Avatar: The Last Airbender has an expansive soundtrack produced by The Track Team. All the background compositions, character themes, and songs in the world of avatar play an important part in molding the atmoshpere of each episode. Feelings of happiness, suspense, regret, love, action, and many more are projected to the senses through music, making the soundtrack an important aspect of series production. The Soundtrack of Avatar has many eastern influences, considering that the show contains many connections to eastern culture. The Track Team, consisting of Jeremy Zuckerman and Bennjamin Wynn, created most of the series' music with MIDI tracks, but compositions for the final episodes in Sozin's Comet were performed by a live orchestra. A lot of work went into the soundtrack of Avatar: the Last Airbender, making it both original and emotional.

[edit] Benjamin Wynn
Growing up in Chicago, Benjamin Wynn was heavily influenced by the University of Chicago's radio station WHPK. He particularly liked the way Hip-hop manipulated sounds and its use of static. He hung out around the station a lot during his high school career. Later, his interests in music led him to CalArts where he studied acoustics, music theory, and much more. He earned a bachelor's degree in music technology, but was intrigued by the Balinese Gamelan, African drumming, and hand percussion. He has put out 3 electronic/hip-hop albums under the name of Deru and helped compose an eight-part score for a ballet during his professional career. Benjamin Wynn
[edit] List of Tracks
Currently there has been no official soundtrack release for Avatar: The Last Airbender since Nickelodeon holds the rights to the music. So, considering this fact the list below is not a complete list and will not be fully complete until an official soundtrack is released by The Track Team. Even though there has been no official release of Avatar music, many tracks and songs can be found throughout the internet. The songs below mainly come from the show, but others may be from the series video games since The Track Team created the music for those as well. Along with official tracks, a few remixes are on the list too.
