Description
'When The Beasts Meet' is a piano piece with quite an intimate, gentle feel, before becoming much more intense.
I used FL Studio 21 for the production and the piano vst 'The Grandeur'.
I feel this captivates the bond between the main character and the white dragon, as well as the power I believe this dragon would have.
'The White Dragon's Call' is a full orchestral piece. This was my first time creating an orchestral composition.
I used FL Studio 21, BBC Discover, and Orchestral Essentials 2.
This would be the White Dragon's theme.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
I think my music describes the dragon's character, as well as the bond between the main character and the dragon. The use of dynamics and harmony is what I believe captivates that bond and personality.

ahh i love the contrast between the more staccato notes vs. the legato sustained notes on When The Beasts Meet!!
When Beasts Meet was actually fantastic - the chords in the middle really spoke to me - easily one of my favorite submissions ive run into so far. You've inspired me to try out Grandeur :P
Thank you, it means a lot! The Grandeur has such a nice tone. I'd recommend putting some soundgoodizer on the mixer to make it sound even better :)
I love the harmonies on the white dragon's call. Great work!
When The Beasts Meet: I love that low sustain piano. I love the changing intensity. Cool chord choices (love the Picardy third and Dorian interchange). Beautiful!
The White Dragon's Call: Beautiful outro. Again loving these chords.
Great work, one of my favorites composition wise!
I loved The White Dragon's Call! I feel like it would fit right into an obscure RPG Maker game.
Thank you!
I like how the first video is black and white while the second one has so much color! I think it fit well with the music.
I can definitely hear Hisaishi influence. Very good.
Very Miyazaki! This is a lovely little composition.
Thank you so much!
Great job! Lovely piano piece, and such a great orchestral composition for your first time!
Thank you!
"When The Beasts Meet" conveys the duality between the player and the dragon super well, and is generally just very well written. "The White Dragon's Call" expands on the first track beautifully, i'm definitely getting some my neighbor totoro vibes from it. Nice work!
Ahhh thank you! "The White Dragon's Call" was inspired by some Ghibli songs, so I'm glad you recognised it!
