Jay 37,373 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 lolYou talked about the pressure of reinventing Batman's themes. Was it even more challenging to tackle Superman, with the John Williams legacy?I seized up completely for three months. I went into complete, 'Oh my god, it's John Williams and it's brilliant and I have no idea what to do' mode! This is where you need strong directors who sit you down and say things like, "But Hans, it's just another movie. Get real!" And encourage you and cheer you on and hold your hand and suddenly you start having an idea, just a little idea out of the corner of your eye and you start following it down that path and the next thing you know, a couple of other ideas join in and you've got a theme, a tone, a style and you're doing something completely different.I love working with Zack (Snyder) - like the Scott brothers - he's a great visual artist. So while the conversation is going on, he's drawing the theme in front of your eyes on a napkin or piece of paper. And they're fearless. You go, "I've got this crazy idea about eight pedal guitars and 12 drummers" and they go, "Great! When can I hear it?" And in a funny way, it went from being absolutely, completely intimidated by the baggage of the John Williams tune to being completely liberating by thinking, 'What did he do? Lots of snare drums and trumpets, and it's a fanfare, a very objective thing', so if I start off by taking away some of those things from the palette and create my own, I'm already going to do something different. Our style is very different, of course. The movie is different, the story is being told differently.It's still a little intimidating because it's a reinvention. But Sherlock Holmes was a reinvention, Batman was a reinvention, and now Man Of Steel is. Plus I'm on Lone Ranger, so doing Rush with Ron Howard was great recently because no-one had done that one before! I wasn't following anyone's footsteps. There's no comparison shopping going on.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 "When I started", reflects Han Zimmer when Empire speaks to him, "what I did was called 'background music'." It definitely isn't called that anymore. In fact, from humble beginnings as a young wannabe pianist in Frankfurt and London, the German composer has practically redefined the grammar of movie music. His trademark Inception "Braaam" is now a tension-cranking lingua franca for movie trailers, although, as he points out with a grin, "it was in Chris [Nolan's] script." Fresh from his labours on Man Of Steel, the great scorer offered a fascinating, wide-ranging contribution to Empire's celebration of movie music.That opening paragraph alone includes so many moments that I didn't bother to read on.When did Hans Zimmer "start"? I don't know, but I bet film music was in a better state then than it is now. It's better to have great music that is not as highly regarded, than having empty music in every score that is talked about by the composer and the mainstream like it's a mixture between high mathematics and the second coming of Mozart.And what's the matter with the term "scorer"? Did Clint Eastwood write that article?Occasionally, I think it's either my sanity or Zimmer's that is deteriorating at a mindboggling speed.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If you're looking at it from a commercial standpoint rather than purely an artistic one. Zimmer has kept film music alive in the public conscious more so than any other composer in the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 If simplifying film music is the formula for maintaining public interest, will scores be nothing but a series of extended grunts in 10 years to excite the average YouTuber to declare it "brilliant"?

Luke Skywalker 1,796 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hans zimmer may have helped the film score CD market and sales, so it may help other composer's scores so they still sell CD at stores.But without hans zimmer, films would still have soundtracks, from whatever the style (not just pop songs) even if they were commercially available or not.

russds 8 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry, I searched but couldn't find another thread devoted to just the Man of Steel score (zimmer). Maybe one should be created if there's not one? But Over the weekend, I found these:1. 90 second previews of the score: 2. New "DTS Headphones X" technology debuts with Man of Steel score: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1475529/dts-headphone-x-makes-debut-with-man-of-steel-score3. Tech Journalist Scott Wilkonson who was at a special screening/display of the Man of Steel soundtrack with new DTS Headphones X Technology talks about the experience. starts at 32:51.I have to say I'm kind of excited about this movie and score. I generally like Zimmer, I like Nolan, and I'm interested to see how it relates (if at all) to the original JW classic. I also find this head phone technology very intriguing. If I can easily and robustly get 11.1 surround sound through the convenience of headphones, how sweet would that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the tag 'superman', wasn't there, figured a search for Zimmer would return tons of threads, and didn't think to search for "Steel", I also looked on the "Also tagged with..." section of the other thread, and didn't see it there.

crocodile 8,019 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The excessive amount of percussion instruments can give some really interesting results. Like in the case of Christopher Gordon's Daybreakers where he, I think, had 36 different percussion tracks layered on top of each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSvlziMPnJgAn excellent score, I should add.Karol publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
