Another member of the team

Today I'd like to feature another of the mainstay people on The Silmarillion Symphony. She's played trumpet and flute on my work, and was an editor on the first album. I speak of course of Darlene Dunn, who is also my mom. She's been tremendous support to these works of mine. She'll be playing trumpet on the upcoming album, as well as contributing some art work. As I've already heard the trumpet tracks, which I am quite pleased with, I'm very grateful for her contributions in all facets of the project.

Today I also received the live strings for The Fall of Fingolfin. I'm thrilled. Going to recording horn the next two days as well as string bass. It's a busy time here. But exciting. Can't wait to get to show some more previews.

An inside look

So today was recording day 1 for "The Fall of Fingolfin"!
I was thrilled to have my good friend Mason Perkins (masonperkins.com) playing percussion for me today and contributing his considerable nous to the project. Many thanks Mason! 

This yesr's album continues to pick up speed, as yesterday I sent off string parts for live musicians. So we're very much on schedule for the Christmas deadline. 

Would love if you'd share about The Silmarillion Symphony on facebook, twitter or whatever social media you like to use. 

Best wishes!
