20 years ago David Arkenstone recorded Music Inspired by Middle Earth Vol. l. “As I’ve always been inspired by Tolkien’s books and his stories are still such a part of my life, I was excited to revisit this world again,” David says. The result is Music Inspired by Middle Earth Vol. lI.
“I treated the album as if I was composing the movie in my head I wanted to score,” continues David.

The album is available on Bandcamp.
