[Closed] HANS ZIMMER

It's half of the road.

What this score is? it's not dissonant enough. it's not experimental enough. it's not melodic enough. Mindblowing? only 2 tracks...

It's the middle of the road. I can't choose this score because it doesn't have a concret mood. Maybe after to watch the movie..

I think it will be a lot more powerful and mood-creating once it's experienced in the context of the film.

I do.

No.

It's a mix of Hijack (MI2), Synchrotone (BHD) and... Why So Serious, a bit more refined though.

I like the Vangelis approach to Old Souls and Waiting for a Train.

QFT! Seems like there's an emotional arc riding through those pieces.

hey everyone.

i am a hans zimmer fan, however i wanted to ask a few simple questions after listening to the sound track.

firstly i do a sport which requires using interpretive music to perform, currently one of my music pieces i am using is sherlock holmes and the other i am wanting to make inception.

i loved the piece by zack hemsey (mind heist) however it was only 2 minsish in length and i need a 4 and a half minute piece (ofcourse i usually grab a whole lot of tracks from the sound track and get them spliced together). i have listened to the soundtrack and there are a few pieces i can use however the main reason i am writing on this forum is to ask if someone has found the music to the second trailer of inception anywhere??? im talking about the one that sounds like mind heist and has that feel of the 528491 piece (it is also roughly 1:20 mins in length)...

the reason is because the music used in that trailer is exactly the other half of music ive been looking for. i read earlier that it was done by hans zimmers team with lorne balfe and richard king but i have looked everywhere and can only find an mp3 of it with the actual words from the trailer... does anyone know if this trailer music will be available, if so when and where? mind heist is ridiculously easy to find but the 2nd trailer music is really good too and hasnt been posted anywhere.

Christodoulides u seemed to know alot about the trailer music Id love any help possible

sorry for writing an essay its a great soundtrack!

On The Score interview with Hans Zimmer about Inception.

It’s a composer’s job to unlock the imagination of their directors, translating their flights of fantasy into melody. Few musical dreamweavers have shown as much imaginative dexterity in that regard as Hans Zimmer. Yet even fewer directors have given Zimmer a true match for his talent like Christopher Nolan, whose enigmatic oeuvre consists of such head scratchers as “Memento,” “Insomnia” and “The Prestige,” not to mention two movies featuring The Dark Knight, whose imposing bleakness was abetted by the anti-hero rhythms of Zimmer and James Newton Howard.

If hearing Nolan’s imagination was a tough nut for Zimmer to crack before, then his new film “Inception” takes the filmmaker’s intellectual bent to spectacularly inscrutable heights. It’s a brain-bending, sci-fi tinted mix of “Mission Impossible,” impeccably dressed James Bond action and enough meditations on the nature of humanity and dreams to make Carlos Castaneda scratch his head. Providing a thematic through line to “Inception”‘s multiple, and insanely complicated plains of dream action is an equally surreal, and beautifully thrilling score by Hans Zimmer. He’s given “Inception” an unceasing atmosphere where “Blade Runner” synth vibes swim with adrenalin guitar builds by Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr, emotional anguish and booming percussion that drive Nolan’s dreams without end. And in a thoroughly engaging film that’s almost defiant of its sci-fi origins, it’s Zimmer’s music that truly places Nolan’s thought processes in a sonically surreal realm, his dazzling themes the glue on which “Inception”’s complicated story hangs together. For if this director has truly jumped into the rabbit hole here, than Hans Zimmer has gleefully followed with his most deliriously imaginative score yet.

Now on a new episode of “On the Score,” the composer lets us invade his mind to see what ticks behind this unique, and hypnotic score that plays like a waking dream.

It's like you can't help but click on it.

What was that sparkling iPaddy thing Hans is playing with...?


and JNH looks so cool

Markwebster,

I don't know if anything else than ZACK HAMSEY's mind heist mp3 actually exists out there; i'd say if you want more duration, create a loop of that cue at some point in it where it's suitable, by crossfading the 2 wav files in an audio editing software, such as the free audacity or the payware adobe audition 3. That piece, and Zimmer's cue 6 and 9 from Inception is what we have 'till now, except if there's some material out there which i haven't heard of.

oh and when will the bonus tracks be available is it possible they might be the trailer music? or contain the trailer music?

Inception's live performance. after the trailer and interviews!

I haven't listened to it much yet, nor will i do so soon 'cause i am out of the home these days and for the next 2 weeks, but from the first few listens i loved it; ZImmer's very unique with this sound and he's one of the few these days who can make a good synth score without sounding crap.
