Composer and sound engineer Jordan Rannells<\/a> (who you might recall from his acclaimed The Lord of the Rings ambient audio soundscape<\/a> project) has just released a new, immersive work designed to synchronise with Andy Serkis\u2019s unabridged audiobook reading of The Silmarillion<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project, called The Soundscape of E\u00e4<\/em>, follows The Silmarillion\u2019s full journey from the Music of the Ainur and the formation of the world, through the wars of Beleriand, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rannels says that the new soundscape is timed to exactly match Serkis’s audiobook reading, and combines foley audio, original music, ambient nature recordings, and carefully timed sound effects, all engineered in Dolby Atmos to deliver a 3D immersive audio journey through J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Middle-earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is not just a bit of added music: it changes how we can experience these stories,” he says. “We get to hear the song of the Ainur. The hissing and darkness of Ungoliant, and the might of Ancalagon in the War of Wrath.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
