Oh ... I'm supposed to write in English ... this will be nothing :-) Sorry guys ... I want to talk about my emotions here ... I can not bend in the language ...
Oh... Ich soll in englisch schreiben... das wird nichts :-) Sorry Jungs... ich möchte hier über meine Emotionen Reden... da kann ich mich nicht in der Sprache Verbiegen...
Meine Freundin schenkte mir zum 50. Geburtstag Karten für Hans Zimmer in Leipzig... wir selber wohnen bei Köln... und wollten eigentlich 2016 ins Konzert nach Köln... leider hat es sich nicht ergeben und meine Freundin hat gemerkt, dass ich deswegen etwas traurig war... also dann nun 2017 die große Überraschung zum Geburtstag -> Karten für Hans Zimmer in Leipzig. Und ich kenne Leipzig. Eine tolle Stadt mit tollen Menschen... also riesen Freude... hat sie super gemacht.
Und was waren wir begeistert. Ich kann die negativen Kritiken hier nicht verstehen. Scheinen ja viele super Livemusiker dabei zu sein, die schon Konzerte ohne Ende gegeben haben, um sich hier als Fachmänner austauschen zu können... Ich sag dann gerne -> selber besser machen :-)
Aber natürlich kann auch ich Meckern ;-) Aber nicht wirklich... Das Konzert war großartig und wir waren drei Stunden lang Begeistert... und meine Freundin hat für Filmmusik nichts übrig... nun ist sie Hans Zimmer Fan... Wir waren von der ersten bis zur letzten Minuten wie elektrisiert... was bestimmt auch an der Bühnenshow gelegen hat... mit diesen fantastischen Musikern... einer besser als der anderen... und doch eine große musikalische Familie... Fantastisch... Herzlichen Glückwunsch Hans, dass Du dich mit so tollen Leuten umgeben kannst und so toll zusammenarbeiten könnt... Mein Traum - einmal mit Euch auf der Bühne stehen... ich kann nur kein Instrument... vielleicht Triangel ;-)
Ich habe mich schon als Kind für Filmmusik begeistert und hatte/habe eine entsprechend große LP/CD-Sammlung von Hunderten von Filmmusiken... In den Anfängen noch Ennio Morricone (wo das Konzert leider abgesagt wurde) John Williams, Nino Rota, John Berry, Henry Mancini... usw. und mit Rain Man gesellte sich die erste Hans Zimmer LP dazu... und da sind noch einige wundervolle dazu gekommen... Black Rain, Backdraft, Crimson Tide, usw.
...und hier kommt nun mein Meckern am Konzert... warum nur drei Stunden? Wer so viele tolle Filmmusik geschrieben hat kann doch Ruhig ein acht Stunden Konzert geben :-) Jeder Fan hat bestimmt die eine oder andere Filmmusik vermisst... so hätte ich wahnsinnig gerne etwas aus Rango gehört. Das Thema aus Rango würde sich auch perfekt für Live eignen... meine Meinung... Und ich wollte eigentlich in Leipzig nach dem Konzert noch "Zugabe Rango" rufen... aber Ihr hatte Euch den Feierabend redlich verdient. Da wurde über drei Stunden mit einer Leidenschaft und einem Einsatz ein Konzert zelebriert... Großartig!
Aber lieber Hans, warum will ich unbedingt Rango hören? Weil dies eine kleine Geschichte von mir ist... die Du, falls Du mal Rango in die Live-Liste mit aufnimmst, gerne erzählen kannst... was Fans von Dir beim Filmschauen denken... :-) Ich habe damals mit meiner Freundin und ihren Kindern im Kino Rango gesehen... und habe mich die ganze Zeit gefragt "Verdammt. Vom wem ist diese geniale Filmmusik???" Wie gesagt, ich habe mich von Kindheit an für Filmmusik interessiert... und kannte auch einiges von Dir... aber ich überlegte "Morricone? Nein zu modern... Williams? Bestimmt nicht... Wer macht den noch Western Musiken? Horner? Passt auch nicht... und so grübelte ich über diese fantastische Musik, anstatt mir den Film anzuschauen :-) ...und als der Abspann kam... und alle Leute aufstanden und gehen wollten, blieb ich sitzen... Ich musste Wissen wer das Komponiert hatte - HANS ZIMMER! Ja klar... der Hans der kann's ;-) Am nächsten Tag hatte meine Sammlung eine neue CD
Lieber Hans... vielen Dank für das großartige Konzert. Der Dank gilt allen großartigen Musikern die an diesem Abend auf der Bühne waren und uns begeistert haben. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis... und ich erzähle all meinen Freunden von diesem Erlebnis... Wir freuen uns noch auf ganz viele tolle Filmmusik von Dir und wünschen Euch allen das Beste...
