#10: Howard Shore – Early works in 80s films before Lord of the Rings
Before hobbits and orcs entered the picture, Shore was cutting his teeth on smaller dramas and thrillers in the 80s. Those films gave him a chance to experiment with atmosphere, layering instruments so that tension built slowly. Hearing these early works now feels like spotting a young artist at work, already reaching for the tools he would later use to create Middle-earth’s vast soundscape in collaboration with Peter Jackson’s drive and vision.
