If you've ever wished you could walk the streets of Emond’s Field, hear the wind howling through Blighted trees, or stand with Rand on Dragonmount and truly feel the weight of the moment—Jordan Rannells is granting more wishes than the ‘finn. His new Kickstarter project, The Soundscape of Time: Part 2, is a beautifully immersive audio experience that pairs synchronized 3D soundscapes with the official Wheel of Time audiobooks.
It's not just listening. It's weaving sound directly into the soul of the story.
Back the Kickstarter Here KICKSTARTER ENDS MAY 23rd
Aes Sedai-Level Immersion
Jordan Rannells, an award-winning sound designer and audio wizard (likely of the Brown Ajah), has been creating soundscapes for epic fantasy worlds for years—but his Wheel of Time work is an epic undertaking that even Verin might raise an eyebrow at.
These are no ordinary background tracks. His soundscapes are:
-
Chapter-Specific: Each track is tailored to the specific scenes and emotional tone of a chapter.
-
Synced with the audiobooks: Thanks to a custom-built Soundscape Syncing App, your journey through the Westlands will align perfectly with the narration.
-
Built with original music and layered effects: From bubbling creeks in the Two Rivers to the clash of swords at Fal Dara, it’s all meticulously crafted to tug at your thread of the Pattern.
Threads Previously Woven
This isn’t Rannells' first time spinning a yarn with immersive sound. His previous projects include:
-
The Eye Collection: For The Eye of the World
-
The Hunt Collection: For The Great Hunt
-
A Long-Expected Soundscape: For Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings
-
The Hedge Collection: For GRRM’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Each collection offers original scores and handcrafted ambiance—no illusions from a Mirror of Mists, just pure talent and clear love for the source material.
Behind the White Tower Walls
If you're curious about how these soundscapes are woven, Rannells offers fans a peek behind the Warder cloak. His website includes:
-
Composer's Notes and Behind-the-Scenes Videos
-
Ambient Mood Tracks for reading, relaxing, or Tinker-style wandering
-
Chapter Samples for a taste of each world
-
FAQ and App Support to ensure syncing your audiobook experience doesn’t require Aes Sedai assistance
And if you’re hunting for gifts (perhaps for Bel Tine?), his shop even includes gift cards and collector-worthy bundles.
A Silver Penny’s Worth of Support
Here’s the thing—even a pledge of just $1 is a thread that helps strengthen the weave. Every backer contributes to expanding this soundscape beyond the Two Rivers and into the larger world of Randland!.
And for those of us who want to listen while re-reading (or re-re-re-re-re-re-listening), The Soundscape of Time is the perfect companion.
The Pattern Demands It
This Kickstarter isn’t just about audio—it's about honoring a beloved series and making the world of The Wheel of Time more tangible than ever. It's about standing in the Fields of Merrilor and hearing the war horns, or wandering the White Tower with whispers echoing through the halls.
Whether you’re Aiel or Andoran, Cairhienin or Seanchan, Blue Ajah or Black Tower—if the Wheel weaves you toward this project, listen.
Because the Pattern is calling.
And it sounds amazing.
