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! Eric

Here are this week's new free tracks: On my Quiet 2 Page, we have: "Desert After Rain"_Looping "Vast Places"_Looping "Autumn Leaves"_Looping On my Upbeat Page, we have: "Calmer Times"_Looping And on my Sci-Fi 5 page, we have: "More Introspective Machines"_Looping Enjoy! http://soundimage.org/

You're very welcome! 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... ;-) 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. :-) Have a good week!

Hey Everyone, I had a busy week shooting images, but I did manage to get some new tracks done: "STRANGE NATURE"_Looping – Bizarre creatures are everywhere…if you look. http://soundimage.org/naturescience/ "HYPNOTIC ORIENT"_Looping – I’d love to hear this in a travel video. "EXOTIC DREAMING"_Looping – of faraway places. (I've been doing a lot of that lately.) "EXOTIC CRUISING"_Looping – might be nice in a travel or vacation video. (Anyone want to treat me to a cruise? Haha.) http://soundimage.org/events/ Awe, come on...I could really use a cruise! ;-)

Thanks so much...I really appreciate it! A whole bunch of new seamless texture images are ready for everyone on the following pages: TXR - Brick TXR - Concrete/Pavement TXR - Foliage TXR - Ground TXR - Stone TXR - Wood Feel free to generate maps from them (displacement, specular, etc) as needed. If you need me to create them custom for you, drop me an email...(my email address is at the bottom of my homepage.) I hope some of them are helpful! Eric http://soundimage.org/

Hi everyone, I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to freely 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 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. Please feel free to share the film with anyone who might find it helpful. In that spirit, here are this week's new free tracks: "Still of Morning"_Looping "Thumbing Across Alaska"_Looping http://soundimage.org/quiet-peaceful-mellow/ "Serenity in the Sky"_Looping "Tranquility at 30,000 Feet"_Looping "Where the River Begins"_Looping http://soundimage.org/quiet-2/ Have a good week, Eric

If anyone happens to feel the need to decompress from the stress of modern life (like me) I've created a little video called "The Meditative Coast" that should hopefully help a little bit. It's on my new "Virtual Cinema" page...give it a try. In the meantime, I've got more free looping tracks ready on my fantasy pages. They are: "Quirky Dreamscape"_Looping http://soundimage.org/fantasy-4/ "Digital Downtown"_Looping "Backstory"_Looping http://soundimage.org/fantasy-5/ "Awkward Princess's Day Out"_Looping "Once Around the Kingdom"_Looping "Some Faraway Place"_Looping "The Princess Haunted"_Looping http://soundimage.org/fantasy-6/ I hope some of them are helpful!

Happy New Year Everyone! I've begun to create a library of texture images that you are welcome to use in your projects. There are seamless ones for tiling as well as standard ones.

Hi everyone, I've been receiving an increasing number of emails asking if I do custom tracks. The answer is yes...and at very low cost...(people are usually surprised when they find out how affordable it is.)