I just came home from your 2017.06.01 Budapest concert. I have to say that the first half of your concert was superb (which included Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean), but the second half was a huge disappointment. It resembled more a heavy metal concert than an actual symphonic concert. I could scarcely recognize any musical themes during the second half, seemed like you just left your talent in the first half. Also I deeply missed the music of King Arthur, which is one of your (if not) best score. Please next time try harder and leave out the heavy metal stuff, your audience loves you for your melodic orchestra and not the brainless bass.
Sincerely: Endre

Hello Hans Zimmer,
We visited your concert yesterday here in Budapest. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. The first half was OK, but the second half was terrible. It was like a very loud heavy metal concert, we had to cover our ears and not just our ears, but we also had to close our eyes, because of the constant, annoying stroboscope. It was harmful for both eyes and ears and we have seen children and even a pregnant woman in the concert. I am sure it was not healthy for them either. We had to leave 10 minutes before the end because my wife got sick.
me and my wife visited the concert in Leipzig, Germany on May 24th 2017. We are big fans of Hans’ music and were in joyful anticipation to see him playing live some of our most favorite songs.
We had tickets for the best category right in front of the stage. By the way: we also visited John Williams and we have tickets for James Newton Howard as well.
But sadly this concert was a total disaster and we drove back home with nothing else than disappointment and anger. Compared to John Williams, where we were totally excited and told everybody about the great concert, we weren’t able to do this for the Hans Zimmer concert.
Let me explain in short, how we experienced this Hans’ concert.
1) Sound The sound was horrible. The bass (especially sub-bass) was way to loud. Everything was booming, the sound was ‚muddy‘ and totally distorted. Vocals were hearable and understandable only if the band was playing very quitely.
At least, many people had to cover their ears because of the high loudness. And some people left the concert because of the bad sound. And just as a note: such high levels are harmful to health and if you like your fans to hear your music in the future, you shouldn’t kill their hearing ability!
Front of House was at the very end of the hall - so they didn’t hear how bad it was in front of the stage - and the most expensive seats.
I have to say this was no professional work. It seems like they just tried to kill any noise by turning up the volume to the max (like in the 80s) instead of optimizing sound and setup adjusted to the hall and the audience.
2) Lightshow and screen The lightshow was a lowlight as well.
Almost the whole lightshow was based on strobe effects and flashing lights - no matter if the moving hads were flashing or the psychedelic moving images on the big screen were flickering and flashing. I was not able to watch this concert longer than a few seconds and then I had to close my eyes for a few seconds before I was able to watch again. Two hours of strobing and flickering lights, all the way from light to dark and back again in high frequencies was very exhausting. And it wasn’t only me. I saw a lot of people keeping their heads down and were watching the ground and not the stage.
Lucky me, I’m not an epileptic….
The big screen was used only for this irritating images and sometimes for pre-recorded! scenes, where some of the musicians were playing their instruments instead of showing the band or Hans’ playing live or if Hans’ is telling stories about the songs, his live or his friends and band colleagues.
At least this kind of lightshow and use of the big screen didn’t make it possible to see the artists faces. So it’s a bit like with the sound… You couldn’t hear them, but you couldn’t see them as well.
So why do you visit a concert? Right, to see the artist play and hear, what they play. Both wasn’t possible or a joy that day.
