More quotes by Hans Zimmer
Anything can become a musical sound. The wind on telegraph wires is a great sound get it into your machine and play it and it becomes interesting.
Hans Zimmer
You can only make a good noise on the guitar if you're committed. Little careful noise doesn't work. You have to be bold.
Hans Zimmer
The rules are: The more playful we get, the more we can get rid of the rules.
Hans Zimmer
A violin is nothing more than a piece of wood and a dead cat. But it's a piece of technology. So when computers came along, in the '70s, I suddenly thought, hang on a second, this is interesting. These things can become an instrument. So I just became very interested in them, and started, playing with electronics.
Hans Zimmer
As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.
Hans Zimmer
All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology.
Hans Zimmer
I try to communicate with the musicians the way I communicate with the filmmakers. I'm not going to say to them, can we be a little bit more presto here. Hang on, this should be a bit more exciting, or I try to explain the scene to them, or I try to explain the context the notes are supposed to live in.
Hans Zimmer
The honest truth is that it was just traumatizing with the piano, with the authority of the piano teacher, getting rapped across the knuckles, and so whenever you put a piece of music in front of me, there's a Pavlovian reaction where it starts off.
Hans Zimmer
I've spent my life trying to make things simpler.
Hans Zimmer
Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?
Hans Zimmer
If something happened where I couldnt write music anymore, it would kill me. Its not just a job. Its not just a hobby. Its why I get up in the morning.
Hans Zimmer
I think one of the things which always is forgotten in music class, is the first thing you have to do as a musician is you have to learn how to listen.
Hans Zimmer
I get all my good ideas sort of at one o' clock in the morning, and I tried for a while to behave like normal people.
Hans Zimmer
I've never had a real job in my life. I didn't learn anything, I was terrible at school. It was just this thing. Music was all I wanted to do.
Hans Zimmer
Trust me, if you're working on a $70 million movie and you're the last guy, you feel all that weight on your shoulders.
Hans Zimmer
The writing gets done away from the keyboard and away from the studio in my head, in solitude. And then I come in and hopefully have something, then I wrestle with sounds and picture all day long. But the ideas usually come from a more obscure place, like a conversation with a director, a still somebody shows you, or whatever.
Hans Zimmer
I want to go and write music that announces to you that you can feel something. I don’t want to tell you what to feel, but I just want you to have the possibility of feeling something.
Hans Zimmer
Get rid of the shitty sound. Life's too short.
Hans Zimmer
Having the great opportunity on a daily basis to sit in front of a blank page is terrifying, and at the same time really exciting. I can't actually get better at my job, because every time you finish something you start with a blank page, with nothing.
Hans Zimmer
When I was 13, when I was 14, when I was in England, yeah all I wanted to do was go and see The Who, go and see The Stones.
