    Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Game Development

    After a hectic 5 weeks, my schedule’s finally opened up a bit. If anyone needs custom music created, this would be a good time to do it. Just send me an email. My address is here: https://soundimage.org/custom-work/ In the meantime, I managed to get a couple of cool new tracks done for everyone over the weekend…free to use, as always, with attribution. They are: On my new Action 4 page: SPIES – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/action-4/ On my Fantasy 10 page: A MEADOW OF MYSTERIES https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/ Don’t forget my premium Ogg tracks…they’re another cool way to support my work. Enjoy…and please stay safe.

    Hi everyone, If you possibly can, please consider making a small donation on my website to support my work. Your contributions help me to pay for the keyboard synthesizers I use to create free music for the creative community. That said, this week’s new free music tracks are: On my Epic / Battle page: PIRATES! – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/epic-battle/ On my Puzzle Music 5 page: MAGICAL MINNIE PUZZLES – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/puzzle-music-5/ And on my Sci-Fi 9 page: AUTOMATED CREATION – (Looping) https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-9/ Enjoy…and keep being creative.

    Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Game Development

    Another Special Request to Everyone: If you possibly can, please consider making a small donation on my website to support my work. The synthesizers I use to create free music for everyone are very expensive (2 Korgs and a Yamaha.) I actually have to make monthly payments on them and donations from the creative community really help me a LOT to pay for them. Thanks in advance. :-) That said, I managed to get a couple of new tracks done for everyone. Free to use, as always, with attribution: On My Epic / Battle page: “COMRADES ALWAYS” (Looping) https://soundimage.org/epic-battle/ On my Fantasy 10 page: “OF KNIGHTS AND KINGS” (Looping) https://soundimage.org/fantasy-10/ Please stay safe and healthy.

  13. Dune's Island - A Free Video Learning Series

    Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Idle Banter

    No problem...I hope it's helpful! :-) Hi everyone, 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! https://www.dunesisland.org/

  17. Dune's Island - A Free Video Learning Series

    Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Idle Banter

    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 Please feel free to share it!

  19. Dune's Island - A Free Video Learning Series

    Eric Matyas replied to Eric Matyas's topic in Idle Banter

    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. https://www.dunesisland.org/episodes Enjoy…and please feel free to share with anyone who might find it useful. Stay safe and healthy.

    I hope everyone is safe and healthy. If you have kids (or know someone who does) here's a brand new free resource that I hope is helpful. It's a website for my video learning series, “Dune’s Island.” Within it you can freely access all the episodes, support documentaries and tie-in curriculum (like vocabulary, math problems, writing prompts and more.) In the coming weeks I’ll be expanding the site with all kinds of cool activities and more documentaries so please be sure to bookmark it. In the meantime, any and all feedback is welcome and very much appreciated. Enjoy and stay safe. https://www.dunesisland.org/ P.S. Please feel free to share it on social media. Thanks!
