July 9, 20187 yr 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.
July 9, 20187 yr 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.

John Powell is great. 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
