This score has beguiled me.
Something about the music, in conjunction with the plot synopsis in the notes, has conjured a film in my mind that really sets my imagination soaring.
An old man with wings (possibly a fallen angel) is found near a town in the mountains and taken in by the townspeople, but his presence is met with various emotions, from fear and mistrust to disdain. Only a young boy offers him any friendship or hope.
I'm not sure if I ever want to see the film, as the one I see in my mind, as I listen to the music, is probably way more vivid.
The score is dominated by two main themes, both written in a style that recall the best of Ennio Morricone. Not so much any copying of themes, but the phrasings and instrumentation.
This score has really piqued my interest in the music by this composer.
Anyone else heard or aware of it?

I don’t know this score in particular but I do know and admire the composer for other scores of his (going all the way back to his *two decade old* video game score Sea Dogs), so thanks for the heads up and the recommendation as always, Kev!

I think the Ennio-isms you allude to comes from the woodwind in the opening and closing tracks(especially).To my ears it's a bit of red tentyness. Still lovely stuff mind you.
Has anyone mentioned Vanechka, yet.The opening track is a whopper.second a bit more classical sounding with piano solo.As it's much of the score.(it's getting a spin as a result of this threads rise)

Thor was kind enough to send me Vanechka on CD for the price of postage and packing, when he saw me chatting about Y-Pot scores in another thread and mentioned he wanted shut of his copy.
I spun it twice and really liked it and I reckon it's due another spin shortly.

When I first mentioned the Ennio Morricone vibe above, I've since discovered the link of that theme, to my mind, is similar to EM's ORCA theme, but not in any overt or obvious way. It just conjures that melody in my head.
I'd go with the red tent but not the love theme.

KeV, here is the End Credtis music (It's also the Main Title if I remember correctly) from 1st "The Inhabited Island" movie. Have you heard this one? If not, check it, I think you'll like it

I'll dig out my RED TENT CD, Damian, and see if I can hear what you hear..
It's a snippet from the main title. Plus they share a similar sombre mood.
