EXTRA INFORMATION

This collection is basically my sketchbook. Some of these end up as full songs for other projects, but it's fun to share these songs with everyone!

Over 200 songs are included in this pack, the player above has a limited selection of songs to keep the download size low, it includes the most recent songs and some of my older favorites.

If you use any of these songs, please let me know! I'd love to see the game you made. Also, I maintain an itch collection featuring all the games where the music is used šŸ„°

It's not required, but if you'd like to credit me, please use the artist name "Abstraction" and link to either this page (https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle) or the Abstraction homepage (https://abstractionmusic.com/). Thank you!

While these songs are free to download, if you do plan on earning revenue off your game (either through ads, microtransactions, or direct sales), please consider contributing a few dollars to the project or subscribing to my Patreon to help support making even more music in the future!

Huge thanks to torcado and the amazing Scritch player for song playback so I can stop relying on Soundcloud's jank.

thanks for sharing an amazing collection of music! i used a track here in a previous jam a year ago and the collection left an impression on me so when i participated in another jam your music was the first thing that came to mind! we used one of the tracks from Sketchbook 2025 Q4 for our game jam submission: https://phiryon.itch.io/ball-x-chain-a-platformer

thanks again!

Hi there! I used one of your tracks in my game jam submission. It has such a cozy vibe and fits the game perfectly—thank you for your amazing work!

You can check it out here~ I also added some custom post-processing to your music for a few sound effects, and it really brought the game to life. Thanks again for the great music!

(1 edit)

Hey! Just wanted to tell you I've used some of your songs for my submission to a game jam, if you'd like to check it out, click here! (You're of course properly credited in the actual game page, hope that's acceptable!)

This was a real life saver for me hahaha, thanks for sharing your cool work with everyone.

I'm glad the music helped out! Any credit is appreciated but not necessary so you're all good :)

(1 edit)

I'm using 5 of those loops in my game jam game, it is crazy how good those loops are, thank you so much for making them and making them available to us. ā™„

If you are interested in checking it out: https://helwy.itch.io/world-spinning-championship

Having grown up with the Commodore 64 and the like, I felt right at home with the art style. The passages you retype are grim, but honestly it is a very compelling way of education on these horrors considering that you need to *very* consciously read the passages in order to retype them.

Thank you for your feedback ā™„ Happy you enjoyed the art style, I always feel like more games need to be made in that style because it is beautiful.. and I admit the content is very grim, but these are topics that I have a feeling that more and more people don't know about now, and they should get an idea about it, and hopefully the game convinces them to read more about it.

(+1)

Absolutely! Hopefully more people get a chance to play it :)

(+1)

Thanks a lot for these songs! They really helped bring my game to life. I’ll definitely be using more of your music in future projects. Here’s the game if you'd like to check it out: https://siguy1255.itch.io/highway-havoc

(+1)

I ended up with a score of 39 :)  I'm glad the songs helped out. Looking forward to seeing what else you make in the future!

I just finished my submission for the Juniper Dev Game Jam. The vibe of this game is completely different, but I was still able to use one of your songs, and it fit perfectly. Thanks again for these awesome tracks! Here's the game if you'd like to check it out: https://siguy1255.itch.io/silencing-circle

(+1)

Ah cool! Who would have thought that ghosts were so meaty when you blew them up haha. I ended up with a score of 69 by holding down A and just putting my mouse near any ghost that was getting close. Eventually that tactic didn't work any more, but it was fun :D

(+1)

woah, this is an amazing resource pack!! Especially with the file browser, wow, that was an upgrade. What an incredible find for game jams. Thanks so much\m/

So happy to hear that! I hope you get some great use out of the songs. Feel free to share 'em in the jams you make. Always love to see where they end up :D

(+1)

This pack is amazing. Thanks !

Heck yeah! Hope you get some good use out of it! :)

(+1)

Hey, thanks for creating this pack. I really appreciate the variety here. I used a few of these in my light JRPG and I feel it really helps set the proper mood. 

https://marzipanunigoat.itch.io/new-canon-the-mane-tailed-wolf-and-the-unspeakab...

(+1)

I'm glad to hear it! Love the look of this :D

Thank you so much for these songs!! They really help set the vibe for my game, Skeleton Snap! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4756390/Skeleton_Snap/

I lowered the sample rates and applied some filters for a ds-like feel 😊

(+1)

Ha this is great! Love the concept :D

Just finished making my first game and used your music as the finishing touch! Thank you. https://toomuchenzo.itch.io/get-apple

Heya! This is a fun game! I got 6 points on my first go. Really great execution on the design of the game, simple and clean :)

Thank you! It made my game so much better: https://niteshv.itch.io/one-last-knight

I collected 84 coins and scored 34300 points :) Glad the music helped the game out! Did you use Brackey's Godot tutorial as a base for this? The collection of assets and structure look familiar. That's how I started learning Godot anyway heh

Thanks a lot for playing! Yes, I learned Godot from Brackey's too, and this is my first game. The assets do look quite similar to the Brackey's ones, but I used the collection from Kevin's Mom's House.

