Snowy Morning Snippet

Inspired by the journey across the overworld in video games. Please like and subscribe!

The journey begins with a climb to the top of the overlook, where you are struck with a panoramic view of some fantastic land. You descend the mountain, wander through the forest, confront and overcome the raging river, and make your way to the highland plains. There, you find a simple village, whose peace is quickly snatched away by raiders. You work stealthily to help the others escape the raiders' camp, but are discovered and take flight. The chase is a fierce one, but ends with you victoriously crossing the bridge to leave your pursuers in the river below. The piece ends with a reprisal of the overlook theme as you scan the horizon for the next adventure.

Overworld Overture

Inspired by the random encounter battles from games like Pokemon and Final Fantasy. Please like and subscribe!

The track begins with a disorienting call to fight or flight. You start the fight with your best foot forward. The enemy counters powerfully, but you slowly manage to gain the upper hand. The enemy then brings forth their most devastating attack. You resist heroically, but are thrown down. Your head pounds, you hear your friends' distant voices, and you remember why you're fighting. You clamber back to your feet and the battle begins anew. The enemy pulls the same tricks, but you are ready. You counter all of their best attacks and land the final decisive blow, leading to victory.

Extra thanks to 8-Bit Music Theory for this one. Not only was one of his videos very useful in the creation of this track, but he even stated in said video that I owe it to the musical lexicon to create it. Thank you 8-Bit! I got on it!
