Description
Genre: Orchestral/Cinematic
Game: Narrative Adventure

Track list: 1 - Main Menu (Main Theme); 2 - Starting Town Exploration (Yrel's Theme); 3 - Dragon's Lair Exploration (Dragon's Theme); 4 - Game Over.

DAW: Presonus Studio One 5.5

For the soundtrack, I envision two distinct themes: one for the dragon and the other for the protagonist, Yrel. Though initially unacquainted, there's a subtle connection between them that will unfold as the game progresses.

The journey commences in Yrel's hometown, where her Theme sets the tone. As she embarks on her quest, her path eventually leads her to the lair of the White Dragon, marked by the introduction of the Dragon's Theme.

As their bond deepens, they unite for a shared journey, prompting the merging of their themes for the Main Menu Track. This fusion, accentuated by a modulation, symbolizes their newfound alliance and mutual purpose.

Drawing inspiration from the image, which lean towards oriental motifs, the music adopts a coherent style (which you can often hear in the Game Over's motif). Oriental woodwinds, notably the Xiao, feature prominently, enriching the cultural resonance. Additionally, the choice of woodwinds reinforces the thematic motif of wind, echoing throughout the game's narrative.

Message from the artist
I really hope you like the tracks I composed!

Ah! Great work. This makes me want to collab with real instruments and vocals and your compositions.

Like, there are things I would add to flavor it, but it's not like I mean that as a critique - it's like I would love to do the dance of harmonizing my music with yours, adding some of my overtone flavors and folkloric textures, then get some live musicians on their instruments to play with.

Nice work! I especially loved the use of the Xiao to convey the "wind" motif.
