Description
This soundtrack tried to capture environmental or cinematic moments rather than characters or battles, for a game that may feature combat, but movement and exploration are its cores. Symbiosis with your dragon companion, or a search to find one; a theme of appreciation and awe should pervade this game.
I composed each track using Musescore 4 and imported MIDI from my keyboard, which is why I didn't upload PDFs because they're not readable by sane musicians... it was fun! My submission consisted of three 1-minute pieces:
"Crystal Lairs": Representing the dragon's resting grounds, this track takes its sound inspiration from Final Fantasy 10 (see: Mushroom Rock?)
"Over the Stars": An ED, credit screen, or resting theme, this track is sparse, but carries a distinct rhythm and chromaticism. The beauty of individuality, and your reflection in the night sky. (see: Pokemon cities soundtrack chromaticism... )
"The Last Dragon Dance": My original scope for big, epic orchestral fantasy tracks were quickly dashed after the first two hours of scoring work, so this was my compromise. A waltz which builds intensity, a climax that may not necessarily end in bloodshed, but still demands a demonstration of skill.
Message from the artist
Had tons of fun ripping my Pokemon and Final Fantasy 10 brainrot for these tracks!
Theme
Chronicles of the Azure Sky: The White Dragon's Melody
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
At once uplifting and dramatic, with tracks of serenity and the fear of falling and the unique beauty of being so close to the stars in the sky. My tracks tried to capture a solitary, plucked-string traveler who is trying to deepen their bond with nature.
