The White Phoenix

Thank you for checking out my work!

║ If you look closely at the sky, you might catch a glimpse of
║ a flying white phoenix. Legend says it carries its white coat
║ as a symbol of peace, found after its flame has passed.

This take on 'freedom' is meant to capture the different emotions that come with and after hardship - joy, relief, bittersweetness, nostalgia.

The jam's prompt and image's color & bird inspired the 'white pheonix' concept, drawn in Sketchbook, to try to symbolize a bit of personal meaning - difficult experiences can be intense but also very instructive and lead to growth and peace. In this version, its white color in place of fire denotes peace and freedom.

Musically, my inspiration came from the artcore and cinematic styles, with an Eastern tone and bit of bossa nova. I found one main motif, intended to be fluid in how it develops and visits different emotions, with a few sections having a general focus.

0:00 - Joy / Playful
0:44 - Expansiveness
1:30 - Soaring, empowerment
1:50 - Free, calm

With more time, I'd focus on mixing / filling gaps especially in the final section and add instruments / longer sections--but I'm happy with what I've gotten to and learned in the time.

Fl Studio was used for composing and mixing/mastering, and most libraries from orchestral tools (check out their student discount or their new free orchestral library if this interests you!)
