Music Wynncon 2017 Ost

Here's all seven songs I wrote for this year's Wynncon event!
Writing these songs was a lot of fun, I was able to try a few new things I don't normally do with noteblocks and write songs in styles that Wynncraft itself doesn't need currently. I actually put myself in quite the time crunch with this, too. I started the first song only four days ago, and finished the last song at 6am today, four hours before the event started!

Airbase Arrival (The Airbase Theme) - This song was the last of the seven to be written, and it uses the quadruple echo effect I used in World Above The Clouds, alongside a simple but catchy percussion track, an alternating bass drum meant to sound like a propeller spinning, and the crescendo-ing type of bassline that I first used in Roots of Corruption. I wasn't originally asked to write a theme for this area, but I just had to because I loved the builds for it and I've never written a song for an area like this one before.

Volcano Volitation (Main Island Theme) - This was the first song out of the seven, and the rhythm of the bassline and the solos make this song an interesting tonal combination of Ravine Village and Mount Wynn. It has a simple melody that'll get stuck in your head, as well as some more complex parts with the low arpeggios and a conclusion that combines all the parts you heard throughout the song. The low repeating notes in the background in some parts are a new idea I had, and I used them in some of the other Wynncon songs as well.

Mountainous Majesty (Giveaway Island Theme) - This song starts as Coast v2.0, but quickly picks up into some more complex sixteenth-note rhythms followed by two overlaid melodies that intertwine with each other. Alternating arpeggios between the higher and lower harpsichord tracks makes for an interesting song that has a vibe almost of Corkus Docks, but with the bouncy bass and chord progression (albeit in a different key) of Coast.

Paramount Peaks (Parkour Island Theme) - This started as a bassline I used to demonstrate 5/4 time to @KeytarAshes, before flourishing into what it is here. As the only song for Wynncon in an odd metre, it has a very unique feel akin to Avos, and is quicker than the three themes before this. Interesting and different, but you can still tap your foot to it. This song also uses the repeated note trills to a larger extent than Volcano Volitation, and has a few suspenseful pauses before reducing itself to just the melody alone after a triumphant climax.

Sovereign Sierra (Pvp Island Theme) - An ominous intro leads into a catchy upbeat battle theme in this song, which utilizes two different melodies for the high and low parts, and an intense arpeggio section similar to Lexdale, with the percussion of Legendary Rumble and the bass part of Tower of Ascension's second melody. This song is guaranteed to keep your heart pumping during the intense pvp competition it was written for!

Parkour Race (Act 1) - Unassuming intros leading into exhilarating echoing melodies are a theme between both acts of the parkour race, with this song using a melody in the style of an unreleased Wynncraft song, and once again building on the repeating trills from Paramount Peaks and Volcano Volitation, before moving into an exciting 3:2 polyrhythm between the harp and the bass, and then combining the two for a key change up at the end of the song.

Parkour Race (Act 2) - This song takes the trills to the next level with an insane constant stream of notes for nearly the entire song. It excels in it's use of arpeggios and has a loud thumping bass track, with a simple catchy melody to boot. It makes for an epic conclusion to the race, ending with a key change that goes down rather than up for a change of tone as you reach the end of the track.

I want to thank @Enduh for all the hard work he and his team put into making this event happen, and @yosteric5 for dealing with server hosting, it was a blast working with you guys even though I was only really on the team for four days, and here's hoping tomorrow's events go better than today's!
Though, even with the lag, this wynncon was better than the others :>

I wonder what this is...