Those are some cool asset packs! Thanks for sharing :)

(+1)

Your music is wonderful, and I've selected three tracks for players to choose from in my game: https://johnreno.itch.io/droploot

You have amazing talent and your music sets a great tone. Thank you!

(+1)

Got a score of 5015 and depth 5 on the first time around! Took a bit of getting used to, but I really like the flow of it. The pixel debris flying around really adds a lot to the experience too! :)

Oh thanks so much for playing, that's so kind of you. Your music really adds such a nice atmosphere and never feels repetitive!

ps. If you get a sec, please let me know what would have made the game easier to get into at the start (only if you have time!).

Thanks again!

(+1)

Biggest confusion I had was I thought keys did something on their own, so the first perk  took was more keys. I only saw one chest through the whole run so the extra keys were kind of useless. Might be interesting if matching two keys spawned a chest? Don't know if that would break the balance of the game though haha

(+1)

Oh good shout, I think giving some input would help. And there is a shop item that gives a chest spawn chance when matching keys! Thanks so much, that's super helpful feedback <3

(+1)

Oh! I didn't see that one :) Overall it felt really well done and thought out. I was surprised at how many options and synergies you built into it. Will have to give it another go when I have time :D

(+1)

Fantastic collection, thanks! I'm making a 2D platformer and some of these songs fit the vibe very nicely. It's called Seeing Double if you want to check out the demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4267710/Seeing_Double/

I plan to use Sketchbook 2024-11-07 for the upcoming lab area, and probably few other songs as well.

Woah what a neat idea! Even just watching the video on Steam made me feel like I was going crosseyed a little bit haha. 

Thanks for checking it out!

(+2)

I'm making my first game and found your music! Regardless of if I finish this game or not I wanted to give credit where its due and let you know this is AWESOME. I can code but I sure cant draw or compose music, people like you open a lot of possibilities in creative expression for others. Thank you for the work that you do!

Heya! I'm so glad the music is working for you. Best of luck in your game dev journey! Feel free to share the things you make, I'd love to see them:D

Thank you for the amazing music! I've created a simple 1-bit platformer game using your track.

https://jjsh1.itch.io/make-the-ball-smile

Thanks for sharing! Love a good 1-bit game :) I got around 1050 points. I like the idea of avoiding spikes, but also things that affect your score in various ways

Hi! Just wanna say thank you so much for making the brilliant soundtracks, I used some of them in my little card game :)

https://kiriloler.itch.io/mouth-lip-eye

I like the idea for a quick game like this, but I'm not understanding the rules. I feel like I was getting way more matches than the opponent and I was either losing or drawing most games :c

Thanks for your feedbacks, yea too much drawing is a big problem of my games rn, I’m still trying to figures it out ;)

Hello! Dear creator, we used some SEs in our game jam, this is the link to it.

https://lindaguozicheng.itch.io/over-the-dose

 Thank you very much.

(+1)

I like how the different colors dictate your jumping route. I got a score of 267, though I don't know if that's good or not :)

Hi! I wanted to say a huge thanks for this music bundle. I used your tracks in my recently released Android game, '2048 Combo'.  I tried to leave message with a link before but it seems to have been filtered out, so I'm leaving this message again just to express my gratitude. Thank you for the great work!

Weird about the link! Maybe itch doesn't want people posting links to outside stores or something. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out :D

Thank you for the amazing music! The chiptune tracks really brought the vibe of my latest game jam entry together :)

https://sablescholar.itch.io/card-stomp

Heya! I love the idea of bouncing between choosing cards and a little rhythm game. This is fun :)

I hope it was OK I mentioned your music pack here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/B2NGH/free-music-loop-pack-for-use-in-game... - I hope that is OK let me know if you want it deleted or changed in anyway and thanks for helping people 

Heya! Thank you so much for the shout out! It's totally OK to share the link and let more people know about it :)

Thanks for music! I used one of your tracks for my 2D puzzle platformer to give it a chill vibe. https://mkhal.itch.io/block-it-out

What a cool concept! I didn't have a ton of time to get deep into it, but I bet there are some really brain bending puzzles in there :D

Really Good! as allways šŸŽµāœØ

(+1)

Holy - all of these are absolute bangers and an extremely generous license. Some of the best work I’ve come across on itch!

