give it a look:

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

    I'll be adding many more images, including skins for creatures, aliens, etc.

    Any requests?

    Btw, I've also had folks ask about how to credit me for my images. Please simply list me and my website under "Textures" in your credits section...there's no need to identify which images are mine...unless you really want to. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile">

    Anyhow, I think this is going to evolve into a really cool page. Hope it's helpful!

  • It is really appreciable. Great work

    Thanks, I appreciate it!

    Hi everyone,

    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:

    "Retro Sci-Fi Planet"_Looping

    "Night Winds"_Looping

    "Eerie Cyber World"_Looping

    "Dizzybot"_Looping

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

    "Dystopic Technology"_Looping

    http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-2/

    I hope some of them are helpful!

  • Hi everyone,

    I've added about 100 new texture images. You'll find them on the following pages:

    TXR - BRICK - (some new seamless "fantasy" bricks)

    TXR - GROUND - (stones that could be used for riverbeds, railroad beds, etc.)

    TXR - METAL - (both standard and seamless)

    TXR - ROCK/STONE - (lots of cool rock textures, both standard and seamless...realistic as well as fantasy creations)

    TXR - VEGETATION - (some cool ground cover that has a surreal look)

    Enjoy!

    http://soundimage.org/

  • This week's new free images are on my TXR - WOOD page. At the top, I've added a bunch of smooth wood images that might come in handy for interiors. Some have dents and other signs of wear.

    If you scroll down (way down) to Seamless Textures, you'll find about 20 "fantasy wood" images...(I'm experimenting with creating different looks.)

    Anyhow, they all live here:

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

    I hope some of them are helpful!

  • Well, it was another busy week, but I guess that's a good thing...keeping busy keeps me out of trouble...usually... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="Wink"> Anyhow, I managed to get these done:

    "RIVER IN TROUBLE"_Looping – Thinking about the Colorado River in the American south west.

    "ALASKAN MOONRISE"_Looping – Could work in a nature documentary or perhaps something else.

    "FLURRIES"_Looping – That chill in the air tells you the first snow fall of winter is on its way.

    http://soundimage.org/naturescience-2/

    "PELICAN BAY TIKI PARTY"_Looping – A fun tropical piece.

    http://soundimage.org/positive-upbeat/

    "SCULPTURE GARDEN"_Looping – A string piece with the suggestion of gently bubbling fountains. Might be nice for a classy outdoor event.

    http://soundimage.org/classical-sounding/

    I also created a new page of sky images...mostly taken around sunset...for anyone who's interested...(TXR - SKIES) I hope some of them are helpful. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":-)" title="Smile">

    Have a good week!

  • I want to send out a great big heartfelt thank you to everyone who has personally reached out to me about my film "Then Meditative Coast." I'm glad that you're enjoying it and hope that it helps to lower your blood pressure in these stressful times that we live in.
