The Magic Piano
This 3D animated musical
fantasy
from
BreakThru Films celebrates the genius
of
Fryderyk Chopin.
I
wrote the
screenplay and arranged the
musical
score, drawing from the kaleidoscopic world of Chopin's études –
performed dazzlingly in the film
by piano superstar Lang Lang 郎朗.
The amazing
stop-motion animation is directed by Martin
Clapp. I also
directed
Lang Lang and Heather Graham
in the companion live-action adventure of
the feature-length release The
Flying Machine. |

out its
lyricsm
