With summer around the corner...

I've been having a wonderful weekend off, spending time with family and friends. It's always good to take a little time for things that really matter. I've been doing a lot of work in my studio the past few weeks, trying to improve my composing space. The results have been wonderful as today I was able to spend a good chunk of time scoring a scene for the upcoming Lego Silmarillion short film.

The reel looks awesome so far, and we are almost at locked picture. I have most of the scenes and I'm really looking forward to sharing the music with you this summer. It's amazing what working on a film can do for your craft if you really dig deep.

I've had so much fun writing themes, reharmonising themes, and even recycling older ones. The most exciting byproduct of all this? I'll have a ton of new material for The Silmarillion Symphony going forward. It looks like I have a few long days and nights of recording ahead of me.

Some fun news

I've been working away on Beren and Luthien quite a bit these past weeks. This score is really coming along nicely. I've made the Prologue from Beren and Luthien streamable on soundcloud. Check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/aarondunnbassist/prologue

Also, I received notice that my interview with Dr. Julian Eilmann has been published in the German school magazine 'Erebor'. I will be publishing the English translation shortly. I am beyond grateful for the support of Dr. Eilmann and his class!

As always, I really appreciate any sharing you can do via social media. It really helps!
