Yes I know, I spoke with John Powell and Geoff Zanelli about Zimmer. He treats them (his protégés) fairly, provides them with opportunities after ghosting for him, and recommends them for solo projects. That’s why I said he’s a good producer. Unfortunately the “Zimmer-sound” has become so generic at this point because it wasn’t created solely by him, and whenever one of his protégés do a score, we hear Zimmer, because they wrote additional music in a Zimmer score that we later recognize in their solo efforts. E.g. you hear Batman Begins in Jablonsky’s Transformers. I wouldn’t have a problem with HZ if he wasn’t regarded as a genius, the greatest film composer of all time. He’s a good craftsman, a decent composer, especially when he started out in the 80s, early 90s. But he’s nowhere near the level of the greats. But of course I don’t *hate* him, and especially don’t hate Anyone who likes his music. 6 minutes ago, Edmilson said: The movie is a masterpiece of traditional animation. Absolutely. Beautiful film.

GerateWohl 4,373 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 It was discussed in this forum several times that this ghostwriter topic isn't Hans Zimmer specific. It also applies to many or even most others, like for example James Horner for some scenes just giving rough ideas to his orchestrators and let them actually do the composition. But Hans Zimmer is one of the few that in the meantime deals with it quite openly and that's a good thing. Still I don't mind his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Edmilson 7,474 Posted June 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2023 I'll be completely honest: I don't like this method of a score written by a huge number of people while the person that actually gets the "Music By" credit is just an umbrella term. In fact, I hate it. It's not specifically to Zimmer - I hate when other composers do it too, including the man in my profile pic. I loved JNH's score to A Hidden Life, but I was extremely disappointed to know that someone got credited as additional composer. It's a 40-minute score, couldn't you write it on your own? John Williams scored 9 Star Wars, 5 Indiana Jones and lots of other Spielberg classics all on his own, Howard Shore did 6 Middle Earth epics, but you aren't capable of writing a 40 minute score without asking some dude that just left Musical college to write, what, half of it? A quarter? A third? All? I love John Powell, his music makes me so good. But I genuinely hate that part of it (how much? Nobody knows or wants to tell) was written by other people. Which parts? The best ones? The not so good ones? Did you only have a supervising role, listening to their cues and saying "yeah, that's good enough" or "no, it needs more drama, put more horns into it"? Do you even deserve that "Music By" credit? I think Corellia Chase from Solo is one of Powell's best action cues. But is it really? Or are we in fact listening to Batu Sener's masterpiece? I know Zimmer or younger (born after 1960) composers aren't the only ones doing it though. According to some accounts, James Horner did it too. And it is so disappointing to me. How many Horner cues I loved since I was a teenager weren't written by him? Is the classic "The Launch" cue from Apollo 13 ghostwritten by some unknown? The Ludlows from Legends of the Fall? The love theme from Braveheart? So much of the music I loved may not have been written by who I think wrote them, and this thought just drives me insane. If these people were open about that and specifically tell "I never wrote anything, I just supervised" or "I wrote this, this and this cue, while my partner handled this and this cue", then I'd feel a lot better. Seriously, I was supper happy when the cue list for Kung Fu Panda (a score credited to Zimmer and Powell) more or less revealed which parts belonged to each composer. It made me appreciate that score a lot more now that I sort of know who did what. Another positive example: the 2012 LLL expansion of Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture reveals which cues were written by Fred Steiner. It made so much easier to appreciate what Goldsmith really did and what exactly were Steiner contributions. I don't blame Goldsmith for using help (it was a famously troubled production and recording), but rather I admire Steiner for writing a moving finale for the movie (A Good Start) and LLL for revealing that he was the responsible for this great cue. It's just... maddening. At least since that disturbing Vanity Fair article was published the big ones started being more open about it (the Xander guy was credited for most of the Willow episodes instead of just JNH). But what about past scores? Really, can someone tell me which music I can credit to JNH, Horner, Powell, HGW, Zimmer and which to Xander, Balfe, Badelt, and all the others? Why be so secretive about it? Why does every track in The Dark Knight's OST is credited to both Zimmer and JNH, even the ones that were clearly written by just one of them (the Joker and Harvey Dent themes)? It's ridiculous: two of JNH's most listened tracks on Spotify are just Batman themes that weren't written by him! This is just a rant. And yeah, it stems more from my OCD of actually wanting to know the responsible for the music I like than anything. I could never be one of these "I don't care who the composer/s is/are as long as the music is good". I just... can't.

In fact, I hate it. First let me say that yours is a VERY important and eloquent comment, one that I’m very grateful for, because this should be discussed much much more often. Because we’ve been fed a lie for decades and this has made many talented people’s lives miserable who never got the public recognition they deserve. So thank you very much for writing it down, I really appreciate it. And second, to answer your question WHY are they (the composers) so secretive about this? Because of ego and reputation. Eventually money. If producers and directors knew that some of the most memorable cues weren’t written by the people that are paid the big money, they just wouldn’t get paid that much. Why pay one person so much if they don’t write their scores alone? And someone like Hans Zimmer wants the world to think it’s him alone, or maybe, in the case of the Batman films, with another big composer he’s willing to share the credits with. But he couldn’t be nominated for awards with co-composers. There are other reasons for sure, but ultimately it all comes down to money and ego. And if everyone is satisfied, the ghostwriter gets a pat on the back and a fairly handsome salary from Zimmer, and eventually their own project, they keep their mouths shut and the system never changes and thus film music suffers and false idols are created and worshiped.
