The Dragon Cometh

By ModalModule on June 26, 2022 11:01 pm

So I was super busy in prep for a show I played this saturday, and as a result didn't start my wb till sunday, a few hours before the deadline (again), and also was hanging out with my significant other, so brought up to her the idea of giving me a starting point for the track. I said "so just like you can close your eyes and picture a dragon, you can 'close your ears' and hear music". Well, she took that a little too literally, and started imaging what a dragon's music would sound like, but really only got so far as the dragon's breath as it approaches, with consistent aggression. We were gonna mess with sampling breath, but I ended up synthesizing it instead. It could also pass for wings beating, so up to your interpretation. But ya, basically I just went from there... *shrug*

This track has a really cool sound to it! I definitely think that synthesized breath sound is like wings beating. I really like the aggressive sounds you chose for this one. I love the melody at around 1:23, it's epic. Great job!

well done, out of the arbitrary constraints we put upon ourselves creativity abounds.

super cool! my first thought before I tabbed over to check out your description was that it was a giant dog barking in the distance, which could also be another fun prompt
