Hi there! I’ve put together a small showcase featuring some of the most cinematic audio tracks I’ve mixed. I hope you find them inspiring—I’d be genuinely happy to see them used in your projects.

Cinematic mixes:

I’ve been curating and mixing tracks from OGA (OpenGameArt) for a while now, and I’ve created a collection of video previews organized by mood, instrumentation, cadence, and more.

All of the tracks are free to use, even for commercial projects. If you end up using any of them, I’d love to hear about it!

Uplifting, sci-fi, synthwave previews:

Thank you!

I’ve created two last collection of previews, I can not add it to the original post so I add it here in the reply:

Hi fosshub!

Thank you for your great songs!

To be able to use them in projects it would be nice to be able to download each individual song. For the links you provided I could only see the songs were compiled together into one long track. Having individual files makes it easier to pick the ones which fit into a certain project.

Another convenience feature I noticed was those links only provide download options for the video file. This can be another hindrance for using this music. (I was able tho to quickly download the file as MP3 via yt-dlp, but the first issue of having a monolithic track remains and I would need to slice this file now into individual songs).

Maybe I was missing something and there was another way to download those files somewhere (maybe after account creation for that website?), but then I must have missed it completely, and I just wanted to tell you about my experience!

Kind regards :four_leaf_clover:

Same question as @kraasch .

Specifically the first song in this playlist sounds really awesome, and potentially what I’m looking for to add to a game jam game I’m doing this week. But I could not find the individual track.

Thanks for the kind words—this applies equally to you and to dragonforge-dev.

Apologies for the inconvenience: I’ve just finished creating the preview videos and didn’t have time to add the hyperlinks to the descriptions yet. I plan to add chapters to the videos using a PeerTube feature that lets me divide the videos into chapters and include hyperlinks along with the exact start time for each track.

I’ll also add the corresponding links for each track in the video descriptions. Please be patient while I take care of this. In the meantime, you can find and download all the tracks here: glitchart | OpenGameArt.org and here: Funkwhale

Please also note that, likely due to the large number of recent submissions to OGA, the latest seven tracks are currently hidden (probably as an anti-spam measure). If you’d like access to the most recent tracks, please use the Funkwhale server instead.

  • Update on OGA submissions:
    Due to the high number of recent submissions to OGA, I’ve apparently been affected by their anti-spam measures. As a result, the Funkwhale server will have the most up-to-date tracks for a while. Please keep this in mind if you want to listen to the latest releases.

I hope this helps!

Wow—the background and nebulas are absolutely stunning. I didn’t expect this level of quality. I’m truly proud to contribute and be part of it. Thanks so much for sharing!

By the way I finished adding hyperlinks and chapters to the video previews, now it should be easier to find and download the tracks.

About My Audio Work & Donations

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something with you all. I’ve created and curated over 130 mixes so far, all of which are free to use—even for commercial projects. I’ve never started doing this for money; it’s simply a passion project for me, and I genuinely enjoy working on it.

That said, I’ve realized that in order to take these mixes to the next level, I need to invest in some new gear, like DJ controllers, which can be pretty expensive. While I’m not charging for anything, and I don’t need monetary compensation, if you’re in a position to help and want to support the project, donations are welcome!

The contributions will go toward improving the tools I use to create and perform the mixes, allowing me to continue providing high-quality tracks for everyone.

If you’d like to help, here’s my Zcash address and QR code:

However, please know that money is not the only way to support me! If you’re not in a position to help financially, I still encourage you to use the tracks. I really hope you find them useful, and I’d be thrilled to know they’re making a positive impact in your projects.

Thank you so much for your support! It really means a lot and would help make these projects even better.

I’d like to take a moment to highlight two Godot games that feature my audio mixes.

The first is Katamari Mech Spacey by dragonforge: Katamari Mech Spacey (カタマリメカ スペイシー) by Dragonforge Development

I’m really excited to follow its progress—the visuals are coming together beautifully, and the shaders in particular look stunning.

The second game is Froggy Guard, available here: FroggyGuard by Happyfacemike

Froggy Guard is an intense short experience where you must help protect Ralph the Frog as he navigates long-forgotten ruins.

I’m proud and excited to share these projects with you, and I hope you enjoy them. Hopefully, I’ll be able to add many more in the future!

For those of you who use my Funkwhale account to stream or download my mixes, I have some news.

I’ve been using a Funkwhale pod at https://audio.pepemoss.com for quite some time now. When I first started creating and uploading mixes, I didn’t anticipate how many I would eventually make or how much storage space they would require. At this point, I’ve uploaded 135 mixes, and I’m getting close to the storage limit of the free space provided (827.1 MB of 1.0 GB used).

While it’s not entirely clear when this will become an issue, it’s foreseeable that I’ll eventually reach the limit and won’t be able to upload new tracks. Because of this, I’ve started looking into possible alternatives. There are several factors to consider, such as the stability of the Funkwhale pod, latency, and available storage.

I’ve found a pod that could be a good candidate for hosting my music. I already have an account there, which you can find at: https:/open.audio/@glitchart

This is not official yet, and I don’t know when—or if—I’ll start mirroring my mixes there. If that happens, I’ll update the original descriptions on my pepemoss profile. The pepemoss instance will remain online, but it may stop featuring new mixes once I’m no longer able to upload more.

I hope this helps

I recently updated my music website!

Now you can filter and explore tracks by musician, features, style, and purpose — and even combine filters for a more precise search. Plus, each track now comes with a beautiful cover image, making browsing visually enjoyable.

I just want to say this is pretty great, but I also ran out of likes.

So, I’ll use the next best thing:

Music Navigation Site – Feature Summary

The site offers a full-featured, intuitive music experience:

  • Browse tracks with cover art, organized in albums with descriptions

  • Create playlists by dragging tracks into the built-in music player

  • Search, filter, and explore music easily

  • Use playlist presets to quickly load albums

  • NFC support: load albums on the go by saving preset:<album name> on a compatible NFC card

  • Local Playback Priority: If a track with the correct filename is stored inside the music/ folder, it will be played locally instead of loading from PeerTube. If no local file is found, the system automatically falls back to the online source.

  • Gamepad Support: Seamlessly navigate tracks using a gamepad. Whether you’re navigating on a console or PC—from your couch or at your desk—browse tracks effortlessly and easily open or close track popups.

  • Previously NFC funcionality was restricted to Android + Chrome. Now NFC works on desktops (tested on Debian / Ubuntu). You can make a jukebox to enjoy the track and trigger them with NFC cards, follow instructions on Python script to make that work.

Hi there! I’m just two mixes away from reaching 200 tracks on my Funkwhale pod. Feel free to check them out if you’re looking for music for your game — or just something to listen to in your free time. Funkwhale

Enjoy!
