Tolkien
In 2010 I started J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” unofficial unabridged audiobook. Not only read by me, but with music by Howard Shore (for the film trilogy), and immersive sound effects that provide the written word with a more lifelike experience.
As of 2013, I have completed the entire book, which combined make up 48 hours of listening. Being a one-man venture, this little side-project is not without its errors and minor glitches and mistakes. I have also painted most of the background images on each video frame, and designed each cover.
