Hi Everyone,

This week’s brand new MP3 music tracks are:

On my Fantasy 11 page:

THE LOST ISLAND OF JEWELS – (Looping)

https://soundimage.org/fantasy-11/

On my Horror 2 page:

CASTLE OF HORRORS – (Looping)

https://soundimage.org/horror-2/

And on my Positive / Upbeat page:

NEWS

Here’s some cool news:

Free looping video clips are on the way that you’ll be able to use in games, for website backgrounds, Zoom backgrounds and all kinds of other things.

Here’s an example of how I used one as a background for my other website:

https://www.dunesisland.org/episodes

I think it really brings the page to life in a way that static images just can’t.

Anyhow, I’ll be opening those pages soon. Stay tuned.

More Ogg Music Packs are ready!

A good number of game developers have asked me if they can download multiple music tracks all at once instead of one at a time, so I’m making Ogg music packs available that include all of the tracks for any given page once that page is full and I’m no longer adding any more tracks to it.

You’ll see a button near the top of the page if a music pack is available.

Presently, music packs are available for the following pages:

Action 1 Chiptunes 1-3 Fantasy 1-10 Dark/Ominous Horror / Surreal Looping Music Puzzle Music 1-5 Sci-Fi / Space

Happy New Year, fellow creatives!

Did everybody drink too much? I certainly hope so! ;-)

Seriously, though, 2020 was pretty rough…I really hope 2021 is better.

Anyhow, here are some brand new MP3 music tracks to kick off the New Year. 100% free to use with attribution:

GOINGS-ON IN PIXEL TOWN (standard and looping) THE 8-BIT MARCH (standard and looping) WINDLE PIXEL’S 8-BIT CIRCUS (standard and looping)

NEWS

Continuing my quest to provide Ogg versions of all my music tracks, I just added my history music page to the list.

https://soundimage.org/ancient/

If you aren't familiar with the Ogg format, it has several advantages over MP3 audio:

-Ogg tracks sound fantastic…almost as good as the original WAV recordings from which they are derived…plus they are much smaller in terms of file size.

-Game engines handle looping Ogg tracks better…MP3 tracks occasionally have to be edited at the looping point.

Give them a try!

Have a good week and please stay safe.

@EricMatyas Seems like you've put together an awesome resource! I have so many questions, firstly I just want to know... how do you know ... if you were making a game or something... which songs are "good"? Personally I have very poor taste in artistic things and rarely listen to music.

So how do you know if a track is "good"? Do you keep track of which tracks have been downloaded the most? Is it just a feeling you get when you listen to your work? Or would you base it off of how much time the song has been played total?

@cybereality said: Very cool. Thanks for sharing @EricMatyas

You're very welcome! :-)

I don't think it's a matter of whether a piece of music is "good" or not, but more a matter of whether or not it "works" in the game (or film...or whatever it's being used for.) And the only way to know that is to try the music in the game during development (or in the film while editing) to find out.

As for whether or not I think a track is "good" while creating it: If I happen to like it or think it sounds kind of cool, I'll post it on my site. :-)

Hi Eric, thanks for your effort and generosity in creating and sharing such a huge library!

Would you mind clarifying how the "premium" ogg tracks are licensed? If I purchase an ogg track, can I include it in a free/open-source game (assuming you are attributed, of course). Thanks!

You're very welcome! The licensing for my Ogg tracks is exactly the same as for my free MP3 versions. As long as I'm attributed, then everything is good. If you can't (or wish not to) attribute me, I also offer non-attribution licenses. Here's a link:
