Q&A: Hans Zimmer on scoring ‘The Da Vinci Code’
soundtracks.monstersandcritics.com
Hans Zimmer’s studio is dark red. The deep wood panels, flowing thick velvet curtains and the plush couch seem more fit for an 18th-century castle than a building in Santa Monica, Calif.
Zimmer sits at his desk – complete with piano keyboard and numerous computers, and coffee. He spins in his chair. He’s excited and overworked. He just finished scoring ‘The Da Vinci Code’ – a project that consumed two years of his life. And now he is knee deep in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.’
i don’t get it, whats it matter if the line was a intentionally copied from mozart, or a natural discovery… you know.. no matter how monumental people try to make things, art isn’t barred behind glass in museums.. it’s ideas.. was the music appropriate for that moment?..
Seems like no one interested to write about da Vinci code soundtrack!!! Never Mind :(
Hans music was spot on in this film but Hans started being a bit naughty in track "dies mercurii i martius" after the first minute and seven second he copied the choral line from Mozart Requiem "Lacrimosa" just that little chromatic ascending. Part from that Hans did an excellent job in da Vinci code.
