Hey folks,
Yesterday I got a little bit of recording done for the Lego Silmarillion short film. I've had a very productive month on the recording front. It's a blast.
Also, I began a new theme for Luthien. I have a mix up here. I'm very excited about this piece. I anticipate this will be played on the next Silmarillion Symphony release.
I'm in the planning phase for the next album, and deciding on some crowdfunding ideas.
I would also love to get a Q&A with fans done sometime in the very near future. If you are interested in something like this, please get in touch at The Silmarillion Symphony facebook page.

A little preview of what I'm working on...
Hi all.
I was planning a video for this weeks update. I have the footage, but alas no time to edit it. Perhaps another day. Instead - here's a sneak peak into a piece I'm working on that will be in the Lego Silmarillion film and likely the next Silmarillion Symphony album.

Best wishes,
Aaron

Project Updates
This week I've been working on both recording and planning for future (hopefully) live realisations of The Silmarillion Symphony.
The recording is underway for the upcoming Beren and Luthien stop motion Lego film. It's going to take some time and some video skill, but it looks like I'll be able to have footage up of myself recording some material. You'll get to see my home made cello's in effect. I hesitate to describe them as handcrafted because, well...
On the other side of my composition process, I've doing some copyist work on my scores as I go along. I have to prepare horn and cello parts anyhow, so I might as well do the rest I suppose. Hopefully I'll be able to have an orchestra play and record a few of the pieces this year.
Looking forward to sharing more and more good news with you this year.

A new year with new news!
Welcome to 2016. I'm happy to have you join me on my continuing journey with The Silmarillion Symphony. Here's a couple big things I'm working on this year:
Lego The Silmarillion
In August of last year, I signed on with The Guildmaster Studio to score their stop motion short film Beren and Luthien. The project has since morphed from a single movie project, into 3 short films. Filming is beginning shortly. Release date TBD. I have a short video below of my journey as the composer.

The Silmarillion Symphony, Part 2
This one's been a long time coming, and it's a project I'm really looking forward to. My previous album "The Deeps of Time" left off around the time when the Noldor leave Valinor. Part 2 will include pieces from there to the end of Beren and Luthien.
I'm really looking forward to this exciting year of Middle-Earth themed magic. I hope that you'll follow along. I'd love if you'd purchase my first album - it's a great support to me and the project! It is available here to be purchased.
Best wishes,

A very Merry Christmas!
A very Merry Christmas to all!
I want to say thank you to all of you who've kept up with the Silmarillion Symphony journey. I'm amazed that it's been almost two years of working on this.
As a gift to you, and indeed a show of gratitude, I have recorded a Christmas album. You can listen via soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/aarondunnbassist/sets/the-christmas-album) or you can download the album from silmarillionsymphony.bandcamp.com.
Stay posted in the coming weeks and month - there's exciting news to come. I should have a video up about a youtube film I'm composing for around New Year's Eve. This film has a great deal of music that will be featuring in The Silmarillion Symphony's second release.
Merry Christmas, and don't forget to go grab the Christmas Album while it's in season!

Beren and Luthien
Where has all the time gone!
I am currently working on a few projects and they are progressing well. The most exciting news is that I am composing music for Beren and Luthien from The Silmarillion. I can't wait to start sharing some of the pieces. I hope by end of December to get them posted.
In the mean time, thank you everyone for getting on the Facebook page, and to those of you who've picked up the album.
Be sure to check into my soundcloud, which will be hosting a little Christmas special this year as well as other Silmarillion related pieces.