There are many clips on YouTube, where you can see and hear what we experienced. And no, the distorted sound is not caused by „bad mics“ of the smartphones...
I’m very sad to say this, but this was the worst concert of my live. I’m not able to tell anything good about this event - and everybody was expecting the total opposite. And to be honest - I wish I could get my money back, for the very first time in my live after visiting a concert. It was such a waste of time and money :(
Dear Hans Zimmer Team, what is up with your Live-Tour sound? Almost all of the eventim-FanReports for your live tour talk about deafening bass, drowned-in-noise vocals, actually exploding speakers and people leaving early. I was in Leipzig, your technicians might remember the guy who asked them for earplugs.
I will alert the emissions-protection-bureau about this. Because submitting People to 100+dB without proper warning is actually illegal here.
Your scores helped me pass through difficult times, in life. Never heard music that touches me so deep inside. Thanks - to you and your Team - and go on like this. When do you come to Germany with your Team (live in concert)?
If you like to answer: atlantis42195@gmail.com ------------------------------------------ Hallo Hans!
Ein dickes Lob an Sie und Ihr Team. Ihre Musik half mir, durch schwere Zeiten im Leben zu kommen. Nie zuvor kannte ich Musik, welche mich derart berührt. Wann kommen Sie wieder nach Deutschland, mit Ihrem Team?
Weiter so und beste Grüße, aus Düsseldorf! Falls Sie antworten möchten:atlantis42195@gmail.com
My boyfriend and i went to your concert in Forum yesterday. My boyfriend have been a fan of you, since he was a teenager, renting your soundtracks in the public libary. He is 32 now. I gave his tickets for the show as a surprise and he had been talking about it every day for more than 2 months. He knows facts about dreams you had when you were younger, why you chose a certain tune and he has watched the thin red line at least a 1000 times, just for the music. We came an hour early yesterday all ready and so happy. Then you began. Everyhing was wrong. The music was at least 25 % too loud. We had no chance what so ever to the seperat instruments. People were covering their ears most of the time. The light show was enough to make anyone get an epileptic seizure. What we love about your music and you, is that you can create a universe with one sound. Yesterday was more like being at a heavy metal concert. You had no reason for the gospel singers, because you could not hear ONE word they were saying. The last song you played, on the piano alone, was amazing. And half of the lion king and half of pirates o t c. But the rest sounded like being at copenhagen hell (a rock festival). You have meant everything for my boyfriends musical taste. And he was so sad yesterday, because you completly shattered his idea of that. We had to walk home instead of taking the train, because we were just so angry and had so much to talk about.
I am so so sorry about last night. I wish it had never heppened. Regards Mille
In Ihrem Fall macht das Wort geehrt sogar wirklich Sinn und Freude. Ich weiss nicht woher Sie diese Tiefe aus Ihrer Inspiration in Ihren Werken hervor bringen, die Art wie Sie Gefühle durch Ihre Kombinationen auslösen ist sehr berührend. Das wissen Sie selbstverständlich, haben Sie ja vermutlich schon tausend Mal gehört.
Auf diesem Weg möchte ich Ihnen gerne mitteilen, dass Sie in mir eine unglaubliche Kraft für das Positive entfachen. Als ich gesehen habe bei wievielen Filmen die mich in bestimmten Sequenzen berührt haben, Sie die Musik dazu gemacht haben, war ich "fast" schockiert. Der Höhepunkt für mich persönlich ist zwar Time, aber es gibt unzählige viele Stücke mit dem gewissen Etwas.
Nun wie dem auch sei, vielleicht erfahren Sie eines Tages auf welche Reise mich Ihre Lieder mitgenommen habe. Seien Sie nicht erstaunt. Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Ausdauer und Ihr Wesen. Das ist eine "wahre" Freude!
