This month, Jude and Stef interview composer and sound engineer Jordan Rannells about his Tolkien soundscapes. He has already published “A Long-Expected Soundscape” that is comprised of over 60 hours of music and 3D sound design to accompany Andy Serkis’ audiobook narration of The Lord of the Rings. Jordan’s newest project, “An Unexpected Soundscape & A Soundscape of Eä” is currently kickstarting, so make sure to back it before October 13! Thank you, Jordan, for joining us!
