Hans Zimmer
Uit HitStory, de popencyclopedie van School of Rock · Artiest
Hans Zimmer (geboren in 1957 in Frankfurt) had geen formele muziekopleiding. Hij leerde het vak in Londen, met synthesizers en als assistent van filmcomponist Stanley Myers. Met Rain Man (1988) brak hij door in Hollywood. Voor The Lion King (1994) won hij een Oscar. Hij bouwde een studio in Santa Monica, later Remote Control Productions, waar hij met een team van componisten werkte. Zijn stijl mengt orkest, synthesizers en zware percussie tot één geluid. In The Dark Knight (2008) is de Joker een schurende toon op cello. Voor Dune (2021) gebruikte hij vervormde stemmen en nieuwe instrumenten en won hij zijn tweede Oscar.
Luisteren
Luistertip. Luister naar de lange opbouw: een eenvoudig motief of een enkele toon wordt laag voor laag dikker gemaakt met percussie, synthesizers en orkest.
