Free Music / New Website

by Ray Gebhardt · 06/26/2007 (11:35 am) · 5 comments

I have been pretty busy working on a lot of different things. One of those things was the full redesign of my website. It took a whole day to create the site and get all of the content into it, but I think it was well worth it. A few things still need to be tweaked, and I have a ton of stuff I still want to put up there, but it's a lot better than my site was before. I also added Google ads to the page. I am usually against ads, but each click pays quite well. There are a few useful tools, a couple stupid little demos, a few of my references and lots of music on the site. If you want to check it out, it's at www.noolness.com.

And speaking of music, I have released three EP's on my website for anyone to listen to. The only restrictions are you can't use the music in any game, demo, product or make money off of the music in any shape or form (like selling it) without getting permission from me. But otherwise enjoy the music however you wish. You can get to the EP's at the following url's:

music mode enabled
This EP jumps around a bit style wise, but it's the most "traditional" sounding of the different EP's I have on my website. It has guitars, synthesizer, and even a bit of guitar synthesizer work using my Roland GI20 GK.
Listen to music mode enabled.

immutable
All of the songs on this EP are using unusual tunings. Most of them are TET-31 (which means you take an octave and divide it 31 equally separated notes).
Listen to immutable.

8x8
This EP was created using the QuadraSID VST plugin. The plugin emulates the sound of the SID chip that was inside the Commodore 64.
Listen to 8x8.

I am currently working on a music pack, and I have completed about seven songs so far. I am not sure what the current song count or pricing will be on the pack as of yet, but if you are interested in publishing it let me know. Also if you are interested in contracting me for any custom music for you game, contact me at ray@noolness.com.

What if, I think your music fits one of my games perfectly and i contact you telling you that I am using it for the game, of course nothing commercial or public at that point but can I use it for internal demos for our beta testers or do I need permission there, too? And if the game wants to be released, what would be the charge/percentage per song?

Yea, those are some good tracks (especially music mode enabled), definitely would be interested in a music pack if it is anything like what you have there.

@Kevin: If you wanted to use some of the music in a game, we could work out some kind of deal. I would definitely license tracks for use in demos or games, so just send me an email and we can work out the details. My email is ray@noolness.com.

@Matt: The seven songs I have completed for my music pack so far are probably a bit better quality and more commercial than the songs I have on my website. I would say most of them sound more like the style of a platformer (think mario or sonic) or possibly a puzzle game. The songs in the music pack are also designed so that they seamlessly loop. Depending on how well my first pack does, I will create more packs with different styles.
