It's been an inspiring journey for me as an artist over these years. Believe me when I say that the music publicly available is only the tips of the iceberg. And I greatly appreciate your audience as one who is growing in their craft and bent on improving day by day.
For this year I still hope on having a soundtrack to release in the short film trilogy "Lego Silmarillion: Beren and Luthien", so there should be new music out this year. I still have to mine the text a little more for films two and three, but there should be thirty minutes of new material.
I have also undertaken composing themes for Gondolin, as you might have heard in my preview video. I'm planning on taking a long time to get that together. This is quite possibly the story that is most dear to me given its many-faceted and far reaching trajectories in the book.
If I was to assign a vague order to the whole project thus far, it would go like this:
Ep. 1: The Deeps of Time
Ep. 2: The Fall of Fingolfin
Symphony 3: Beren and Luthien
Symphony 4: Gondolin
Past these I do not know which of the other stories would come next. Obviously the Children of Hurin (of which I have sketches) is absolutely essential to the saga, so I will need to give that a proper treatment. I will have to get rolling on the War of Wrath as well. And who could forget the Unnumbered Tears (sketches here too)...
That's not even all that I have planned. It'll be enough for one blog.
Thank you again, to those of you who have contributed art, musicianship, marketing, money and general good vibes. I've really been blessed by all of this.
Best wishes,
Aaron
