Characteristics of Soundtrack Music
- audio recording created or used in film production or post-production.
- the dialogue, sound effects, and music in a film each has its own separate track, and these are mixed together to make what is called the composite track.

Setting:
There are three parts of the city: The High End District: The part of the city where the rich and famous robots live. Buildings and robots are all shiny and nearly everything is futuristic. Everyone here has a metal covering that hides all their inner workings. Bigweld Industries is here. Combustion District: A low-class place. It has numerous rust spots, and robots have the internal workings similar to a 1950's car at best. And the Steam District: The lowest part of the city, and therefore the rustiest. Parts of the district resemble the inventions of the Industrial Revolution, and everywhere is filled with broken machines.
