Saw Hans Zimmer Live last week and came back to this video I watched 10 years ago eager to know more about this genius. I'll probably never be the great film director I dreamt of being, or get to work with Mr. Zimmer, but I'm glad I've been able to be moved by his music and the musicians that bring it to life.
I don't know exactly why, if it's his voice or his mind, or that I share an anglo-philia with him but listening to Hans Zimmer is such a pleasure. One of the best musicians I've ever come across.
Great interview. Zimmer's approach to writing and films seems so wide-ranging. Despite the countless films he's done, he sounds like he approaches every process fresh, aiming to accomplish true artistry in every new endeavor.
DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood Makes a lot of sense. I've never heard anyone complain about Pharrell, and pretty much everything I've heard of his is gold.
I like Hans. I like his scores in the 80s, 90s, maybe 2000s, but since the 2010s he's gotten lazy and now he is trying to bullshit his way out of it. Come on, "it was a very personal experience .......... it was a great experience." That just shows he doesn't know what to say next. I'm not a so called hater, but I am aware of Zimmer's lazyness of the recent years. He is inventve, but it doesn't show - sadly!
TheBaconWizard I did. The whole thing. And it's not. Sorry, it's not. It's repetitive and he didn't do anything with it. It was Nolan's idea to use the pipe organ. I thought it was Zimmer. The main theme is very simple and where he exceled on Inception, he failed in Interstellar or Man of Steel or 12 Years A Slave. Ambient noise and a simple theme do not make for an Oscar worthy score.
trexation themes cannot be simple? must they always be grandiose? can one listen to a renaissance english song for voice and like it and marvel at its beauty?? or must I listen to verdi's requiem because of its grandiosity??

My god, is Interstellar a beautiful movie and the music fits perfectly. Pure genius.
You can't say this a lot but he's really a living legend. His words alone are inspiring.

He doesn't get lost in the big ideas.
Softly playing the main theme from Interstellar while watching this adds a lot more ambiance to the interview. Give it a try! ^~^
Big facts

always a great 30!
Great interview about the process of collaboration and creativity, sensitive questions from David Poland.
that was a good interview :)
Such an inspiration! 👏
You should of asked him how he came up with the theme for the rain man casino sequence, that shit's brilliant
What was the bit in the beginning about naked girls painted gold? What movie/project was that for?
I think it’s the opera scene in Ridley Scott’s Hannibal
His voice has extra subwoofer
Would you interview Ryuichi Sakamoto someday?

Claudio Abbado

Couldn't catch the name of the composer Zimmer describes as hardest working man in music at the beginning of the interview, who is it?

Are you kidding? Did you actually HEAR the score for Interstellar??? It's genius!
