Chronicles of the Azure Sky: Ballad of the White Dragon

I used MuseScore and Logic Pro (using the Spitfire Audio LABS and Rare Flutes plugins) in composing this piece.

My personal background greatly influenced how I approached this theme. As a flute player who grew up in Hong Kong, both my musical and cultural background play a significant role in how I envisioned the music to sound for a game with this theme. Due to my primary instrument being the flute, I find that I frequently like to incorporate the flute in some form (appropriate to the tone and theme of the piece) in many of my compositions, and given my Chinese heritage, dragons definitely have a strong association with East Asian culture for me. I have also recently played a lot of the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which also feature dragons prominently in their storylines and feature East Asian-influenced music and instrumentation. This led me to lean heavily on the pentatonic scale when composing this piece, as well as incorporating instruments such as the Chinese dizi flute, ocarina and mandolin.
