#LORD OF THE RINGS GONDOR THEME ARCHIVE#

The Rarities told two stories, one TolkienвЂ™s, one ShoreвЂ™s. How on Earth could this material be properly presented? We toyed with a number of ideas, but ultimately decided to let Tolkien be our guide.

Fortunately, I was able to space out these review sessions over the course of a year-and-a-half, during which time I catalogued everything I found on CD-Rs, DVDs, and abandoned hard drives, then proceeded to litter ShoreвЂ™s offices with a self-devised system of post-it notes and red markers вЂ¦ a trail of breadcrumbs I could later use to retrace my steps.Д«ut more pressing than the logistical concerns were the creative ones. All in all, it was enough raw audio to keep me in a listening room for a few hundred hours or so. This included every single take from months of recording sessions on Fellowship, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, as well as electronic mock-ups of themes, DVD recording sessions, unused songs and lyrics, etc.
