OSRT THAT

Kevin MacLeod

 * Promise to Keep, Piano, Slow and Bright, Use for deep conversations between player characters
 * Light Thought, Piano, Slow and Mellow, Use for down time where players are calm
 * G**** Shoegazer, Multi-Instrument, Romani feel I think, play when they meet an odd person in the bazaar
 * Easy Lemon, Guitar, Another relaxing calm down time piece
 * Wisps of Whorls, Bells and Keyboard?, Slow and mellow, use for big player character or npc slow burn climax, maybe even a confession
 * Moonlight Hall, Clarinet, Strings, Voice, sounds like the title says, use for winter travel or meeting with a Silver dragon
 * Peace of Mind, Piano with Drones in D, half an hour of super calm music, put this on if you're feeling lazy with music choice
 * Tempting Secrets Whatever it feels like those skyrim music bits and it's interesting enough to include here
 * Lost Frontier I dunno man it's that one from critical role I forget from where but seriously just play this in the Ocean Dungeon, it'll be fine
 * Plaint, very good for a wizard's tower or castle. Simple, mystifying, intriguing
 * Decline, very similar to the previous piece, better for dungeons than castles
 * Crossing the Divide, very nice simple and warm piece, use for a celebration of life, a simple ceremony, marriage perhaps, a new start, or a happy goodbye
 * Anguish, slow with lots of plucked strings. good for a mysterious town or npc encounter
 * Vadodora, FUCKING DESERT JAMS
 * Infinite Perspective, it's really large and vocal and idk where to use it
 * Dreams Become Real, more like nightmares come to reality, good for when stuff is really going on. probably should be in ominous
 * Garden Music
 * Heavy Heart
 * Immersed, it's a fucking death song, you play this when someone dies, when they're hopeless, when defeat seems to be the only option
 * Hidden Past, "Pipes, pipes, and more pipes! Irish? Scottish? Celtic? I have no idea. But sure - could be any of those. Let's call it "Ancient British Isles"."
 * Magic Forest
 * Soaring, While not an epic hour-long relaxation juggernaut, Soaring is an excellent relaxation workhorse with just enough mystical qualities to keep it from being truly peaceful. Imagine a calm monkey hanging out at a remote monastery who, from time to time, will touch a tree - causing the tree to age a decade in a matter of seconds. I mean... still pretty calm, but something isn't right about that.
 * Thinking Music
 * Sneaky Snitch, Tiberius's theme.
 * The Pyre, Grog's Theme. Exploring a castle?
 * Dewdrop Fantasy, "The smell of a garden hose, that muted crack when you start up a glowstick, watching the sunrise with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice... all so calming... This piece of music is like that. Simple, bleeping, and slowly changing. Can you think of something else that is simple, bleeping, and changing? "an old PC speaker?" well, that's simple and bleeping. "EDM?" that's... bleeping and changing. "Hippie fashion?" that's... Hippie fashion? I don't know what that is. Well, it is long hair and paisley bell-bottoms and far too many beads... You just found the outside of the Venn Diagram."
 * Crossing the Chasm, Battle Music??? Really intense, MARCHING MUSIC
 * concentration, Really long super calm bullshit music to use never but here it is on the list if they decide to sit in a pond or spa for an hour
 * send for the horses, "Floaty! Ethereal! Useful for dream sequences. Or those montages of sad people standing in the rain." OMG ALL THE PEOPLE DIED AND THE BATTLE WAS WON BUT AT WHAT COST

Mort Garson

 * Deja Vu from Ataraxia The Unexplained, another fast synth tune to get your players ready for ADVENTURE. Get them into the Adventure Zone!!

 * The Adventure Zone: The Crystal Kingdom OST - Crystal Minuet

And then there's some more "AHHHHHHHHH" and then even more and its like a new key or something, and the drums are all distorted and slammin', and then there's this wwwwwwhhhhHHHHHOOOOOOOSHHHH!!!! and some more french horn majesty - and like another keychange or something... but definitely some bass drum.

 * Bent and Broken, Gives the sense of something other-worldly, will throw players off, very nice
 * Return of Lazarus, Subtly ominous, subtle, will mess with players, creepy crawly, fun fun fun

 * Lost Time, droning and low and good
 * Myst on the Moor, builds up, but still is pretty MYSTERIOUSSSS
 * Giant Wyrm, obvious, but nice, "Oh! The horror! This is NOT a fun piece. It WILL make you feel like there is something seriously wrong. Did those veins on my forearm always look like that? I mean, they're doing a weird criss-cross pattern... and they look REALLY blue. I would have noticed that before, surely! I wonder if this has anything to do with the meteor that came down in Mr. Wilson's pond last night?"
