Best Year Ever (and it's Only October!)

Thanks for an awesome year (even before it's over!)

I hadn't been paying close attention to the numbers recently, so I thought I'd stop and have a look at how sales are doing for my stock music. Lo and behold, sales have already exceeded last year's former best ever with two-and-a-half months to spare. In prior years, I always had to wait until December to find out if the current year would be better than the last. Not this year.

Part of the growth this year is due to the fact that I established a presence on AudioJungle and I think I've done pretty well there for my first year. But I'm close to record levels at Pond5, too, and we still have the Christmas season coming. I also got an unexpected boost from MotionElements, and am very happy to be in all three marketplaces.

So let me once again thank anyone and everyone who has supported my work, whether by licensing my stock music, downloading or streaming Dream Catcher or tracks from Circadia. or just stopping by to check things out here or at the official site. I'm grateful for all the support.

Sold License for "Motivational String Orchestra"

I'm very grateful to the person who licensed "Motivational String Orchestra" at Pond5 earlier this week. This full string arrangement is a great choice for inspirational and uplifting presentations or other media projects.

Sold Last Weekend (April 16th-17th, 2016)

Audio buyers and/or their clients seem to be in a salty mood, judging by the titles from my catalog that sold over the last weekend. Not that I'm complaining, of course!  B~)

At Pond5:

Sense of Foreboding



Ambient Exotic



Ambient Shifting



At AudioJungle:

Dark Tragedy

If you happen to be the person who bought these tracks, or have bought others in the past, thanks from the bottom of my heart for choosing to use my work in your projects.

Turns of Fate

Sales took a sudden spike the last few days, and I'm certainly glad about that. Now all I have to do is find a way to promote and sell my music other than what I consider my "usual suspects."

Recent Sales Update: January 2014

Here are a couple of cuts that sold this month, and both are seasonally timely for the end of January.

"Romantic Encounter" is a slow, swaying track featuring piano and drenched in reverb for lots of ambiance. It's great for Valentine's Day projects, whether personal or commercial.

Add "Romantic Encounter" to your stock music library today, royalty-free.

I recently featured "Tropical Paradise" here. It has a great Caribbean vibe with steel drums and percussion for your spring break getaway video.

Thanks to everyone who supports my music, either by buying, getting the word out, or just stopping by!

Historic First

Yesterday marks the first time in my brief career as a stock music artist that I had three different titles sell on the same day. Two of my best sellers -- "Holiday Hustle Bustle" and "Ambient Shifting" -- and a newer track, "Sad Sparse Underscore" all registered sales yesterday on Pond5. Awesome!

I know I probably beat this next point to death, but I don't care. I am just so grateful to everyone who supports the music I'm doing whether by buying, referring, or just listening. Thanks everyone for your support and I hope to continue producing useful music for your libraries or special needs.

Recap of Recent Sales to September 25

Here's what producers are buying from my library this week.

More Sales This Week, and Updates

I had two more sales Tuesday and yesterday. One was the "Ambient Shifting" clip, the other was for the cute little "Retro Happy" clip. Thanks to everyone who supports my music through buying or listening.

On the updates front, I'm giving serious thought that it's time for me to take the next step and join a performance rights organization, or PRO. That way, if anyone uses my work in a broadcast production, I can receive royalties from the broadcast. I'm also giving some thought to reinvesting what I've made into software or sounds to expand or improve my capabilities. More on this stuff later.

New Sales Monday

Pond5 confirmed two new sales of clips on Monday. The two were the alternate version of "Ambient Ominous" and the original full version of "Sense of Foreboding." Someone may be planning a suspense-thriller, and I wish them success and thank them for their business. Of course, as always I'm very grateful to all who support my work, whether by buying it or just stopping by for a listen.
