Hello Patrons!
My friends at Forgotten Tales & Star Maps needed some audio for their maps, and so I helped. In return, they offered us part of their work.
As explained the last time : it's EXTRA CONTENT. It doesn't lower the quantity of audio I'm releasing. It's just bonus.

Hello Patrons!
Here's a new piece of music for you !
The snippet I shared the other day has been reworked and split in two different pieces. This is the second piece. The first part isn't finished yet, but since they don't have to be played one after the other, I thought it wasn't necessary to finish the first one before that one.
I attached the song in three different formats, so you can chose the one you prefer.
The part 1 will be ready in a few days. It's a heavily ...

Just a short message to inform you that the rest of the month's content will be shared next week. I've spent the past two weeks working on two orchestral songs (I split the song I shared the other day in two, because the themes work better as two different pieces).
Normally I divide the content all over the month, but composing music takes about 20 hours of work for a single minute of music, and I composed many minutes these past weeks :D

Here is the first Transportation pack, featuring four ambiences :
1) Propelled Hot Air Balloon (Modern or Steampunk)
2) Submarine (Distress)
3) Transport Helicopter
4) Sci-Fi Helicopter
I'll certainly make another one some day, hence the number.
Next week I'll make a big Fantasy ambiences pack, probably in a "icy" setting, for a collaboration with a mapmaker I already worked with. It'll contain some...

Hello Patrons!
My friends at Forgotten Tales needed some audio for one of their maps, and so I helped them how I could. In return, they offered us part of their work.
It seems like we'll do that kind of trade regularly, so expect free map packs from times to times from them. They probably won't contain any audio, but DON'T WORRY, it's EXTRA CONTENT (it doesn't lower the quantity o...
2021-04-06 19:11:44 +0000 UTC View PostHello patrons,
Very important question : It's regarding which format you want the audio in.
Since the beginning, I've been providing the audio in .mp3, and sometimes .wav for the music (not the ambiences). I think it's time to address that topic properly, and our good ol' democracy might be the solution.
I take the risk to skew the poll (democracy didn't last long) by saying I prefer .ogg and by a lot. Why ?
Greetings patrons!
I was working on the yearly April Fools joke for YouTube, as I do every year, when I thought about turning it into actual content.
So here's a modern ambience, a cargo ship (inside the hull perspective). I did a dark/haunted version that may be super useful for those who run Cthulhu/horror campaigns. Actually, the last week I was playing a TTRPG called "Within" at a friend's house (he was the D...

I've been working hard on a new song this past week and I thought you'd enjoy hearing what's in the works. It's definitely not finished, I'd like to make it longer and add many instruments.
The placeholder name is "university of magic", it's meant to describe a place both mysterious and dangerous, but also full of interesting secrets and unique people. Harmonically, it's a really complexe piece that requires me to spend a lot of time actually ...

Hello adventurers!
Today I'm sharing a collaboration I made with the The Mad Cartographer. He made a wonderful map based on the use of mirrors, as you can see! Definitely a good dungeon for a riddle or a puzzle of some sort! The art is awesome, I personally love the colors (and I generally love anything in the desert theme).
As for the audio, today is a special day. It's the first releas...

Hello everyone,
We prepared a directory structure for our releases. It makes organizing everything much simpler.
Simply export the content of the .zip in the same folder. It should create a "MGS Audio" folder, or merge everything automatically if it's already present.
If the program asks if you want to overwrite any file, say yes. It should only overwrite the general notice and the directory structure help pdf.

2021-03-23 17:59:26 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings Patrons,
I was working on a new collaboration with a mapmaker, when suddenly I thought about exporting sound effects (think : a door opening, a laser rifle shot, a trap trigger, etc.)
Until now, I was kind of against that idea, as my ambiences to-do list is already GIGANTIC and I feared to clutter it even more with specific SFX. However, I thought that instead of focusing on them when I work on a new pack, I could simply be opportunistic. What does that mean ?
When...

Greetings Patrons,
I'm back behind my piano, finally. I found the inspiration and motivation to work on a new song. This one isn't meant to fit in a RPG setting, but I suppose it could work as the feel is the same for the whole duration.
I attached the song in four different formats! Obviously it's the same song, just in different sizes/qualities. I recommend .ogg or .flac.
Motivation for music fell for a time. I didn't compose a song for several months, as ...

Greetings Patrons,
I composed several variant ambiences of tracks I've been working on, but not enough to release them as a theme pack. Instead of spamming you with posts of one single variant ambience, I preferred to make that post.
This mix is very diverse, I'll let you check them. There are two additional "Abandoned Mansion" ambience that a Patron asked me to create, so it expands an already existing theme.
I'll very probably release a sci-fi pack in a few days. These day...

An unexpected collaboration with Mik & Wewa, here for you! They asked me if I had an ambience that would fit for a fantasy city church. I already composed something similar several months ago and it would have been meaningless to compose a variant just to call it new, so I gave them this ambience, which is part of my sixth album.
As a counterpart, they allowed me to distribute one of their m...

Just a short message to keep you updated of what's planned these days and what I've been working on lately.

Greetings !
The month starts very well for you, with a huge pack of seven ambiences. This theme idea was a commission by a client, who needed an ambience to go with my "Baroque Nobles Party" ambience (publicly available, and part of album 3 if I remember well).
I liked his idea. I asked him if I could share the commission afterwards with the patrons, and he said of course. Because of that, instead of receiving 1 ambience, he received 7.
Obviously, he was very 2021-03-01 17:11:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello everyone!
Today I collaborated with James' RPG Art to bring a scene alive. It's a scene of a summoning circle. He offered me to work on this idea, so I created four different ambiences to go with his animated picture.
James draws illustrations and animates them afterwards. It's definitely original and helps a lot to set the scene.
Stay tuned for more content (*very*) soon :)

A client recently commissioned an "Acid planet" ambience for an upcoming AA Sci-fi exploration game. I asked them if it was fine if I could distribute it to my patrons and they said yes, so I made 5 other variant versions for you.
I created more Sci-Fi alternatives since you asked for them, but some should be compatible with any fantasy context anyway. No one is forgotten :P
More to come next week (or sooner)!

Looking forward to see your ideas!

With the great Miska, we worked together on a Sci-Fi project. The idea was to create an alien "Bioship". This pack features many variants of that two-level ship, as well as four ambiences.
It's always complexe to create Sci-Fi content, because it's like creating the sounds of things that don't yet exist, we fall easily into clichés (I do hope we won't find derelict bioships anytime soon thou...
