![]() ![]() To get the complete experience with this interview, I suggest you hit play on the track below and listen to some of the music from Batman Begins while reading. It was in here where I sat down to talk with Hans and James for a mere ten minutes. I couldn't dream of a more perfect studio to compose some of the greatest soundtracks ever heard. In the middle sat a gigantic computer workstation with at least four monitors and a mixer. To each side, books on music and composition filled the walls. One wall was completely covered with audio panels, amplifiers, and switchboards. What I discovered was awe-inspiring - Hans Zimmer's "office" was an immense room, constructed out of rich wood and filled with lavish red velour furniture and countless instruments, including a piano. When I showed up at the studio in Santa Monica, I wasn't sure what to expect. Let's just say that their work on The Dark Knight should not be overlooked - Zimmer and Howard have promised one hell of an incredible score! The soundtrack is always near the top of my playlist and I typically listen to it almost every night, so you can understand why it was such an honor to meet these two. When I say that Batman Begins is my all-time favorite score, that is no understatement. If you've seen any of the trailers for the film, you'll instantly recognize the iconic score that has so brilliantly become the sound of this new Batman. ![]() The two talented composers are teaming up again to bring us the score to The Dark Knight, a movie I know many are looking forward to this July. Last weekend I had the wonderful honor of meeting both Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard in person at their studio in Santa Monica. ![]()
