  - Track notes -

  01. Title

    This is the title screen theme. It''s actually an arrangement of the final track,
  Open Sky - All Possible Futures.

  02. Newtown

    This was the second song I composed for Wyndia. It was fun to make the sounds
  of a bustling city with all the percussion, and the little trills. The song was
  actually built around the rhythm, which came first.

  03. Chapter Starts

    The beginning of any tale should always feel like being on the cusp of something
  grand!

  04. Tawtus - A Tower of Knowledge

    For Tawtus, I went for a very sleek, educated feel. To me, this means jazz elements,
  as well as strings. This song has both in spades.

    If you listen closely, you will notice an arpeggio from Plummet Caverns, because
  the two are thematically related.

  05. Fallen Yelm - A Tower of Our Ancestors

    This was one of my favorites to work on out of the entire soundtrack. I went for
  some slight middle-eastern influence. Like with Newtown, this song was built around
  the rhythm. By the end, the track gets pretty heavy.

  06. A Wonky Conversation

    I had some real fun with this one. I tried to replicate the feeling one gets when
  someone says something completely off-the-wall in a conversation, and continues
  on with it.

    "Did he really just say that?!"

    Yes, yes he did, and he''s still going.

  07. Fawtus - A Tower of Combat

    For Fawtus, I wanted to go for a hopeful, honorable and brave feeling. The drum
  rolls helped a lot with that, although surprisingly, it was the strings track that
  came first this time!

  08. Chapter Ends - Let''s Try Again

    Sometimes, everything doesn''t work out, and you have to start over at square
  one. We''ve all been there.

  09. Makertown - A Tower of Craftsmen

    Makertown was one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack, although it took more
  than a few tries to get it just right. Like many of the other songs, this one was
  built entirely around the rhythm, which is almost entirely constructed of random
  sound effects. I felt a very rhythm-oriented song would be perfect for a place like
  Makertown, and from there, progressed to bass. The melody came last, but tied the
  whole song up nicely.

  10. Indartsua - The Tower of Our Rulers

    This song was very tough to get just right, because of the emotions associated
  with the place it represents. I went for a regal, pensive feeling, ultimately.

  11. Plantus - A Tower of Agriculture

    This was actually the very first song I composed for Wyndia, and that was on the
  night I got the materials to work on the soundtrack (Newtown was also composed that
  same night). I wanted to write something dreamy and carefree, and something far,
  far outside of my usual style. This song was actually built off the chords, before
  anything else. The melody and rhythm came last. I took some cues from pop music
  for this one!

  12. A Happy Conversation

    This was one of the last songs I wrote for this soundtrack. Like with Plantus,
  I wanted to go for a carefree, dreamy feeling. Like a wistful afternoon spent with
  friends.

  13. Plummet Caverns - Where History Hides

    For Plummet Caverns, I used a style closer to my comfort zone than many of the
  other tracks (save Fallen Yelm.) It lends itself to mysterious, dark sounds, after
  all. Like Fallen Yelm, it carries a heavy rhythm.

    If you listen closely, you''ll notice an arpeggio also present in Tawtus, because
  the two are thematically linked.

  14. A Stressful Conversation

    This was the final track I composed for this soundtrack, and it vastly differs
  from the rest of the soundtrack both in theme and arrangement, due to the fact that
  this song has to do with characters being in direct peril, and I wanted it to stand
  out.

  15. Chapter Ends - Onward

    This is what it feels like when one arrives home from a long, long day, having
  accomplished something wonderful!

  16. Open Sky - All Possible Futures

    I actually composed part of this tune when I was younger (the part in question
  begins the track,) however, I wrote the rest while scoring Wyndia. The theme is
  very long, and takes roughly a minute to build up to its main hook. I wanted to
  build up to a feeling of uncontrollable hopefulness, wonder and freedom.

    Unlike other tracks, this song was built around an electric piano track, which
  was all played in one take with no breaks, once I''d figured out the chords. After
  a short breakdown, I brought all the elements back together for the second playthrough
  of the song, to keep the feeling of wonder alive.'
