Now We Are Free I never thought this would happen — but the ethereal melody of “Now We Are Free” has transcended the sands of time and cinema — making its return in “Gladiator 2.” This evocative song, originally composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa […]

A Time of Quiet Between the Storms After completion of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune in 2021, Hans Zimmer, was still inspired and continued writing music. This led to the piece, A Time of Quiet Between the Storms. Zimmer tours extensively, bringing his film music to audiences […]

TIME Inception is a 2010 science fiction film written, and directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Cobb; a professional thief who steals information by infiltrating the subconscious. Cobb is offered a chance to have his criminal history erased in exchange for a […]

The Survivor The Survivor (HBO Max) is about Harry Haft, a real-life survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp; a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps, operated by Nazi Germany, in occupied Poland during World War II and the Holocaust. In Auschwitz, Haft (Ben […]

Matera Matera is my favorite piece from Hans Zimmer’s No Time To Die score. The key and positioning left me no choice but to add You Only Live Twice here and there as well. This is the final James Bond film for Daniel Craig, who […]

D U N E Hans Zimmer’s DUNE soundtrack is absolutely gnarly. It played out brilliantly in the film too. Personally, I don’t know much about Dune (the book). The synopsis seems incredibly complicated — and it’s clearly been tough to bring this story to life […]

Rush Directed by Ron Howard, Rush is a sports biography film based on the rivalry of Formula One drivers; James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula 1 season. I love Hans Zimmer’s “driving” and thematic music. I wasn’t going to capture that on […]

Chevaliers De Sangreal Chevaliers De Sangreal (The Da Vinci Code) is a glorious piece by Hans Zimmer. He has this knack for writing film music with a slight pop sensibility. If we think of Gladiator, Inception and Interstellar — the underpinning of the music is […]

Beautiful Lie I highly recommend the extended cut of Batman v Superman on HBO Max. A full 30 minutes has been added to the film which develops the characters and storyline much better. It’s essentially “The Snyder Cut” of the film. Beautiful Lie is the […]

No Time for Caution This music is from one of the more intense scenes of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar — as they attempt a perilous docking maneuver that is incredibly intricate and fraught with danger. The Endurance and Endurance B (piloted by Cooper and Dr. Brand) […]

Batman Begins Eptesicus is a prominent piece in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This has always been one of my favorite pieces of music, and it’s usually centered around Bruce Wayne’s love interest, Rachel Dawes. I’ve been re-watching Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. All […]