(+1)

Thanks for the kind words! Glad more people are discovering the pack :) Hope you get some good use out of them!

Thank you a lot for the music! I made my first complete game, and your music added the final touch I needed for some much-needed game feel. Thank you very much! https://victornb1real.itch.io/rog20thermalgrid

I kinda want to put "Ability Set: Non-Standard" on my resume :D Cool game! always love to see a classic top down shooter :)

Thank you for the great music pack! We made a part-stitching zombie game for a game jam, and the looping BGMs are just amazing! https://coda-game.itch.io/pieces-of-life 

Ha what a great idea! I love media that's like "In the distant future of <date that is actually 5 years ago>" Glad the music worked for you!

Thank you for the amazing tracks! With so many to choose from I found plenty that fit my vibe. I used them in Just Mazes (https://wowzela.itch.io/mazes03), its just that, just mazes. Felt like exactly what I needed while swiping through. Thank you!

(+1)

What a cool idea. I always love solving some mazes. Having an endless "explore" mode is neat too!

(+1)

Thank you! I really just wanted something I could totally zone out with. 

That's my specialty! :D

Thank you so much for the music! Our team ended up using some of your tracks for https://cedricdewitt.itch.io/magical-girl-monochrome mixed with completely original music by our composers, mostly used for cutscenes.

(+1)

Lots of detail for a game jam game! This was a lot of fun to play :D

(+1)

good music man

Thanks for your excellent music! I still don't know what style I want to use in my project, but I've used your some of your more ambient tracks in my demo. I think they work really well: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4377700 

Heya! I'm glad that the music was helpful for you! Congrats on the Steam release :)

Hey! I used Sketchbook 2024-11-7 in my game https://braininabowl.itch.io/corridor-fight-scene. It's a perfect fit, so thanks for sharing it.

Heya! So glad that the music helped out :) A little tip with the main corridor music, that little gap in the loop is from it being an MP3 file. If you convert it to WAV or OGG, it should clean up that slight pause at the loop point.

Really like the concept you have here!

Thanks for the advice. They're already ogg files, I think the delay is caused by the hefty line-of-sight and pathfinding algorithms running all the time.

Ha yeah it might be that too! Either way, great idea!

I used your music in my first ever game, https://vohawan.itch.io/tavas-journey, Thank you so much for sharing this amazing music bundle :)

Love the concept and art style. I'm so bad at these types of games 😭 I'm glad that you got good use out of the music!

Hi! Thank you for this free music! I used it for my game. 

https://pixabro.itch.io/rock-paper-scissors-championship

(+1)

Ha I love the art style you've got going on with this :) Glad to hear the music was useful for you!

Hello, used several of your tracks for the demo of my first game . You are doing an awesome job, thanks!

https://moonslide.itch.io/flickering-rebels

Congrats on getting a game out there! Glad to hear that the music was helpful to you :)

Hi, I'm going to be using a couple of your Sketchbook tracks for my game Verto.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4272230/Verto/

(+1)

Ah yea! I saw your post on BlueSky. Congrats on getting a game on Steam, I hope it goes well for you :D

Hi, I used two of your tracks for my platformer game.

https://bukibuki.itch.io/hermithaar

Btw I found your music through the visual novel Z.A.T.O I love the World and Everything in It, highly recommend it!

Thanks for sharing! I haven't heard of ZATO. I'll have to give that a look too. Always cool to see where these songs end up :D

thank you for the great music I put into my web game here is the link for it you want to check it out I also the homepage there is a credits for you

this is an incredibly deep and detailed game! I love Clicker games so I got lost in it for 30 minutes or so :)

Nice i am glad :)

Used  two of your tracks in my game Super Shot! by gomaaaa

Sketchbook 2024-08-01

Sketchbook 2024-10-30

Thank you!

I feel they fit very well! haha

Hey this is a great idea! My high score was 1457 :D

(+1)

Hi, looks like I forgot to tell you a Sketchbook 2024 track was used in my ā€œMarriage Hackā€. The track replaced another that was a bit too aggressive for the story. Thank you for supporting all our projects through your music!

https://falsfiction.itch.io/marriage-hack

This is a lovely poem, thanks for sharing! :)

Hi, does these loop have a copyright issue when included in youtube videos?

Hi, no copyright issues using any of my music. I do maintain a ContentID on my album music, but I set it as "silent pass-through" meaning that it's for informational purposes only. Nobody gets notified and no warnings will get sent.

I used two of these for this short game. I intend to use the rest of the tracks for future projects.

I, too, will explode from too much stress. This is a cute game! Gets really intense as things go along :D
