Ok, I have watched LOTR about a million times and litstened to the soundtrack that many more times. No doubt Howard Shore did an amazing job portraying the sound of the movie, however you have summed it into this one amazing composistion!! You are awesome.

Question, how did you do it? All on keyboard? Or do you have your own orchestra lol? I am amazed either way. I have been trying to figure out how to compose my own, but there is no way I'd even know where to start!

Advice? Tips?

:)

@coffeechick1989 Unfortunately: i don't have my own orchestra :-) The trick in this case is to use the EWQL orchestra libraries. These are soft-synth containing lots of good samples. I use the midi-output from my synth/keyboard to play and record those samples in midi-format. I use Cakewalk Sonar as a sequencer to record the midi and playback the EWQL SO samples.

Thanks for your comment,

Denny

In some ways better than Shore's original score, in my opinion...

[dennyvelt]

Hey, thanks for your comment. It was not my intention to create 'a better score' than Howard Shore. I like all the original scores i try to 're-score' very much, including LOTR. But thanks anyway :-)

How did you learn orchestration ? You have serious skills.

Hey Denny, Do you compose for films at all? Because I'm an independent filmmaker who would really like to have some music like the kind you make in some of my films. I'm producing a short film that will need some music in the next couple months and if you're interested in doing an original score it would be awesome...It's low budget but there would be some money in it for you.

sound very dark and epic. Sweet composition.
