[Ainaserkewen]

Music pulses through my veins at every moment, every sound of movement I hear are my muses for when I write my melodies down. After all, sounds are the soundtrack of life.
Middle-earth is an especially good place to find beautiful sounds, musics, poetries and anything else that inspires and soothes the soul. When I'm writing, I often think of the long rolling hills of the shire or the bleak, stone silent walls of Gondor. The pictures inspire my writing, and my music gives the pictures more depth and colour.

Mostly I play brass instruments, so if I do write for them, and my theme is something middle-earthish, I tend to write broad fanfares that I imagine would be played by the silver trumpets of Gondor, praising the new morning. I do play piano as well, where all my music is originally born. I don't write much for piano, but if I did, I believe I would write some kind of piano/violin duet, and it would be inspired, I think, Ithilien, it's cool trees playing the voice-like melodies of the violin, and the piano being the wind that gently caresses and pushes the tree melody.

I also sing...and I love the great pure voices on the FOTR soundtrack, I love to sing along with the music.

If anything reminds me more of middle-earth, it's celtic. It's the green fields and the fast running rivers that sing the bright clean uplifting melodies of celtic.

This topic is totally up my alley, loved participating.
