Track 02 / 10 from my newly released original album composed entirely in SunVox, Cities Above and Below - "Pint-sized Gnome".
Sure, the great central forge, Halls of Explorers and all of the tinkering going on in the city was great but you haven't really lived until you've been inside of one of the famous taverns of Ironforge. Drink, get merry, drink some more, belch, rinse and repeat!
It's a shame that the taverns weren't really a gathering place for a lot of players but it was still fun to vibe and get your essential rested bonus. Plus, the music was always great there. Because of this, I went with a more laid back, off-beat vibe to sum up the feeling of maybe drinking alone, even though you were still surrounded by your Dwarven brethren. Such a lonely place but bustling at the same time.
Outside of the bank and auction house was always far busier but just off to the side, there was a tiny little pocket of solitude to drink your woes away and forget about everything that happened that day. Also, Gnomes were always just the right size to punt around the tavern to release some of that tension!
The eventual introduction of the Monk class would rectify the lack of any playable alcohol connoisseurs (aka Brewmasters) so until then, any of my favourite race of Dwarves had to do when the going got tough! Short and tiny but incredibly powerful.

There is just something about the stock sounds in LMMS, mainly the instruments created with ZynAddSubFX, that is so incredibly satisfying when it comes to attempting to match that from the Nintendo Gamecube era. Maybe the developers are just secret fans of the console. When it comes to translating the strings and choir sections, I did surprisingly well when attempting to balance and mix what I had to offer.
It was much of the same as when I initially covered the Hyrule Temple track from Super Smash Bros. Melee previously. Those piano synths alongside the choir and strings section breakdown were particularly pleasing on the ear.
Fighting in Onett was always fun and a good memory of mine. Playing as Kirby, the cars were always a bit of a pain but getting to use that down-B a lot more than made up for it. I think the only other characters that really suited my playstyle were Captain Falcon and Ganondorf in the end. It was handy that Kirby was my main as my friends both preferred playing Link and Samus respectively anyway so there were never any mirror matches!
Hope you enjoy this one. Some of the piano chords were tough but I think that I ended up putting my own little spin on things where I could. Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.
