Description
I composed the soundtrack in mind as an RPG, with all songs pulling from a few motifs to unify it as a cohesive whole while deviating heavily in overall tone and in expression of those core ideas.
My program I used was FL Studio 21. I began work on a single track, devised a few melodies and musical ideas from which I could extrapolate the entire soundtrack, and then built on it from there. Building on the bones of a single project allowed me to quickly flesh out many others, and find new ways to subvert and align with listener's expectations in a way that (hopefully!) delights and challenges the ear.

Theme

Chronicles of the Azure Sky: The White Dragon's Melody
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I wanted each song to represent the wistful musings of a long lived dragon, and how different emotions could be expressed as different feelings and overall expressions of the same type of ideas that might sprout from a being so long lived. In my conception of such a creature, anything that has been in existence for so long must have things for it to be guilty for, or to have feelings of regret or desires to undo what has been mistaken and then learned.

Love the funkiness guitar blues of Passion track!

Developer

Passion is intense, and not always happy. I wanted to convey both feelings at the same time with that one. Thank you!!!!

The pauses in Paroxysm made it my favorite of the bunch. I think the kick was a little too loud tho.

Developer

Thanks! It's what we don't add that makes the difference. Play it loud on some speakers! You'll have a great time.

Really liked some of the leads in "Passion!"

Thank you! I felt this one only come together in the final moments. I really wanted to lean into the dramatic angle for this one, hardcore.
