Hans Zimmer Scoring The Man of Steel - Part 1

[ConnorKon-El]

Woah...

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Limited Deluxe Edition cover on Amazon !!!

i'm assuming that its up for pre order

 

[Elevator Man]

That's a LARGE cover! Looks like it might be the same size as that TDK 2 CD Special Edition set that came out during it's dvd release.

Spoiler

 

[Megalith]

Ordered.

The limited edition CD cover would make a far better steelbook release for the DVD/Blu-ray combo pack. Having it for a CD release seems... excessive.

Nice!

Both the standard and deluxe editions will include the epic track Man of Steel (Hans Original Sketchbook) which clocks in at over 28 minutes long. This exclusive track is performed solely by Zimmer, and allows listeners to experience firsthand his initial experiments with the film's music, which ultimately lay the foundation for the film's final score.

The deluxe edition will be housed in a special embossed steel case, contain 24 score selections, and give fans the ability to access multiple videos showing an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the music.
Those fans who purchase the CD version of the deluxe edition will have the opportunity to download all 24 songs in DTS Headphone: X, which reproduces a cinematic multi-speaker surround sound experience using only the user's headphones. DTS Headphone:X presents a whole new way to hear mobile entertainment over headphones. The technology garnered rave reviews from the likes of The Wall Street Journal, and Cnet, among others at this year s CES convention.

In addition to his orchestral arrangements, Zimmer, no stranger to stepping outside the confines of traditional film scoring, has assembled two unique musical entities to contribute music to Man of Steel. The first, a drum orchestra, which was brought together for the album, is described by soundtrack co-producer Peter Asher as some of the best drummers in the world all playing simultaneously in a space designed for a symphony orchestra using not only rock drum kits but tympani and field drums as well.
The membership of this elite assembly consisists of many of today s top musicians including John JR Robinson, Jason Bonham, Josh Freese, Pharrell Williams, Danny Carey, Satnam Ramgotra, Toss Panos, Jim Keltner, Curt Bisquera, Trevor Lawrence Jr., Matt Chamberlain, Ryeland Allison, Bernie Dresel, Vinnie Colaiuta and Sheila E. Their contribution, under Zimmer's musical direction, creates a towering and powerful musical accompaniment to the film.
Another distinctive group the composer assembled was a gathering of eight of music's finest pedal steel guitarists who play classical string section parts. This collective, consisting of Chas Smith, Marty Rifkin, Skip Edwards, Boo Bernstein, Peter Frieberger, Rick Schmidt, JD Maness, John McClung, was described by Asher as, a uniquely new metallic orchestra added it's own distinct and soaring musical stamp to the soundtrack.

This is Superman. Nothing is excessive.

 

[A.Stabelli]

28 minutes long? Woah....

 

[Lily Adler]

Now that's impressive!

Patiently awaits for a bulge-a-riffic shot of Supes to challenge this.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I went ahead and pre-ordered both the soundtrack and the Deluxe edition. I mean the Deluxe is only $18 on Amazon. Why would you NOT get that one? I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

As a Zimmer enthusiast I'll be needing those extra tracks. Deluxe edition all the way.

I gotta admit, when I first saw trailer 3 I was pretty disappointed by the music....but after watching it for the thousandth time, it's really growing on me. Can't wait to hear the rest of it!

Sounds a little loopish. I'm going with production library track.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Yeah, seconded.

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

Zod: THIS IS MADNESS!
Jor-El: THIS IS KKKRRRRYYYPPPTON!! *Kick's Zod into Phantom Zone*

 

[Dark Raven]

This may have been discussed already, but is the trailer music the main Superman theme in this movie? Or is it just part of the soundtrack? Has anyone heard the main MOS theme yet?

 

[flickchick85]

We don't know what the main theme is yet. We just know that music is indeed from Zimmer's score.

 

[AnneFan]

Zod: THIS IS MADNESS!
Jor-El: THIS IS KKKRRRRYYYPPPTON!! *Kick's Zod into Phantom Zone*

You beat me to it!

Hopefully we get the track runtimes pretty soon.

I can't wait to hear the soundtrack because Hans Zimmerman is amazing. He did the score for The Bible and that music was really amazing. I have very high hopes for this score. That deluxe looks really cool too.

Yeah the Bible score is amazing. I like Nativity, Rise up in faith/ faith and the main theme which is also used for the creation chorale. Some of it sounds a bit Dark Knightish at times lol.
