Hans Zimmer Loves Zebra

[AdmiralQuality]

I thought he used a human beat-box.

Yeah, the other 1%.

Nah, i bet it was this :

Ooooh, Note Expression!

Ooooh, Note Expression!

Yeah, I note the sleepy expression in his eyes.

Ooooh, Note Expression!

Yeah, I note the sleepy expression in his eyes.

I thought the most important lesson was that he thought he should choose one synth and stick to that and really learn it. Though that is kind of ironic considering his rig.

Yes, very interesting. Even in the light of the fact that Hans is not limited in any way what he could choose to use. And that Moog Modular is rediculously BIG!!! His comparisson between the two is remarkable.

Can't find part two on youtube, might have to pass on this because Germany seems to have a deep seated hatred for buffering.

That is not sleepy.. that is focus. Got to have your game face on when making such emotive musics!

Perhaps it is a direct result of dealing with his rig for so long. And now there are kabillions of synthesizers out there. It makes sense to pick a deep synth and stick with it.

Do you know who else loves Zebra?

And I didn't know about the 99% part... interesting. I thought there was a lot more orchestra on the Inception soundtrack.

I imagine that to be 99% of the synth sounds

no actually he said the entire movie score was really an electronic score with only a little bit of orchestra.

and then said that thing was 99% zebra.

Well there you go. Time to investigate my zebra again.

Interesting... Some of the vocal stuff Howard did with Zebra is surprisingly good.

Zebra is superb! Great sound quality and vast sonic range!

You mean, aside from most of us here? (now where's a fanboi basher when you need him?)

Well, unlike other companies, Urs doesn't go out begging for endorsements from teh awsum DJs, which is a brave and ultimately smart move IMO. Just imagine T-Pain promoting Zebra... it'd be enough to make me delete my copy permamently.

The fact that Hans Zimmer is so vocal about Zebra is really kind of an anomaly and a testament to his excitement about it. In the end, though, I don't need anyone to tell me how good it is.

You guys all forget one VERY important thing. Hans use Zebra yes but all these Zebra sounds are developed by Howard (also here on KVR) exclusively for his movies.

If i understood it correctly Hans is torturing Howard until Howard produce what is in Hans imagination. Quite nice job i can say

[C-note]

I think the most pertinent absolutely real part to me was that he - Hans Zimmer (and Danny Elfman also) have repeatedly commented how difficult it is to write for film, with the tight deadlines and all. Can everyone imagine how "interesting" it would be to have the Director or Editor of a gazillion dollar film looking over your shoulder critiquing YOUR composition as YOU write it? Most of the composers I work with freak out if I change even a few note expressions to fit the film's mood. A lot of confidence is needed in YOUR musical ability to be successful under those circumstances and put out soundtracks like a Hans Zimmer.
