KeepMoving Records presents limited edition CD release of the animated movie The Magic Tower. Wizard of Balance by Dmitry Rybnikov.
Inspired by the real life historical building of the Sukharev Tower, The Magic Tower tells the story of a young magician’s apprentice who must wander into the Magical Worlds. There he must get magical ink from snake venom, dragon skin parchment, and a steel pen from the Great Griffin in order to restore his master’s magical power before his nemesis could strike.
The richly layered score offers highly engaging thematic material for the three magical objects as well as a memorably menacing theme for The Violet Wizard, a powerful enemy who has a personal score to settle at the Magic Tower. The extended composition process starting with the storyboards allowed the composer to create the best possible version of each cue with such a luxurious schedule. The score is a true fantasy tour de force, waiting to be discovered.
The liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score with comments from the composer as well.
