Join us through the Middle-Earth, come with us and meet Elves, Wizards, and Dwarves, fight with us for the freedom of the good ones, and help us to destroy the One Ringwe are waiting for you. REVIEWS I listened to the film music samples. By far the best for me was the Rivendell one it has personality, and a good melody. " Rolfe Kent (Film Music Composer) "Your music works very well. You use of orchestral sounds is good. I especially like the Lord of the Rings track." Guy Gross (Film Music Composer) "Had a listen to the piece and was very impressed. I'm a secondary school music teacher and so I know what I'm saying when I say that it evokes images of Tolkien's book precisely. It is very 'moody' and 'sinister' and uses good instrumental texture to evoke these feelings. Well done !!! " Graham (Music Theacher) "I was visiting your site and had a listen into some of your tracks and i am very amazed from what i have heard,because you are a very talented artist !! it would be a nice think when we find the possibility maybe to collaborate with eachother sometimes...yeah..it will be a very coll albumi think !" Amir Baghiri (Composer) "...The twelve tracks show his excellent command of the instrument, both for the effects and for the arrangement choice...Kristian has got a good ability to create emotional environments, so he could be suited to compose soundtracks or at least music for images." Review of CD "No Drugs or Nuclear weapons allowed inside" by Italian Magazine "Metal Shock" Sounds from Middle Earth_ is an eclectic work, embracing a variety of musical styles to evoke selected sites along the cursus of the trilogy. Although some of the pieces strive for an “orchestral” sound through recourse to electronically generated analogues, Sensini is most successful when he makes a virtue of simplicity, concentrating on the gradual, unadorned development of melodies. The result is a meditative journey that gently invites the listener to participate in the imaginative process. Sensini's minimalism is also effective when he introduces ambient background noise, which adds an appropriately unnerving feel to his “One Ring” theme. The same can be said of “Mordor,” an entirely percussive piece featuring an eerie electronic reverberation that sounds like it came from a John Carpenter soundtrack. With “Lothlorien” Sensini takes an unexpected turn to world music, with ethnic drums and other interesting acoustical accompaniment to his flute baseline. My first reaction to this was “That doesn't sound like Lothlorien.” Then I reconsidered: “At least it doesn't sound like every _other_ synthesizer-laden Lothlorien song I've ever heard! Sensini's originality turned out to be quite refreshing. "Beyond Bree" Tolkien Fanzine Eccolo, si ancora lui, Il Signore Degli Anelli.Chiudi gli occhi e ti sembra quasi di sentire il suono di quel viaggio: la Contea, Minas Tirith, il Monte Fato…Sembra quasi un sogno, ma per qualcuno diventa anche realtà: ecco questo è il viaggio di Frodo visto da Kristian Sensini intitolato Sounds From Middle Earth a cui a lavorato per 4 anni.Tra note di un pentagramma,avanza tintinnando sulle gocce dei tasti di un pianoforte il cerchio dell’Anello maledetto. Le forze di Sauron si avvicinano, mentre i canti e la gioia dei respiri dei flauti della Contea si tingono a festa per Bilbo,ma l’ora di partire è gia vicina e tra la tranquillità di Rivendell e il canto d’augurio dei tamburi di Lothlorien. È tempo di andare e tra una nota e l’altra le strade di elfi,hobbit, uomini e nani si divideranno: ognuno per compiere la sua missione sulla strada ci saranno a amici e insidie da affrontare, una grande tempesta prima di giungere ai calmi Porti Grigi… Quello di Kristian Sensini è un raffinato viaggio strumentale nel mondo tolkeniano: una grande epopea riassunta sulle note di 9 brani strumentali che mescolano musica classica e tradizione celtica in una miscela che riesce a donare un grande senso visivo di ogni nota, basta chiudere gli occhi e veder scorrere davanti a sé tra melodie di flauto traverso e pianoforte tutta la magia de Il Signore Degli Anelli.
