AngelCityOutlaw Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Avatar: The Last Airbender happens to be my favourite TV show (and only the greatest animated series of all time =P) but I also really love East-Asian instruments, and so this seemed like a perfect excuse to use both those instruments — koto, bansuri, dizi, shamisen, shakuhachi, sarangi — and some elemental sounds.

Rabbival507 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Giant... mushroom... maybe it's friendly! Used to be my favorite show as a child, then they make the renewal and drew me off. I'll give your piece a listen. Sounds much more like dragon of the east. Also it sounds much more like something that was inspired by Kung Fu Panda rather than Avatar. Wow, even much more than I expected, it 7/10 Kung Fu Panda and 2/10 Avatar. Piece is nice, you could try to use other things that aren't basic Pentatonic.

Uncle Iroh, was the dragon of the west and the show was written by Americans. *Thus, the title. 14 minutes ago, Rabbival507 said: Wow, even much more than I expected, it 7/10 Kung Fu Panda and 2/10 Avatar. Inspired by the show's aesthetics, not the music. Further, I'd say Kung Fu Panda 3 is actually Zimmer's best score, IMO 15 minutes ago, Rabbival507 said: Piece is nice, you could try to use other things that aren't basic Pentatonic. Thanks! I could, but it wouldn't be as authentic given that traditional Chinese music is famous for penatonic scales, though this is more *westernized.

Though they cut out the good composer so this is the worst ost (best, in my opinion, is 2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day that How To Train Your Dragon lost at the Oscars to "The Social Network" is the day any faith I had in the oscars died =P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
