Transcript
Hello. I'm Hans Zimmer, and welcome to my studio. And I'm Reese. And today, I was lucky enough to spend the day with Oscar winning composer Hans Zimmer at his studio to discuss his upcoming concert film. This is beautiful. I'm glad you love a good mess. So this is where the magic happens. Zimmer guided me around his studio, showing me all of his instruments and walking me through his creative process before we sat down to talk about all of his work and also his upcoming film. Here, it's not just talking. We can actually go and make music. What was the motivating factor in deciding to record the concert? Oh. Yes. That. Oh, that thing that I'm supposed to be talking about. Here's something I never thought I would do. We made a movie. And for for once, I got to make the movie. Would you be able to movie. Would you be able to list the scores that people will be able to listen to in the concert film? As usual, I can't remember my set list. Dune, Dune powers two, Inception, Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Gladiator, Pirates, Intermission, followed by Dunkirk, The Dark Knight basically stuffed better, and then Interstellar. Then I was treated to Zimmer himself playing Cornfield Chase from Interstellar. Oh, do the thought version. That's pretty much all there is. If you're a really good musician, it's not how well you play. It's how well you listen to each other.
