About Silverman Sound Studios

Hey, I’m Shane – Composer, Producer & Founder of Silverman Sound Studios.

I’ve been obsessed with music since before I can remember. Growing up in an actual art gallery (not joking) while the home computing revolution was happening created this perfect storm of artistic and technical fascination in me.

My path led me to earning a Master’s in Electronic Composition & Music in AV Media from Liverpool University. While other students invested their loans into partying hard, I built a studio piece by piece. Priorities, right?

The Problem With Stock Music

You’ve probably been there – scrolling through endless libraries of generic stock music that all sounds the same. Cookie-cutter tracks that check boxes but lack soul. Or maybe you’ve found the perfect track, only to discover licensing costs that would blow your budget.

I experienced this from the other side. Submitting my compositions to stock music sites only to have them rejected for not being “commercial enough” or not fitting some arbitrary template. It was frustrating having to dilute my creativity to fit someone else’s formula.

The Turning Point

One day, staring at yet another rejection email, I had a realisation: Why am I letting gatekeepers decide if my music deserves to be heard?

I had hard drives full of high-quality compositions that I was proud of – music that was gathering digital dust instead of enhancing someone’s creative project. That’s when Silverman Sound Studios was born.

Building Something Different

Creating this platform wasn’t just about uploading files. I had to learn web development, graphic design, marketing, and SEO from scratch. There were countless late nights of coding and redesigning, all while continuing to compose new music.

The goal was simple but ambitious: provide studio-quality music without the usual barriers. No generic algorithms deciding what’s “marketable.” No complex licensing schemes. Just professional music created by a human who genuinely cares about quality.

What Makes This Different

Everything here is crafted with obsessive attention to detail:

  • Professional Quality: Every track is produced using the same techniques and equipment used for commercial releases
  • Genuine Independence: One composer, one studio, no corporate overhead influencing the creative process
  • Simple Licensing: Free with credit (CC BY 4.0) or Pro license without attribution – that’s it
  • Regular Updates: New music added constantly (I literally can’t stop composing)
  • Human Touch: Made by someone with a deep emotional connection to music and a theremin (very important)

The Impact

Today, millions of YouTube videos, indie games, films, TV shows and podcasts feature music from Silverman Sound Studios. From student projects to professional productions, creators worldwide have found their perfect soundtrack here.

What matters to me isn’t just the numbers, but knowing that my compositions are helping other creators bring their visions to life.

In my element. Travel, wine and crisps.

The Person Behind the Music

When I’m not in the studio, I’m… well, usually still thinking about music. But I also enjoy good food and drink, long walks in the countryside, films, DIY, and spending time with my friends and family.

Fun fact: “He is a silver man” is an anagram of my full name. It became my online handle, and when combined with “Sound Studios,” it created this pleasantly alliterative brand. Plus, it sounds shiny.

Why Give Away Professional Music?

Three honest reasons:

  1. I make too much music (seriously, help me share it)
  2. I want to support fellow creators
  3. The more people use my music, the more inspired I am to create
