Hans Zimmer Studio Pics
March 31, 2006
Do you know Hans? If not, you have certainly heard his music. He started off with Trevor Horn (heard of him?) in the Buggles – you know – Video Killed the Radio Star. Now he scores about every major Hollywood film that’s made. He is the master, I think, of combining electronic, orchestral, acoustic sources. He is not the best composer per se, but he understands musical mood and the effects of every instrument and muscial style like no other.
Below you can see the setup he used to use for orchestral sampling. Each of those Akais is like a section of strings or horns (painstakingly loaded by interns). Nowadays he uses Gigasampler on a PC (if my knowledge is still current).
