Where is hans zimmer from

And of course, I'm not mentioning any of that either, because quite honestly I didn't go and look at the old Batman movies again. I am not saying it is a bad movie or good movie, but it is an odd movie. All of the music was written before Terry would edit a scene. That was just how he wanted to work. It was a very odd way of working for me, because I had to lead the charge up the hill all the time.

It gets a little daunting. I knew how to write to human emotions but these were animals. It took me a while to sort of get over that and do what you do which is just treat them like human characters.

And it's very simple. It's my point of view because my dad dropped dead when I was six. I had nobody to talk to about it. If the secret should be known, which is not much of a secret at all, this is my hobby I love doing this.

Anything else feels like work to me. When you write a theme one of the things you want to do is you want to see how much life it really has. How many possibilities there are. Can it speak to you in joy? Can it speak to you in sorrow? Can it be love?

Can it be hate? Can you say all these things with just a few notes? That's the thing when you figure out if a tune is any good or not. Does it have more than one shallow little character? Does it have just one little thing to tell you. Can it get underneath there under your skin? Can it get dark? Can it talk about the death of a father or something like that. It's very simple. It's my point of view because my dad dropped dead when I was six and I had nobody to talk to about it.

So, it's a very personal sort of thing. You have to realize I like doing big movies that appear on a big screen. So the visuals and the audio have to be of a certain quality before I start to get excited about the thing.

The writing gets done away from the keyboard and away from the studio in my head, in solitude. And then I come in and hopefully have something, then I wrestle with sounds and picture all day long. But the ideas usually come from a more obscure place, like a conversation with a director, a still somebody shows you, or whatever. When movies first came out, maybe they were in black and white and there wasn't any sound and people were saying the theater is still the place to be. But now movies and theater have found their own place in the world.

They are each legitimate art forms. With animated film, you have to create the sonic world; there's nothing there. You get to color things in more and you're allowed to overreach yourself a little bit more, and it's great fun. Anything can become a musical sound. The wind on telegraph wires is a great sound; get it into your machine and play it and it becomes interesting.

You come from a conversation with the director, and you're all enthusiastic, because it's all new possibilities, opportunities, great ideas, etc.

And then you get into this room, and you sit in front of this [computer], and it's all gone and you just go "oh my god, I have no idea what to do". How does the sand grit in your teeth? Even something that sounds like brass could be an electric guitar or electric cello, manipulated electronically.

Unusual woodwinds like the Armenian duduk or Scottish bagpipes occasionally peek through, but many sounds are from specially commissioned instruments and new synthesizer modules. The composer was unable to specify themes or sounds for characters or locales. I saw everything as a totality.

He took a long time to experiment. It was like a big creative rush. It became a storm. When the movie was totally finished, Hans was still sending me music. But there will be a second part!
