Free Production Music for Videos and Websites
Shockwave Sound Review and Recommendation
I get many requests for music styles that I often can not accommodate so occasionally I like to recommend other royalty free music sites.
Allot of people want royalty free music that doesn’t sound like stock “library” music – but more like music from real artists and composers. That is one of the reasons I like Shockwave Sound since they work with really talented performers.
Also, I know from running my site that many people have trouble with downloading files and Shockwave Sound offers delivery on CDROM as an option. They also have entire discounted collections on CD.
One of the best features the site offers is that they do not enter their music into the YouTube content id system. They have a complete page on their YouTube policy you can view here.
Shockwave adds new music very regularly and they also have sound effects. The site is known for classical music if you are looking for that in particular. If you are a high-end user they even have wav versions of the files you can purchase.
So if you can’t find what you need here on DanoSongs.com check out Shockwave Sound : )

Ambient Jazz House Background Music | Little Island
Cíes Islands in Galicia (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Hi, here is a track called Little Island in an interesting style that was new to me – jazz house or “nu jazz” music.
This one starts out with very light and relaxing keys and jazz guitar- almost ambient. Then it gets going after about one minute with some electric guitar comping and house beats.
“Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.” - Isaac Bashevis Singer

Royalty Free Hard Rock 150 bpm! Megacosm
Wide-lightening (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Megacosm is an insane hard rock track at 150 beats per minute. However, it is unique because of the heavy quirky electronic drum and bass beats – and overlaying ambient space sounds. You’ll also hear plenty of distorted guitar and bass with effects. I had allot of fun with this one.
As a side note, I was brainstorming titles for this track and I came upon an intriguing quote from someone named Eden Ahbez.
I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain and wind, of the galaxies.
- Eden Ahbez
It turns out Eden Ahbez wrote the jazz standard “Nature Boy” and it one of my favorite songs. Nature Boy was made famous by Nat King Cole. It was also recorded by David Bowie for the movie Moulin Rouge! See videos of every cover of “Nature Boy” here.
If you read about Ahbez here at Wikipedia you will see that he claimed to live on $3 a week, only ate raw fruits and vegetable and camped out under the L in the Hollywood sign. Wow. I never buy actual CDS any more, but I immediately bought his only album “Eden’s Island”.
Anyway, back to Megacosm which is a world away from that story…

Hello, I’ve been working on this stock world music piece for a while and I call it “On Air and Dew”.

Royalty Free Music for Games Music | 8 bit Chiptunes Style | Realm of Zeltroz
Image via Wikipedia
Hi, this week I was inspired by the classic chiptunes style of game music to create a mix called Realm of Zeltroz for indie game developers. So I came up with my own spin on the genre and added some beats behind 8 bit sounds.
You can use this as a soundtrack for your mobile iphone/android or ipad app, flash or other online video game. Most developers just credit me as composer under the about or credits section on the opening screen.
You can stream the track to listen and then download this MP3 for free to try out in your game. You only need to credit or donate when you publish your project.
It is fine if you edit this track to loop in the background. You can use Audacity to do that. If you donate $10 I can make it loop for the amount of time you need.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words. – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Ambient Classical Guitar | Meditation Relaxation | Unde Altus
Carl Sagan - Image via Wikipedia
My classical guitar song “En La Brisa” seems to be useful to allot of people. So I decided to create another, but with a more ethereal dramatic sound that could be used under dialog in a soundtrack. This works out since I am working on the score for my short sci fi film.
It turns out that this track, which uses some vast ambient sounds, its really relaxing and meditative. So folks could also just download the mp3, sit back and listen : )
You can of course use this as royalty free music for YouTube videos, subliminal affirmation CDs, films, or as website background music. Its free to use if you credit me and $10 if you don’t. Of course donations are always welcome.

Ambient Dub: Joy in Land Formation + Parallel Universes – Are They Real?
Image via Wikipedia
Im exploring a new style this week called ambient dub. This track is called “Joy in Land Formation”.
I also discovered a new cable tv channel called “Sci” which was hidden all the way up in the hundreds. There are tons of amazing shows and is now my second tv spot after SyFy!
Plus, I watched this totally mind blowing show (video trailer above) “Morgan Freeman hosts this journey through quantum physics as Curiosity answers the question, Parallel Universes – Are They Real?”
Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.
– Albert Einstein
