Happy February Everyone, This week I have a cool new sci-fi track, some quirky chiptunes tracks and a nice fantasy track. All are free to use with attribution: On my Sci-Fi 10 page: “CYBERPUNK CITY GAME MENU” – (Looping) – Kind of a dreamy/techno/slightly ominous feel. https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-10/ On my Chiptunes 4 page: “INKY AND BLINKY’S R&B BAND” – (Looping) “INKY AND BLINKY’S R&B BAND_V001” – (Standard and Looping) You didn’t know that they’re famous R&B musicians? How do you think they keep themselves occupied when nobody’s playing PacMan? https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-4/ And on my Fantasy 1 page: “IMAGINARY PLACES” – (Looping) – Perhaps for the intro to a fantasy game? https://soundimage.org/fantasy-11/ THIS WEEK’S NEWS Free Original Video Footage and Zoom Backgrounds I’ve begun building a new library of free video clips that might be useful for website backgrounds, Zoom backgrounds, films, games or anything else you can think of: https://soundimage.org/free-video-footage/ As I build this library, please feel free to share suggestions for the types of backgrounds that might be helpful to you.

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) https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-4/ 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! In the meantime, if you find my free MP3 tracks helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts. Have a good week and please stay safe. -

NEWS For those of you using my music tracks, my History page now has Ogg versions of my tracks on it. Ogg tracks have several advantages over MP3 tracks: -They loop better in game engines (MP3 tracks sometimes need to be edited.) -They sound amazing…almost as good as the original WAV tracks while being much smaller in size. -They are a cool way to support my efforts.
