Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss composer Hans Zimmer signing onto the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:35 Hans Zimmer is scoring the TV Show! He is such a well-known composer in the film world. His music is famous for how profound it is, no matter the film. From Kung Fu Panda to the Dark Knight, Hans knows how to create a world.· 11:05 Hans has a huge sound. I’m interested how music of that size will fit into the world of Harry Potter. John William’s themes are so personal and quiet, which isn’t what Hans is known for.· 19:45 There’s a lot of room to explore. Music is a 3D art, and that dimensions will hopefully be used. However, this world has boundaries, and it would be a shame if Hans ventured too far.· 24:40 His music is intense! It’s full of electronics and different textures. But is that the right feel for Harry Potter? Maybe not. John Williams was famous for his orchestral scores, and Hans would do well to stay in the acoustic world.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.
