Music in The Adventure Zone pertains to The Adventure Zone Original Soundtrack, the Adventure Zone theme, or outside music used by Griffin McElroy during the podcast.
The Adventure Zone Original Soundtrack
Griffin McElroy has composed original music for The Adventure Zone since Episode 26.
Initially, Griffin used GarageBand, a MIDI converter, and a Rock Band 3 Keyboard to create the podcast's defining electronic sound. He first placed them surrounding the show's commercial break, then interspersed the tracks underneath dialogue, even incorporating them into the storyline.
Griffin stated on the TAZ Tumblr that he envisions the tracks "less like theme songs, and more like radio stingers"[1].
The entire, up-to-date OST can be found here.
