WHITE SNAKE TRILOGY 白蛇三部曲 - CD BOXSET

Soundtrack Magazine proudly presents a CD box set of composer Haowei Guo’s original mention picture score composed for the White Snake trilogy, produced by Light Chaser Animation Studio between 2019 and 2024. This release includes music from all three films: White Snake, Green Snake, and White Snake: Afloat. The trilogy introduces a fresh imagination to the Chinese traditional folklore, narrating a love story that spans thousands of years.

In these films, Haowei Guo combines traditional music elements with symphonic arrangements, interwoven with the musical narrative theme “Why Ask.” Despite incorporating a more modern sound template in Green Snake, the emotional core of the music remains consistent throughout. In addition to music previously available via streaming platforms, this special CD set also includes several previously unreleased cues and a 60-page booklet, which includes an exclusive interview between album producer QIU Yang and composer Haowei Guo in both Chinese and English, along with never-before-seen sketches and cue sheets. YANG Jie, the mixing engineer of the trilogy’s music, has remastered the tracks specifically for CD release. The complete packaging art was designed by artist LU Yutong and his team.

This initial edition of this CD box set is limited to 500 copies, each individually numbered with unique foil stamping for collections.
