Greetings Fellow Creative Souls,

"STRATOSPHERE" (Looping) is this week's new release in higher-quality Ogg format.

I originally created this track for people who make drone videos, but realized that it might sound really nice in open-world games, too.

You can listen to it here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Stratosphere_Looping.ogg

And freely download it here:
https://soundimage.org/aerial-drone/

Please be sure to check out my Ogg GAME MUSIC MEGA PACK which enables you to bulk-download all of my game music at once...a huge time-saver.

https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/

CUSTOM MUSIC

If you happen to need some custom music for your game or project, I'd love to help out! Feel free to contact me here:

As always, enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative!  :-)

"UNFORGIVING HIMALAYAS" (looping version) - is this week's free-to-use-with-attribution music track now in  Ogg format.

You can listen to it here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Unforgiving-Himalayas_Looping.ogg

And download it here:
https://soundimage.org/world/

The standard, non-looping version is in Mp3 format, so if you're a video content creator, this is the one you'll want to use. Same for all the tracks on my site.  :-)

Happy July Everyone,

Here's a fun track from my Jazz/Big Band page...now in higher-quality Ogg format:

"SLAPSTICK" (Looping)

Yo can listen to it here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Slapstick.ogg

There's also a LoFi version...you can listen to that one here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Slapstick_LoFi.ogg

LoFi tracks are useful if you need the music to sound like it's playing over an old transistor radio, tv, etc.

Both tracks can be downloaded here:
https://soundimage.org/jazz-big-band/

As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other music tracks and sounds.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT OGG TRACKS?

For those of you who don't know, Ogg tracks loop much better in game engines, as opposed to Mp3 tracks. Mp3 encoding will often discard music information at the end of a track. This creates an audible gap when the track reaches the end and loops to start over. Ogg encoding doesn't discard any information, hence no gap and perfect looping.

For tracks that don't need to loop, Mp3 works just fine, but definitely go with Ogg for looping.  Plus Ogg encoding is higher fidelity so Ogg music tracks sound richer and more full.

Anyhow, if you're interested in downloading all my game music tracks at once (instead of one track at a time from my website) my Ogg Game Music Mega Pack is a huge time-saver. Plus it's a cool way to support my efforts. Here's a link:

https://soundimage.gumroad.com/l/ylyre

There's even a preview video you can watch if you'd like...or maybe listen to while doing other things...(it runs about an hour.)

An of course, if you need some custom music created special for your project, just let me know. My contact information is here:

https://soundimage.org/custom-work/

Until then, enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative!  :-)

Quote from: Jubal on June 25, 2026, 06:29:43 PMYeah, absolutely fair :) I keep thinking of getting round to actually opening my own textures library, I do enough photography that I've got a lot to put in it, just working out what software to use and how to maintain it is enough of a barrier that I've never gotten round to it.

If you need help choosing software, feel free to DM me. :-)

Quote from: Jubal on May 04, 2026, 09:22:50 PMA couple of thoughts re the textures library: I was browsing it recently and there were a few potentially super useful things I didn't find that would be cool to have in there, so posting partly to see if I just missed them/didn't find the right category, but water surfaces and human hair and skin would all be great additions from a game dev perspective if you ever feel like finding some things to add :)

I've been so busy creating music for clients that I haven't had a chance to create new images. Thanks for the suggestions, though...much appreciated!  :-)

Greetings Creatives!

Here's a brand new looping track that might sound cool under the menus for a sci-fi game. Maybe something industrial that takes place in space:

As I continue my quest to make every looping track on my website available in higher-quality Ogg format (as opposed to Mp3) here's:

 "BALLOONS FOREVER"

You can listen to it here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Balloons-Forever.ogg

Maybe for a puzzle game? An open-world game? Or something else entirely?

Anyhow, you can freely download it here:

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

It's 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other tracks.

PREVIEW VIDEO of my OGG GAME MUSIC MEGA PACK -- Check it out!

https://youtu.be/W7yQVscjqUM?si=nOBpnHqnuC-kEiiK

This preview video contains a sampling of music tracks that you'll find in my Ogg Music Mega Pack. There are many more tracks in the pack...1460 and growing as I add new tracks all the time. Tracks are looping (for video games) and non-looping (for everything else.)

You can download the music pack here:
https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/

You'll get email updates as I add new tracks so you can download them to expand your library.

Enjoy, keep creating and feel free to tell me about your projects...I love to see how creative people are using my music!

This week's looping music track might sound really nice in an open-world game, a puzzle game (or something I haven't thought of.)

"OVER ANCIENT WATERS" (Looping)
You can listen to it here:
https://soundimage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Over-Ancient-Waters_Looping.ogg

I originally intended it for drone videos, but I think it could work really well in games, too.
