Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Same thing as in Dennis Steals The Embryo which Williams notates as "synth boo bams." It's one of those classic 80s keyboard synth sounds no doubt, but which, I'm not sure. It's a little bit like the low register of the DX7 marimba. Maybe an Akai thing.

RedBard 71 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hmm... That Nixon sample sounds like an African pitched percussion instrument.Possibly a large kalimba (I can distinctly hear a slight "twanging" after the attack and during the sustain of each note).

Jilal 569 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Anyone else think Zimmer's theme for Jack Sparrow bears an uncannily similarity to the opening measures of Mozart's Requiem in d-moll? The orchestration is very much alike and the first three chords appear to be identical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Both are in d minor and have that bum-BUM quality. There, the similarity ends. Jack's theme ain't plodding and funereal, and there's a hell of a lot more low brass there than Mozart would have dreamt of. And I hear no parallels in harmony past the first tonic.

Jilal 569 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Very much alike might have been an overstatement, but it's quite clear, as in, the low strings play on the downbeat and higher strings on the upbeat. It's interesting to note as well that not all statements of this phrase of Jack's theme feature the brass section - e.g. the first statement in the series, near the end of Curse of the Black Pearl's 1M6 Captain Jack Sparrow, does not.
