Modernity Sucks

Off topic, ok, but on the movie end credits of "A league of their own", no additional composer, no arranger, no orchestrator is credited, just music by Hans Zimmer, score conducted by Shirley Walker. And I don't get the point, why can't they be listed ? What an end credits is for ? You ha...

You cant write in the end credits :

"Music by HZ , Orchestrators, arrangers, conductors, msuicians, copyists"
as much as you dont put

"Movie directed by James Cameron, 2nd director unit , 3rd director, assistant director, "


100% agree, but off-topic.

You rock! Thanks a lot

Fell in love with his work too. Where can we hear more?

The fourth video of this series (The Parody) is very enlightening, it gives serious hints about how crappy the mock-up sounded like. The rest is already well-known by now. Two episodes and the season 1 of the drama is over?

I come to believe that by "every note", HZ means something different than Samy when he writes "every note". Like "lines and chords" = "every note". While for Samy "every note" = "all the voicings and dynamic markings and shit". It was from...

Maybe he just hears the room and reverberation stuff :-D

Despite solide evidences here, I'm sure some folks will continue with the "how did you dare writing to Hans Zimmer for three whole weeks?" way of responding "Because I don't want to be out of the industry because of bad reputation?" I persist to say plain text / indexable version...

I highly recommend Henry Mancini's Sounds and scores. It's one of the most compelling book about orchestration I've read (and I've read Adler, Joseph Wagner, Rimski Korsakov, Berlioz, Forsyth, and Koechlin's second volume, not counting Peter Alexander's I've not finished yet, nor Henry Brandt which ...

We don't know how things are going on, we don't know how is HZ process from start to finish. We just know there are assistants intervening during the process. So there is only one thing we can conclude from that.

In the topic you mention, the most striking thing was how Headshot distilled the information. He revealed things scarcely, inviting members to guess. Some interpreted it as trolling (I perceived it this way). It created tensions. Members of VI-C started accusing Headshot of not being the real author...

True indeed. Ad hominem means you attack someone directly, not the underlying thesis of his words (it would mean all Socrates arguments in Plato's dialogues are ad hominem... -_-" ). Because we can talk about ideas, test and challenge them, finally get to a consensus. Which is not the case if y...

It's not a matter of "true" or "false" (which are not free judgements because proof force the conviction), nor a matter of "faith" or "disbelief" (which are free but unsure judgements). It's just a matter of a probability so low we can call for evidence. The &...

Ad Hominem attacks are well-known logical fallacies -> http://www.logicalfallacies.info/relevance/ad-hominem/ Arthur Schopenhauer describes it in the introduction of Die Kunst, Recht zu behalten. So, I suggest we forget the last "you're crazy" messages and get back to the : "if it mov...
