Memories of the Old Academy

by The Sorcerer

supported by

Kaptain Carbon Adorned with artwork from 90’s CCG and festooned with rich escapist tropes, The Sorcerer is a wild embrace of the genre that doesn’t merely intend to imitate rather express oneself in the realms of the magical. I say this while accepting the bedroom qualities of the music as I feel the tone and composition of these tracks are part and parcel to a solo composer making music for dreams. Favorite track: Chamber I: Hall of the Crystal Ampoules.

about

It has been a long time since the academy was destroyed by Saevlin's dark forces. Now, the sorcerer is looking for the place where it once grew. There, only the ruins consumed by time are the memory of the ancient glory. But the sorcerer has a secret that has been handed down to him by his masters: distorting the timeline to see the past through the eyes of his ancestors. He needs his magic, but also the right place and power.
As in a vision, the sorcerer manages to penetrate the folds of time and enter the academy, chamber after chamber, to seek the secret hidden in the destruction of the academy and what has made Saevlin so powerful in the past...

For such a prolific artist, the consistent quality of releases in Elminster’s catalog is truly impressive. Mountain Specter takes the listener on a pensive trek through fogbathed forests and misty crags. Soft dreamy pads and sparse plucked strings leave plenty of space for the mind to wander. mahrgdidj

I

An almost light hearted journey that instills a strong sense of adventure. Catchy melodies are accompanied by just enough percussion as the nocturnal knight heads forward on their quest. A great collection of tunes. barleybase
