Yang Lee is a versatile composer, specializing in melodies but also skilled with vocals, which add softness and "freedom" to his music. Of all the team members, I believe he is the most similar to Yu-Peng Chen, sharing traits like strong winds, violin chords, gentle flute, vocals and a love for melodic leitmotifs.
Even though they share similarities, both have their own distinct style. The difference in styles already starts with how the two use the piano. Both like solo piano, but when other instruments are included, YPC often uses the piano as a key harmonic support throughout the entire track, while Yang Lee tends to use it only in specific moments of his songs, preferring to provide harmonic support with other instruments or synth. And while YPC’s piano is melancholic and beautiful, Yang Lee’s is sweet and gentle.
In almost all of his tracks, Yang Lee incorporates synths (some similar to those used by Ziyu Che), which makes his overworld music feel more cinematic or decorative with synthesizers.
But where Yang Lee truly stands out is in his powerful musical melodies, with vocals that elevate the emotion by expressing a sense of freedom. Not only in his musical variety but in the feelings his music evokes. His compositions are epic and intense, even when they are beautiful or calm, as Yang Lee’s pieces often feel hopeful and bright—especially thanks to his use of vocals.
His music often begins with low, deep notes and slowly rises, adding higher and higher tones. Before you realize it, the epicness has lifted the track to soaring heights, as if it’s on a never-ending upward crescendo. It sounds heroic... as if it's reaching for the skies.
Yang Lee's music is dramatic and strong, featuring violin chords, and he likes to use timpani and crash cymbals to create epic musical tension, all while expressing the freedom, heroic, sweetness, gentleness, and vastness of the world.
