mr. Doug Adams' reaction on my demo

In february this year, I sent my demo to mr. Doug Adams, writer of the upcoming book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films, and writer of the booklets accompaning the Complete Recordings of the music of LOTR. Two of his reactions: 'I have been enjoying your music for a couple of days now. Very well done, sir!' and: 'The good folks of ...are in the process of assembling some LOTR anniversary videos for an upcoming presentation. I've recommended you to them as someone who can write original LOTR-style music.' I'm very honoured!
