Hans's voice is like a low octave saw wave.

[@RobKaiser_SQuest]

I've seen my own voice on an oscilloscope and it really is close to a saw wave. Your voice is basically a pulse wave being passed through resonant band-pass filters in your mouth.

[@emiel333]

Agree but with some smoothing on the saw and little to no detune ;)

[@flappymlg3607]

[@ingwerschorle_]

I recorded him and looped one waveform and it actually sounded kinda like a saw.😵

Clint... if you ever happen to read this, I would just like you to know that your music literally saved my life, whilst coping with the bereavement of my son. A swan song for Nina helped me get through some of my darkest times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@birdwave]

The Interstellar soundtrack left an impression on me before I left the cinema. I remember feeling uncomfortable in the volume and tension of it. I realized that was intentional. It made the movie for me.

[@MiguelBaptista1981]

I was glad for it, my mom has short ear sight, and she went to see it after so many years without going to the cinema, that was the only way she could hear the movie.

[@patrickmichael2968]

For sure. It physically hurt at times where I saw it. iMAX Los Angeles Chinese Theater. Whoa! Insane !!

[@sorucha8249]

Man I wish I could have seen Interstellar in the cinema I saw Blade Runner tho and your description fits perfectly for that one as well

[@makipri]

I watched it in the cinema and didn’t like the plot but only concentrated in the soundtrack which made a great impression in me. I knew Hans had just some time ago ordered two Knifonium tubular synths but couldn’t recognize it in the soundtrack. I asked Jonte Knif if Zimmer had used Knifonium in a movie yet and he said Interstellar and that he neither could tell where it’s heard even though he KNEW it was used there.

[@markgarcia8253]

Other than Dark Knight, his scores are forgettable cuz it only works with the movie. Still amazing and emotional work, but forgettable

Hans Zimmer sounds like the person who loves writing scores with really low, deep sounds. His voice reflects that, and it sounds wonderful.

These videos are so inspiring! Thank you Moog Music Inc.

[@tryfishin9]

Now that I own a Moog I can totally understand the seriousness of these beautiful machines If your thinking about getting on, just do it you won't regret it.

[@LBELIZABETH96]

Hans has been my favorite composer for many years. I saw him live a few weeks ago in NYC and it made me realize that not only is he a gifted composer and musician, but a brilliant sound engineer. I feel like Dunkirk is a great example of that where the music is the driving force of the movie but it is almost less music and more sound design. Such a genius

[@captainc00tie]

The sound of this thing straight up gives me chills Absolutely incredible

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

[@marksieczko4393]

Listen to Tangerine Dream particularly the live album 'Ricochet'. They were Masters of the Moog Modular played in real time before an audience. IMHO the best at using analog sequencing as a live, improvisational instrument not a riff machine.

[@321mzzz123]

somebody mentioned Ricochet. I'm a simple man, I see Ricochet, I press like button.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Sequencing is recording or programming the notes of a song. In other words the opposite of live.

[@cloudshigh5091]

@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 Mhmhmhhm yes and no. Old analog sequencers from the 70s allow to create and modify the sequence live. For example, the sequencer (mod. 104) of the Roland system 100: It has 2 rows of 12 buttons, so you can create a sequence of up to 24 notes. Each note in the sequence has its own button, which allows you to adjust the note live. So of course; it's easier to create a sequence from scratch at home, in the studio rather than live, but... you have some leeway in live.

[@paul-78]

@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 if you think a sequencer can't be played live, you don't understand sequencers

I love Moog products. Also great you guys provides Moog software synths on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) I bought the AniMoog for iOS and its lovely! The visual interface for the waveforms are stunning. There are a lot more Moog apps I want to buy, its insane how good the quality is. Hans Zimmer is a great film music composer, but if we talk about the best in the industry I say: Vangelis. This Greek man is a legend and he performs all his music live in one take. There is a video on KZbin where you can see Vangelis playing the keys with a total of 16 or 17 pedals all performed in real time. Don't get me wrong, I love Zimmer for what he does in Hollywood but it's a personal and emotional sense of perceiving music in one way or another.
