Free Original Video Footage and Zoom Backgrounds
I’ve begun building a new library of free video clips that might be helpful for films as well as looping shots that might work as website backgrounds, Zoom backgrounds, for video games or anything else you can think of:
https://soundimage.org/free-video-footage/
You can download the shots in different resolutions, too, to best suit your needs.
As I build this library, please feel free to share suggestions for the types of shots that would be helpful to you.
In the meantime, if you find my free assets helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts.
Stay safe and be well. -

Hi everyone,
For this week, I’ve created some cool creepy music tracks that might be helpful. Free to use with attribution:
On my Fantasy 11 page:
“SCARY THINGS AHEAD”
“SCARY THINGS AHEAD 2”
https://soundimage.org/fantasy-11/
On my Horror 2 page:
“SURREALIZATION”
https://soundimage.org/horror-2/
And a wild chiptunes-style track on my Chiptunes 4 page:
“WILD RIDE THROUGH TOKYO” – (Looping)
https://soundimage.org/chiptunes-4/
NEWS
It’s great to see that people are beginning to download my Ogg music packs…I’m so glad they’re helpful! Personally, I think they’re a really good value…you get all of the Ogg tracks from any given page on my site (usually around 20) for the same price as purchasing 3 tracks individually. They're a great way to support my work...check them out!
The MP3 versions, as always, are completely free.
Speaking of which, if you find my free music to be helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts.
Keep safe and stay healthy. -

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)

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. -
Greetings everyone,

If you find my work helpful, please consider making a small donation on my site through PayPal to help support it. I don’t allow advertising on the site because I feel it would be distracting to my visitors so I pay for everything myself. Also, the keyboards I use to create free music for everyone are very expensive…I actually make monthly payments for them…so donations from the community help me to pay for them as well. Thanks for helping out. -

Here's Episode 1 of my free learning series. Mr. Binnacle sends Dune and friends to the inlet to try to spot Buster, an endangered sea turtle whose tracking device is faltering. For ages 7-12. Please share with family, friends and teachers! :-) https://www.dunesisland.org/
-
If you've been following my music sharing thread over the years, you know that I'm not one to toot my own whistle, but I've been getting some very positive feedback about "Dune's Island" from parents and teachers so I included a "Praise for Dune's Island" page on the site.
Given the current environmental situation, I believe that this is a very important project. Getting the word out about it is a massive challenge, though...especially since it has no advertising budget. If you think "Dune's Island" might be helpful to someone you know, please share it with them. Thanks in advance!

I had always intended "Dune's Island" to be an immersive learning world. The idea was to produce films that teachers and home educators could actually pull lessons from to share with their students. After completing the episodes, a team of science teachers went through the films and created curriculum for grades K-5 that ties into the episodes.
Here's a link to it: https://www.dunesisland.org/curriculum

If anyone happens to wonder what I get up to when I’m not creating music for everyone, I write and direct films that hopefully help kids (and grownups) learn important things.
Here’s a link to the page on my new site where you can freely access all of the “Dune’s Island” episodes. I’ve enabled the download function on Vimeo so you don’t even have to be online to share it with your kiddos.

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:
