Recording of Federico García Lorca's "Adivinanza de la guitarra" plus translation

Pippin's song in the film is only a fraction of the poem as written by Tolkien. It all comes from the last stanza, though some lines are skipped, and some are slightly rewritten.

Lyrics sung in movie:
Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall fade


A walking song (LOTR) (vocals)

Below is the code I used to make this sound in Sonic Pi. It's mostly some frightening, long held sound. Zero-post processing, all done live. 

live_loop :hellsounds do
  loop do
  #  sync :x
    use_synth :supersaw
    #play rrand(40,60), attack: 1.5, sustain: 1, amp: 1.65, release: 0.80, decay: 2.5, cutoff: rrand(60,120)
    use_synth :fm
  #  play [48,58].choose, attack: 2.5, sustain: 2.5
    sleep 1
  end
end

Uncanny Mix 0001 with Hellsounds

A recording of some poetry called "Ask Not What Poetry Can Do For You", subtitled "Anxiety" - the track artwork is the art of the lovely Tara / Anathema Device. The recording and editing and vocals were all done by me. 
This poem can be found in a collection of poems called Degree to Starboard, as well on display at the Art From The Edge Gallery.
