Greetings Earth People,

This week’s new music tracks are:

On my Sci-Fi 7 page:

"INVASION!" – They’re heading this way! Run for your life! Aliens? Zombies? Slimy monsters? Something else entirely?

https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-7/

On my Funny 6 page:

“PARTY GHOULS” - Rockin’ it in their haunted party mansion. This track might be fun in a goofy Halloween-themed game or something like that.

https://soundimage.org/funny-6/

And two tracks on my Positive / Upbeat page:

"OF SUMMERS GONE BY" – Here’s a high energy 80’s-style piece with a sweet, slightly magical feel that might sound nice in a game, video or perhaps something else.

CAREFREE DAYS AT PELICAN SHORES – Carefree and creative…bouncing around town without a worry in the world. Wouldn’t that be great?

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

All are free to use, as always, with attribution.

If anyone has kids or younger siblings, I've created a fun environmental learning series that (I hope) will engage them through stories and characters. The organization I made it for uses the films all the time, and I'm sharing them with the rest of the world. Please feel free to check them out and share with friends, parents, teachers or anyone else who might find them helpful.

Keep being creative and have a good weekend!

I can’t believe March is almost over…wow.  Anyhow, here are this week’s new free tracks:

On my Action page:
“Frantic Gameplay” (improved looping point)
https://soundimage.org/action/

On my Chiptunes 3 page:
“The Pixeltown Police”
https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-3/

On my Positive / Upbeat page:
“Innocent Years”
https://soundimage.org/positive-upbeat/

And on my Sci-Fi 7 page:
“Robot Evolution”
https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-7/

Have a good week!

Another super busy week…ugh…but I did manage to get a couple of new tracks done. Free as always to use with attribution:

On my Horror/Surreal page, we have:

CREEPY ACTION – (Looping) – This track might sound cool in a quick moving horror game…or perhaps something else that combines action with creepiness. It came out pretty well…if you need something like this, give it a try.
https://soundimage.org/horrorsurreal/


On my Puzzle Music 4 page:

CRYSTAL PUZZLES – (Looping) – This track might sound nice in, well, a puzzle game involving crystals….or perhaps other shimmering objects, light rays, etc. It has a techno feel to it as well. Should sound pretty cool under sound fx.
https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4/

Btw, if anyone happens to have kids (or know someone who does) I’ve created a learning series that teaches them environmental stewardship in a fun way through stories and characters. It was my first try at making films with a DSLR…(they can be very challenging to work with in the field)…but I think they came out pretty well. The organization I made them for was very happy with them and uses the films all the time…hopefully others can benefit from them as well. Please feel free to share with teachers, family, friends or anyone you know who might find them useful.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
I've decided to make all of the music on my site free for commercial use as well as noncommercial. Just please credit me properly as detailed on my homepage.
If you decide to use one or more of my pieces, a donation would be greatly appreciated...any amount you can swing would be helpful.
As always, thanks for your feedback and I hope you find something you can use.
Eric

Hi everyone,
I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to use in your projects. They might be useful under titles, for visual effects or anything else you can think of. They are all original...all my own work.  All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:
http://soundimage.org/
The images are on my "TXR" pages (for "Textures.")
I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated.  :-)
All the best,
Eric

I've uploaded a bunch of new texture images. They are on my TXR-WOOD page and at the bottom of my TXR-FABRIC page, under "General Textiles."
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/
http://soundimage.org/txr-fabric/
Have a good weekend!  :-)

I've uploaded a bunch of cool new metal, stone and bark texture images, both seamless and standard.
They are here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-bark/
I hope some of them are helpful.
Btw, my Soundimage Facebook page has been giving me trouble, so I've started a personal one:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100017638394276
Have a good week!  :-)

I've just uploaded over 100 new stone and metal texture images, standard and seamless, that I took at a couple of archaeological sites over the weekend. I think a lot of the stone textures could work well for VFX....(castles and other structures.)   
You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone/
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/

Have a good week!  :-)

Greetings!
I've uploaded about 100 new fabric texture images on my TXR - FABRIC page. They are all seamless, 2048X2048 and ready for tiling.
New fabric types include Leather, Rayon, Metal Linens, Dyed Acrylics and various weaves.
They might be useful for clothes for characters, furniture coverings, carpets, or anything else you can think of.
You'll find them here:
http://soundimage.org/txr-fabric/
I hope some of them are useful!   :-)

I've uploaded a bunch of new texture images, both seamless and standard, on the following pages:
TXR - Brick
http://soundimage.org/txr-brick/
TXR - Metal
http://soundimage.org/txr-metal/
TXR - Wood
http://soundimage.org/txr-wood/

If anyone happens to need a couple of distressed wooden door images, they are on my TXR - WOOD page as well. I think they look really cool. As always, feel free to edit as needed.
Btw, fur images on on their way...stay tuned!  :-)

I've opened a fur textures page and uploaded about 70 images, both seamless and standard, to get it started. Some of them might be useful for other things, like carpets, rugs, etc. Some also have funky weaves so I included them for fun.
You'll find them here:

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.

(Scroll down...they live toward the bottom of the page.)
More are on the way.  :-)

Hey Jon,
For non-looping tracks, what I'd suggest you do is choose 2 tracks and cross fade from one to the other. For looping tracks, simply put them end to end, but make sure there is no gap between them. I hope that helps. Feel free to email me anytime if you need more help. :-)
In the meantime...
I just opened a new sound effects page:
http://soundimage.org/sfx-household/
Also, if anyone is into game development (or knows someone who is) I've also opened a chiptunes page and uploaded a bunch of tracks to get it started.
http://soundimage.org/chiptunes/
Have a great week!
