BloodBoal 7,538 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sonically, this treatment of America comes across via a grouping of pedal steel guitars (instead of the usual string section), banging titanium and steel sculptures, and organizing "a who's who of drummers" in a 12-member drum circleSounds sonically epic to me!

Donna Lackluster 23 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 So, as far as I can tell, Zimmer is giving Superman the "post-POTC", Sherlock Holmestreatment.Rooted in his Midwest character (or at least upbringing), it's going to be a post-post-modern riff on folk music elements with prominent drumming and steel guitars.And it will be light.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He will credit all the additional composers and orchestrators.Zimmer does not use ghost writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilal 569 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Of course he will. He's one of the most respectable composers of our age.Unlike Williams, who (absurdly) doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Sonically, this treatment of America comes across via a grouping of pedal steel guitars (instead of the usual string section), banging titanium and steel sculptures, and organizing "a who's who of drummers" in a 12-member drum circle, including Jason Bonham, Sheila E. and Pharrell Williams. "The great thing about Superman is that everybody loves Superman," Zimmer said with a laugh. "It's very easy making the call and saying, 'Hey, can you come?' I remember phoning Pharrell and him saying, 'I'm right in the middle of producing the Beyonce album in Miami.' 'Jason Bonham's in Miami, and he's getting on a plane!' Next morning, there's Pharrell, looking a little bleary-eyed."Hmm....sounds like the score will be lining on ambiance and country sounds, considering the supposed replacement of the string section.I'm being very presumptuous but that's my guess. It doesn't sound like I'll be falling in love with what stuff he'll be bringing to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Please tell me that was just a mistake about replacing the usual string section. But, hey, at least Zimmer knows that if there's one thing we need in a Superman score, it's a by God drum circle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 This is going to be really special, I know it.Disclaimer for Koray:Hans Zimmer writes all the music for his scores himself. He doesn't have ghostwriters, assistants nor does he ever farm cues out to other employees of his company. He is just that talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my problem with everyone's posts, judging the entire score based on nothing.I'm not judging the entire score, it's my impression of that demo only. My fear is that the entire score might be in general boring like that with a highlight here and there.I remember some of the trailer music by Zimmer for The Dark Knight Rises. I liked it, it made me strangely hopeful that there'd something cool done with the third entry in tone or style. Which didn't actually happen at all, but still.
