This recording dates back to the summer of 2002 and my second trip to Howard Shore's offices... which is why I sound so jumpy! We're watching Fellowship together for the first time, and still trying to get a handle on just how the scores' architecture would function. (Shore was literally in the middle of The Two Towers at the time, having just been writing music for Fangorn Forest earlier the same morning.)

This was an incredibly enjoyable part of the research process, so I thought I'd share it in little bits. Enjoy!
