A little too much repetition in the build-up (personal opinion), but the instrumentation begins to pick up in interest after the first minute. Good work!

Description
The genre is orchestral/ cinematic. When I saw the theme, I thought of an action- adventure RPG game, kind of Zelda-like, with a lot of temples and puzzles but also intense fights and mythical creatures. I have a weekend job so I basically only had nighttime to work on this so I focused on one track that would be the main theme and melody for the white Dragon from Azure. You can loop it. I made this in about 7-10 hours and used Ableton Live 12. When I compose I kind of just go with the flow, I chose a scale (E Hirajoshi) and then did it mostly by ear. I used orchestral VSTs and tried to make it as legendary as possible!
Message from the artist
Thanks for hosting this kind of jams! I absolutely love composing soundtrack and working on time crunches. I really enjoyed this and hope perfect pitch helped lol<3
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
When I thought of the white dragon, I imagined a legendary, lonely and ancient creature yet to be found whose legacy is respected and even feared, but possesses a very warm personality. So I went for a gentle but bittersweet melody, in which I tried to pick airy and delicate sounds, like flutes and harps. I tried to make an epic orchestral introduction that led to an intimate part that would show a new motif/ side of my concept of the dragon and the song itself. I mantained the cinematic style because I wanted it to have a legendary feel, and used subtle chinese intrument plugins to accompany the classical strings and brass.
