So, I take it you're still posting at Filmtracks forum... Traitor!

[KK.]

Of course. You can't forget your roots!

 

Sadly I haven't posted there as much as I used to due to my lack of time. But I'll get that fixed soon...

Now i know how the pure, true and honest heartland people of America sound. Thanks, Hans.

[BloodBoal]

Yeah. Poor Americans...

I can detect ZERO relation between the words and that music. Are they certain that IS the track that Mr. Zimmer was referring to?

[Delorean90]

My suspicion is that he was talking about a general approach/philosophy, and they thought, "Well, that describes the score, so that's what to listen for in this complete track!" It's gotta be a mistake. The trailer music sounds much more like it's supposed to relate to that description.

And the bullshitting about Zimmer's so-called "philosophy" in his most recent dull effort begins.

"I wanted the epic sound of the fields and farms stretching past the horizon, of the wind humming in the telephone wires."

 

 

You don't always get what you want... hmmm.

That.

[gkgyver]

I'm sorry, but what Zimmer describes there is everything his music isn't, and Williams' was. How you can get the idea that MoS's droning has anything to do with horizons and farms and wind blowing and the struggle of a character is, frankly, beyond mortal comprehension.

 

Zimmer's mindmasturbation at its best.

Sadly these days Zimmer is far more adept at coming up with bullshit than a decent intelligent score.

 

 

Of course, I'll reserve judgement until I hear the score in the movie but that track just sounds like another tired extension of the Inception/Batman sound which is as far removed from "the fields and farms of America's heartland" as you can get.

Ok...so I decided I don't hate the trailer music

 

This is as close to a compliment Zimmer is getting from me

[Koray Savas]

Never a fan of some of his early work or stuff like "Up Is Down?"

[indy4]

The main theme reminds me of elfman's milk.

Wasn't that a Henry Jackman piece?

[Richard Penna]

Up is Down is good fun, as is much of At World's End. Hard to tell whether Zimmer wrote it.

 

Unfortunately it seems that directors aren't asking him for that brighter material any more.

Amazon's listing for the Vinyl has a giant picture of the drum circle

I wonder if any live instruments were used besides drums?

[Ro Sajooc]

A piano can be heard in this sample.

Oh the theme is by Hans alright. But the "Up is Down" cue in particular was done by Jackman (I believe) using Zimmer's theme, if I'm not mistaken.

 

But yeah, it's a great piece  

[KK.]

Henry Jackman is only one of the many composers who worked on that cue.

[Koray Savas]

Jackman was responsible for it's orchestration, he didn't write it.

[Chaac]

You mean he merely copied the score for someone to play it or that he participated in the writing making decisions on orchestration, harmony, etc?

 

So how many people wrote Up is Down? There must be a list somewhere. I like my tracks correctly tagged.
