Well his domain is commerical film score, and he makes a lot of money at that. True. This is the extent of it. So Thor, how about: "DK the best score of the last 5 years?" I could list a whole lot of new scores in five years by composers that are not even my personal favs that would be on that list well above DK, and those scores would be original scores.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 9:55 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) True, Zimmer isn't really a 'maestro' (that requires conducting skills), but I DO think he's a master of his domain. He's probably the best businessman film music has had.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 10:12 AM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) As I used to tell my children when they criticized the positive efforts of someone who was trying to be creative or make a contribution for the enjoyment of all... "If you can do better, knock yourself out!" This quieted them quickly and I hear them giving this "advice" to their friends at times.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 10:13 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Well his domain is commerical film score, and he makes a lot of money at that. True. This is the extent of it. So Thor, how about: "DK the best score of the last 5 years?" Well, I think it's a great score, but wouldn't go quite that far. I'm mostly a fan of Zimmer's 80's and 90's stuff, with some notable great ones in the 00's.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 10:15 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) As I used to tell my children when they criticized the positive efforts of someone who was trying to be creative or make a contribution for the enjoyment of all...

That is idiotic.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 11:07 AM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) As I used to tell my children when they criticized the positive efforts of someone who was trying to be creative or make a contribution for the enjoyment of all...

Ron, You have a valid point and well said. I was talking to children at the time I proffered this advice. When they pass it on it is spoken in "adultese" and is not so black and white.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 12:01 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Congrats to Hansi! Well deserved! Personally, I hope there will be a book about him sooner or later. Would have been very interesting.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 12:18 PM     By:   Dr Lenera   (Member) Can't say I agree with this at all, but the guy's soundtracks at the moment are very good sellers, so maybe they base it on that.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 2:04 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Interestingly Mr. Williams received a lifetime achievement award at the Classic Brits last year. Mr. Williams deserved it for sure. Which, according to sources, he promptly threw in the wastebasket after this year's telecast.

Internet Gods appeased now.    Posted:   Aug 15, 2013 - 3:15 PM     By:   BarleyBlair   (Member) Sounds like maybe 2013 is the end of the world, not 2012 as was first thought!    Posted:   Aug 16, 2013 - 9:04 AM     By:   smuli of finland   (Member) In an era of upsetting news, this one takes the cake, and has it too. I think those giving this shiny piece of metal-or-some-such are way, way wrong. What 'outstanding contribution' means, is out of my reach. Somehow he got popular. Somehow his sound was exactly what audiences and thus directors wanted for their films. The darkknights and inceptions are really bland compositionally (noteworthy: my personal life savers are Morricone & Goldenthal & Kamen, whose music is quite complex). However, those sounds that Hans has made, they stand out, at least from orchestral and thematic material. Also, I guess it must be acknowleged that the Z-sound has been copied to numerous films. Thus, he has made a significant contribution to Music. This award is to me just one more in the line of Santaolalla getting the oscar twice. But, perhaps, this gives hope to my (not yet formed) one-man-chorus-band called "Acca Pella", in which I record all kinds of sounds from my mouth and sample them as I wish. My band would stand out. I see myself accepting a Brit. Who'll applaud? Who'll download?    Posted:   Aug 16, 2013 - 9:17 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) One need not be able to DO better....only to recognize the difference between what is GOOD and what is NOT.

I do not begrudge Mr. Zimmer any success or accolades. I begrudge him my inability to related to his musicality.     General Discussion: Zimmer To Receive "Outstanding Contribution" Brit    << < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
