Town music is about life — it tells players the danger is somewhere else for now. Where a tavern is one warm room, a town is the whole street: broader, busier, lit by daylight. Reach for tracks with movement and a touch of the diegetic — a fiddle from a market stall, the suggestion of a crowd — so the place feels populated even when nothing’s happening.
This is your downtime soundtrack, so keep it pleasant and loopable; players will be shopping, gathering rumours, and splitting the party for errands, and the music should comfortably carry all of it. Shift to something tenser only when the city itself turns — a chase through the quarter, a curfew, a body in the canal.
