thestat 344 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Clearly by now, the Hans Zimmer style has influenced all aspects of the contemporary media environment. It can be a force for good or a terrible Orwellian network that entraps you. I am so happy to see people like Cliff Martinez, Max Richter etc emerge as musical thought leaders to undo the stupidity of HZ influenced scores. Now we are seeing this everywhere with composers like Etienne Forget in France or Thorsten Quaeschning doing amazing electro-acoustic work that shames the Balfes of our day that rely only on copysampling and temp tracking for their livelihood. Let's rebel against the stupidity of contemporary scores and look for innovation! I see in this new minimalism a new way to rethink the challenges that HZ brought about and try to make something better out of it than the commercial shit that Balfe for example pumps out with no artistry.

KK 3,307 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Well no. Folks like Richter, even in their non-film work, have clearly been deliberately inspired by the stylings of Zimmer in some form. The man is just a very influential guy, especially in the crossover music realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don't see anything objectionable here, other than the digs at Balfe - there is a trend lately of ragging on him to the point of bullying that makes my skin crawl. Zimmer's music has led to lots of bad copies, there's no doubt. He innovates and everyone else is forced to copy. That's not good for anyone.
