Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hm. Most recently, 12 Years A Slave, Son of God/The Bible, in general most of the Dreamworks stuff....Also any group efforts that are lazy group efforts instead of fun group efforts.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's just frustrating that these low order commoners enjoy bland and banal scores like ET more than the rich, innovative, complex and melodic scores of Hands Simmer.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It might be that I heard it done by a much better orchestra, or that they might have used a slightly different arrangement, or that it's just a poor recording, but this doesn't really hold a candle to what I heard last year. Any way, this should give you a general idea of what these scores could sound like without all the pointless sample meddling. What I would give for a truly orchestral re-recording of Dead Man's Chest. The Davy Jones theme is probably my favorite of Zimmer's career, the Kraken material (at least how I heard it performed in St. Louis last year) is just raw, manic gusto, and the new "Drunk Jack" theme fits the character perfectly.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 That "pointless sample meddling" is what makes them sound the way they do.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 "I originally intended the Gladiator score to be 100% orchestral. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, I was forced to resort to cheap synths and mix the music in such a way to make the orchestra sound larger than it actually was", Zimmer told us. "Given the opportunity, I definitely would have preferred not to use any electronical instrument" he said, with regret in his voice...

bollemanneke 3,364 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Here's a question for people who know the Sherlock Holmes score inside out. Rumour has it that there is a suite which wasnot included in the recording sessions. Some person on another website claims its running time is 8:51, but I just can't find the suite anywhere. Is it an OST track? Is there any more SFX-free music not on the sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, I agree. Some of his more delicate, small-scale scores make me wonder if he would do a quaint bit of chamber scoring for this. Could be nice. And how funny that one might expect such a score from Zimmer, yet Desplat is the one in danger of delivering loud blandness! Yates doesn't know how to handle music. Desplat, it seems, goes along with that. Zimmer wouldn't be so compliant, I feel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
