Tale of Creation I. Yru Urman T´was at the dawn of all we know that Eru bade the Ainür to be Ending an eternity of solitude one Lord of all foresee The coming of the ages hence, a firmament, a place to be revealed Eä could emerge, containing Arda and his children thus concealed Music of the Ainür held the key to make the vision real for all And in the heavens shone a jewelled host, hidden was the flame to call And all we know from before time and a future yet to be unsealed The life of all, the land, the sea, the light, the dark and all that one can yield Yru urman sellu Yru urman Eä Yru urman femeru Yru heeluen The Ainür made a music as had never been before so great to hear We sense the presence of the music all around us But one of their great brethren sought to dominate replacing love with fear A sense of darkness filled the minds of all there gathered Striking power tumult ensued, calling now his own kind to him near He called them unto him proclaiming now his own theme Until Eru, the Lord of All arose declaring themes anew and clear So clear we hear the beauty all around us now The Ainür saw Eä and knew the plan for them to toil and make it real A vision held the key to making Eä real For time it had begun to realise the form and life itself to feel Eru had sent the secret fire out into the void Never since was any sound or music so great made in any time It filled the timeless halls and out into the void Though it is said that when days end a greater music still will sound and climb The three great themes of Eru will be performed aright II. In His Mystery From silence came a sound, a vibration of love Flowing through emptiness, into form Taking Shape is what we see, it´s what we understand now Shaping our world, form Eä, making all Touch, touch reach out, feel the universe Fly like a bird into the void To see the truth in the shining stars Seeing only truth, knowing why Mysteries of your world, whispers of time Through infinity, feel divine Oh now I see, I am the mystery The universe is all in me Touch, touch reach out, feel the universe Fly like a bird into the void In his mystery, in his mystery iii. Hearken And now hearken to the music from the void.

Here are some of the responses we´ve had so far:

"you´re just enveloped by the music, even in the quietest moments"

"Lush sounding"

"the sound feels like it´s around you and just part of the air"

"Unique, the music stands on it´s own"

“Just watched the entire album video. It´s a masterpiece!”

“Thank you so much for the album video link. I have watched it and I think that it´s brilliant”

“sounds great, as are the visuals, can´t guess how many hours work went into it”

“Very Epic and Powerfull with cool Arrangements (Sounds like a Filmscore from Hans Zimmer) and with a great sound!!”

“I just let it drift over me, it is an amazing album, stunning”

“After listening to it on bandcamp I was very impressed. The music reminds me a bit of The Enid plus I hear some Oldfield-like guitar parts”

Music From The Void is based on J.R.R. Tolkien´s musical creation myth called Ainulindalë (first published in 1977 as the first chapter of the Silmarillion). The album includes orchestral, choral, world music and progressive rock elements that will appeal to fans of J.R.R.Tolkien, orchestral, choral and progressive rock music. The album includes over one hour of music and is the most ambitious project I have ever undertaken including performances and collaborations with several guest musicians and singers.

For any of you that are not familiar with the Ainuldalë, here is a short version in our own words:

´In the beginning Eru, the One, Lord of all and keeper of the Flame Imperishable dwelt alone in the Timeless Halls beyond the Void. Eru created the Ainür, the first and mightiest of spiritual beings, into life, giving each form and character of his own design. At the beginning of all thought was music first made by the Ainür.

It came to pass that Eru gathered together all the Ainür and a great music was made. The music took form as three great themes proclaimed to the Ainür by Eru. The Ainür, each offering their own character to the pure essence in development of each Theme, augmented each into a great musical work.

But with the declaration of each theme, Melkor, chief amongst the Ainür in knowledge and might, sought to create discord and to corrupt all to his own thought and meaning, ever striving for dominance. In this act was malevolence and contempt first discerned.

In this great music was fashioned a vision of Eä, Arda and the whole of creation spanning the ages of time. The vision shone before the Ainür.

In this great music was all designed and by Eru´s gift of the Flame Imperishable and the endless toil of the Ainür in the long ages since, was all created and given form and life, set amidst the innumerable stars.

Never since has any music so great been heard, though it is said that after the end of days a greater music still will take form and that the Ainür and the Children of Eru shall declare the three great themes of Eru aright and that all will take being anew at their sound.

Eine musikalische Interpretation von J.R.R. Tolkiens Ainulindë von Max Hunt.

Mit jedem Kauf dieses Albums wird auch ein EXKLUSIVES IMMERSIVES VIDEO in Form eines nicht öffentlichen Youtube-Links gekauft, der nur beim Kauf eines vollständigen Albums (digital und CD) verfügbar ist. Das Video enthält das gesamte Album mit mehr Informationen, Texten und eindringlichen Grafiken, die dem Zuhörer ein noch erfüllenderes Erlebnis bieten.

Music From The Void basiert auf J.R.R. Tolkiens musikalischem Schöpfungsmythos namens Ainulindalë (erstmals veröffentlicht 1977 als erstes Kapitel des Silmarillion). Das Album enthält Orchester-, Chor-, Weltmusik und Progressive-Rock-Elemente, die Fans von J.R.R.Tolkien, Orchester-, Chor- und Progressive-Rock-Musik ansprechen werden. Das Album umfasst über eine Stunde Musik und ist das ehrgeizigste Projekt, das ich je unternommen habe, einschließlich Auftritten und Kollaborationen mit mehreren Gastmusikern und Sängern.

Für alle, die mit Ainuldalë nicht vertraut sind, hier eine Kurzversion in unseren eigenen Worten.

´Am Anfang lebte Eru, der Eine, Herr über alles und Hüter der unvergänglichen Flamme, allein in der Leere. Er erschuf die Ainür, Geister, die als Nachkommen seines Denkens Gestalt annahmen. Am Anfang aller Gedanken und Zeiten stand die Musik, die zuerst von Eru & the Ainür gemacht wurde.

Es begab sich, dass Eru alle Ainür versammelte und eine großartige Musik entstand, wie man sie noch nie zuvor oder seitdem gehört hatte. Die Musik nahm Form als drei große Themen an, die von Eru dem Ainür erklärt wurden. Jedes Thema wurde erweitert, wobei jedes seine eigene einzigartige Inspiration und seinen eigenen Charakter bietet, die aus der reinen Essenz jedes Themas entstehen.

Aber mit der Erklärung jedes Themas versuchte Melkor, der Anführer unter den Ainür in Bezug auf Wissen und Macht, Zwietracht zu schaffen und alles seinem eigenen Denken zu unterwerfen, immer nach Vorherrschaft strebend. So wurde Bosheit und Verachtung zuerst Beachtung geschenkt.

In dieser großartigen Musik wurde eine Vision von allem geschaffen, was war, ist und sein wird. Eä, Arda und die gesamte Schöpfung vom Anfang bis zum Ende der Zeit leuchteten als Vision in der Leere vor den Ainür. In dieser großartigen Musik war alles erdacht und durch Erus Gabe der unvergänglichen Flamme und der endlosen Mühe der Ainür in den längst vergangenen Zeiten wurde alles erschaffen und Form und Leben gegeben und inmitten dernunzähligen Sterne gesetzt.

Niemals zuvor wurde eine so großartige Musik gemacht, obwohl gesagt wird, dass nach dem Ende der Tage noch eine größere Musik Form annehmen wird und dass die Ainür und die Kinder von Eru die drei großen Themen von Eru richtig aufführen werden und dass alles aufs
Neue in ihrem Klang andauern wird.´
