I wanted to write a little note about what happens when we remove a track, or several tracks, from our catalog of royalty-free music and why this is sometimes done. We like to try to keep our catalog fresh and current. When we started Shockwave-Sound.com back in March of 2000, there were some stock music […]

GoDigital Media Group music ownership claims
Last fall around October/November, we here at Shockwave-Sound.com started to receive emails from worried customers who had licensed music from our site, used the music in YouTube videos, and received notifications from YouTube stating that the music “contains music owned by GoDigital Media Group”. We were unprepared for this and very much puzzled, because this […]
Shockwave-Sound.com goes High Definition for stock music
It’s not 1985 any more. It has actually been around 30 years since the Compact Disc came on the market, we all went out and bought Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms” on CD and were amazed at the crystal clarity of the sound. And with the invention of the CD came the digital audio standard: […]

New tracks from Dan Phillipson

Hailing from the outskirts of Manchester, England, Dan is a popular producer whose music is some of the best […]
Back to nature — Ellett & Montgomery touch wood
We’ve just added a whole new collection of royalty free tunes by Gayle Ellett and Todd Montgomery, so it seemed like a good time for us to conduct an interview with this rather special musical duo. Through their “Fernwood” music project, Todd & Gayle writes and plays instrumental music 100% by hand – exclusively on […]
Interview with Jeremy Sherman
Jeremy Sherman was one of the first composers who joined up with the Shockwave-Sound.com team back in 2001 or so. We immediately took to his music because it was so acoustic, so natural, so real. In the world of online stock music, there is a lot of electronic and loop based music, but Jeremy’s music […]

Based in Pasadena, California, and credited by the American Camp Association, Camp Laurel helps children, youths and their families living with HIV/AIDS. They arrange summer- and winter camps, education and various forms […]
