Listen to "Lothlórien" from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by Howard Shore 800% Slower

"Lothlórien (Featuring The Lament For Gandalf)" from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) composed by Howard Shore, slowed 800%.
Christopher Coleman's insight:

This is a odd, but engaging experiment.  The resulting sound is something that would seem to fit right in with many of today's indie films ... say "Under the Skin"?

Movie music: The 7 greatest film scores ever – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

Movie music: The 7 greatest film scores ever – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog | Soundtrack | Scoop.it

Music has always been at the heart of the movie industry. Even at the Lumiere brothers’ first film screening in 1895, there was a pianist tinkling the ivories. Twenty years later, Fritz Lang’s classic silent film, Metropolis, was accompanied by an original full scale orchestral score. Now, thanks to the wonders of modern mobile tech, we can enjoy movies and their music, wherever and whenever we want. But if you had to choose a play list, which would you go for?

[Video] Man of Steel - Defender of Middle Earth

[Video] Man of Steel - Defender of Middle Earth | Soundtrack | Scoop.it

Something festers at the heart of the Man of Steel teaser...something elusive...something musical....

 

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, whether in front of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES or not, the Christopher Nolan produced, Zach Snyder directed, new, Superman-tale, THE MAN OF STEEL, has a teaser trailer. The visuals are compelling enough (I suppose), but, personally, I'm not looking forward to any shaky-cam-version of Superman. Aside from that, I don't yet find anything too offensive in the trail...oh wait....