Currently I will be doing the music score for this short film, but the filmmakers need help with raising funds, could you help us with our crowdfunding?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CM4VRiOIMc this soundtrack i mad for horror movie. check out .. if you like the way i tell the story just contact on facebook : Zviad Mgebry I Would Really like to collaborate eaves for free i work with orchestra with band ets. thats my band BTW
I am actually very interested into Orchestras and Scores. I have seen tons of footage and also did some recherche how to arrange and organize an orchestra, when I suddenly stumbled about two and a half questions.
Question one: why are string and woodwindinsruments the only ones with a static position?
Question two: on what does it depend, that Xylophones, Drums, Pianos, Harps and sometimes Brassinstruments, vary their position?
Question two and a half: does this depend on the acustic of a room or is there any certain specialty to define the seating?

If you're really want to know more about score, as odd as it sounds, Facebook is how I learned the basics that really readied me. I'm a part of several groups on FB and they're all very welcoming! Feel free to find me on FB!
When artists like Hans Zimmer have their staff include the disclaimer: "Please don't ask us how to contact them ( i.e: Hans or the other Remote Control composers ) either" on their Contact page -it's clear that thes artists have lost touch and respect for the people who have put them where they are today. Why even HAVE a Contact page on your website if you don't WANT fan contact? Oh wait, I get it -we're only supposed to use this Contact page to lavish praise upon Hans and his fellow ( Remote Control ) Music God composers. What was I thinking? These Music Gods wouldn't actually want to "rub elbows" with the "little people" who purchase their music ( -which allows them to make very comfortable livings for themselves ). I actually feel sad for these out of touch "stuffed-shirts".

Well said Tom, and what shall I say, you hear it in the newly compositions. Not the theme but the production outcome is bad. Hollywood is taken over, so sad ...

Maybe it's because they were getting too many, "Hey, Hans, listen to what I wrote" kind of submissions mixed with just regular abuse of the contact page. I'm a composer and understand not wanting to allow free contact, you have only so many hours to write something incredible. On top of that, 'Hollywood' is a very friendly world of professionals who are willing to teach when the opportunity arises. Hans is doing a master class, yes he probably gets paid nicely, BUT WHAT COPOSTITION TEACHER DOESN'T? Especially world renowned. Lastly, Hans doesn't make the bulk of his money from selling OST's, he get's it from working on big budget projects. Hans is very much on board with being in contact with the public but has to have some safeguards for himself in terms of contact. Do something amazing and maybe he'll decide to "rub elbows" with you.
I noticed Hans has an event local to me titled "Revealed". The ticketmaster website suggests this is not a concert, bu more of a q&a with the artist? I'm interested in seeing him and the orchestra live. Thank you
What is Captain Barbossas theme in Pirates of the Caribbean?

I don't think he ever got a specific theme - the ominous rising theme from "Fog Bound" and "Underwater March" is sort of used for Barbosa and the undead pirates, but not really enough for you to make that connection. The first Pirates score was never all that careful about what themes it used where and for whom - that sort of leitmotif approach didn't really happen until the second and especially third ones (and then was totally messed up again in the fourth, where IIRC they use a motif associated with Cutler Beckett/the EITC for "privateer Barbosa" for some bizarre reason).
Hello Everyone a quastion no one knows exactly where the tracks are played in the background of Batman v Superman, their war here is a movie version of the best sounds and other tracks in film such as batman training and create kryptonite spear background music looks like zod theme and after moment batman say superman do you bleed you will begin soundtrack anв ends when Lex opens a box with a kryptonite .

Just i very loved is soundtracks hans zimmer and I would like to listen to only play in the film version music for batman v superman but it is nowhere huh... so I want to strongly .
Hello. I am a huge and serious fan of Hans Zimmer music. I am also a big fan of John Powell, the composer of scores of <The Bourne Supremacy>.
I am eager to get a "film version" of <Bim Bam Smash> the studio version of which I have. (You know, just like <Training Montage> from <Rocky 4> comes in a film version and a studio version.)
The film version of <Bim Bam Smash> is a little longer and more heart-pounding than the studio version. I could not find any tip on how to get that version after searching the whole Internet for days. I thought about extracting the score from the movie file (mp4), but the other background sound is too loud.
