Hey, it’s Shane. If you’ve ever found the perfect track here and thought “I can’t believe this is actually free” — that’s the reaction I’ve been chasing for over a decade, and it never gets old.
I built this studio instead of buying beer at university. Still no regrets. What started as sharing music I was genuinely proud of has quietly grown into a resource used by over 480,000 content creators on YouTube alone — not to mention podcasters, filmmakers, and indie game developers I’ll never get to meet but am quietly delighted to be helping.
Each track here represents a meaningful chunk of time — composing, recording, mixing, mastering, and then making sure it’s properly licensed and freely available for everyone. Hosting hundreds of high-quality audio files, keeping the site running smoothly, and maintaining the kind of personal copyright support you simply won’t find on a platform library — it all has a cost.
When you support Silverman Sound Studios, you’re not filing it under “charitable donation.” You’re backing the idea that quality creative tools shouldn’t be locked behind a budget. You’re supporting music made by an actual human being with an actual opinion about chord progressions — not an algorithm averaging what “background music” sounds like. And, more practically, you’re helping me keep doing this instead of quietly converting to stock photo watermarking, or adding unskippable ads to every track.

One-time, any amount, no account needed. Even the price of a coffee keeps the studio running and a new track in the pipeline.
Become a regular supporter and get something back: pro licences without attribution, early track access, and the ability to suggest what I compose next.
Every play adds up. Find me on your platform of choice — it's the easiest support there is.
Tell someone about a track. A link from a blog or website helps enormously for discovery. Sharing on social is great too.
Newsletter when new tracks drop. YouTube for behind-the-scenes. And if you've used my music, a review helps others find it.
When I started this, I wanted to build the resource I wished had existed when I was starting out — professional music with no strings attached, from someone you could actually reach if something went wrong.
Every time a creator uses one of my tracks in their project, that creative circle turns. Your work inspires mine, which turns up in someone else’s video, game, or film. I find that genuinely wonderful, and I’d like to keep it going for as long as possible.
Whether you’ve been here for years or found this page ten minutes ago — thank you. Shine on.
