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, Things have finally calmed down a bit...pfew! ...In that spirit here's: "Gulf Breeze"_Looping http://soundimage.org/positive-upbeat/ The rest of this week's new free tracks are from my Technology Page...I think some of them might work in sci-fi themed projects. They are: "Intriguing Future"_Looping "Future Business"_Looping "Future Grid"_Looping "Switch On"_Looping http://soundimage.org/techno/ Enjoy your week! :-)

It's been a very hectic week, but I did manage to upload some new tracks: "The Old Parolee"_Looping "Autumn of Life"_Looping "Drama in the Caribbean"_Looping http://soundimage.org/drama-2/ I hope everyone's having a calmer, less stressful week than I am. :-)

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, Here are this week's new free tracks: "Strange Zone"_Looping http://soundimage.org/horrorsurreal/ "Alien Vistas"_Looping http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-5/ "Murder in the Outer Colonies"_Looping "Faltering Circuits"_Looping http://soundimage.org/sci-fi-4/ And don't forget to check out my new Chiptunes page if you haven't already. :-) http://soundimage.org/chiptunes/ Have a great week!

Hey everyone, I just opened a new sound effects page: http://soundimage.org/sfx-household/ Also, if anyone is into video 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!

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. : Eric

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.) One of my goals with this project is to make good-sounding music available to anyone who needs it, so if you need some custom tracks created, feel free to email me...(my email address is at the bottom of my homepage.) In the meantime, here are this week's new free tracks: "Deep Space"_Looping http://soundimage.org/naturescience-2/ "Post Op"_Looping "The Streets"_Looping "Going Different Ways"_Looping "Packing"_Looping "Alone Again"_Looping http://soundimage.org/drama/ "Confusion and Clarity"_Looping http://soundimage.org/drama-2/ I hope they are helpful! :-) Eric
