Shawarma

Game music that loops cleanly

Describe the level, and Shawarma makes a loop for it. Each song is a set of short patterns, so the end leads back into the start with no gap and no click.

Every layer is separate: drums, bass, chords, melody. Ask for a faster boss version, take the melody out for a menu, or add a layer when the player finds the key.

Then ask for changes

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

Made for indie games

  • Loops that repeat cleanly

    A song is a set of patterns of whole bars, so it comes back round on the beat.

  • Layers you can switch

    Drums, bass, chords and melody are separate. Keep one version with all of them and one without the melody.

  • Yours to use

    You own what you make and can use it in your videos and games. Some built-in sounds ask for a credit; the list is on the Terms page.

Questions

Does the loop repeat without a gap?
Yes. Each part is a pattern of whole bars, so the end of the loop leads straight back into the start. Export it as WAV and set it to loop in your engine.
Can I use the music in my game?
You own what you make and can use it in your videos and games. Some built-in sounds ask for a credit; the list is on the Terms page.
Can I get each layer on its own?
Yes. Ask for a version with only the drums and bass, or without the melody, and export each one. Every version is saved.
How do I get the audio file?
Pro exports WAV and MP3. On Free you can make, edit and share songs.
