[RESOURCE][AUDIO] Background Music Clips

[Ghosty]

This is a list I am compiling of free music clips to be used in 2DWorlds games. Authors whose works will likely be added are Joshua Flynn (raptor980 on SoundCloud), Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), ParagonX9 (on Newgrounds) and myself (Qwertygiy on SoundCloud).

All clips are between 30 and 100 seconds long, smaller than 1.5 MB, and are not fully loopable. However, many of them are looped internally. If you want a pure loop, you can download the free audio editing program Audacity, which I used to create these clips.

Note: Some sounds with intense drums or bass may sound slightly clipped or harsh; this is likely because of me saving them at 128 KB/S quality for minimum file size.

From Babylon, by Kevin MacLeod
Comment: These would be a good choice for an "unsatisfactory ending" screen, or a slow-paced level without much intensity.

From Chipper Doodle v2, by Kevin MacLeod
Comment: This is a bright, bouncy tune (though not too bouncy!) and is good for 'average' work -- nothing super intense like PvP or very relaxed like solo building, but anywhere in between.

From Cognitive Dissonance, by Kevin MacLeod
Comment: This is a synth piece that would be great for a boss battle, but is not over-the-top dramatic or intense.

From Dance Monster, by Kevin MacLeod
Comment: This song is part piano, part dance beat, part synth bass. Some segments are only one, some are a couple, some are all three.

From Chaoz Fantasy, by ParagonX9
Comment: There really are no words that can accurately describe this song. So, I'll list the instruments: drums that can be called 'average' only because they are neither inadequate nor over the top; a synth bass with excellent usage of modulation; some synth hit effects; a smooth synth lead in one portion; and a light piano lead in another.

From Chaoz Fantasy 8-Bit Remix, by ParagonX9
Comment: Same clips as above, plus one more that I wasn't able to loop satisfactorily in the original.

Heart of the Warrior, by raptor980
Comment: This is actually the full song, because it's so short and it's all one theme that melds together well and is not easily splittable. Could work for an introductory menu screen very nicely.

Added 7 new clips, from Chipper Doodle v2. Note that #6 and #7 are in a higher key than the first 5.

[Walrus]

Someone should make a YouTube video about 2DWorlds using this background music that you made, qwerty. http://ia600800.us.archive.org/23/items/...dle003.mp3

IT'D BE AWESOME

[Ghosty]

I'd like to point out that although I did create and upload the music clip, I did not write, record, or perform the song it is from. For that particular song, I am just the DJ, not the musician.

[Ghosty]

11 new clips added, from more Kevin MacLeod songs: Cognitive Dissonance and Dance Monster.

Kevin MacLeod

I love him! I was recommended from Nerd³.

[Ghosty]

He's got one of the biggest and best collections of royalty-free music on the Internet. Somewhere around at least 1 in any 5 Flash games has at least one song by him.

[Walrus]

I'm assuming that he has loads of money.

[Ghosty]

Going by his website, I doubt it. I'm sure he makes a decent living off of it, but I doubt he's got much more money than [insert the last person you heard on the radio here].

Added clips from Chaoz Fantasy and Chaoz Fantasy 8-Bit Remix by ParagonX9.
