How To Make Hans Zimmer's Epic Inception Brass in 5 Minutes

[@keithnextdoor]

I had the Hans Zimmer Masterclass ad before the video started haha, so cool

[@qmillomadeit]

This is amazing wtf you got alot of talent to do this by ear!

[@treyxaviermusic]

This is great stuff, really awesome thank you!

[@WrektSK]

Didn't expect to see you here lol. But yeah Alex's tutorials are super precise when it comes to cinematic stuff. He's a gem for us

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

I like how you cut it all straight to the meat. Usually youtube means 80% of water and 20% of information for people to spam those videos afap. Have my like for this.

[@j_edwards6075]

While I don't understand any of the musical terminology that's being said I can appreciate your knowledge and talent that clearly comes across in this video. Pretty sure I was just trying to find out what instrument makes that iconic Zimmer sound in his soundtracks and found this video. Cheers

Hans Zimmer actually used 6 bass trombones, 6 tenor trombones, 4 tubas in the middle and 6 French horns above. Check out the making of the score.

[@samthisam570]

I think he may have meant that the tubas were seated in the middle, rather than strictly playing higher than the trombones.

[@ABE2000]

If Spitfire Audio can make Hans Zimmer Brass, it will be possible.

[@jonnyjonnyjonnyjonny]

'THE BRASS IS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST HERE'. You sir, were ahead of your time.

[@kappabravomusic2101]

Interesting to see that HZ's music is in fact not superbly complicated if you break it down to particles. Thank you for this video. Very cool

[@willy31121996]

Why is Samuel Umtiti composing music and not preparing for the Champions League??

[@itsvoogle]

lmaoo

[@romualdphillip666]

Lol

[@tommyakakomali8766]

hahaha

[@nezlo9612]

🤣🤣

[@ralphmarbler27]

Again with the Samuel Umtiti jokes? We had too much of them on Instagram, damn 😂😂😂

[@ErikOrchestralTutorials]

I find trying to recreate parts of a score very helpful for learning new tricks about composition and instrumentation. Super good ear excercise as well!

[@fidesmartin]

5 minutes tutorials are the best! keep going, maestro!

[@paulg3388]

I’m not sure whether to just be impressed or extremely envious :-) I’m very new to orchestration and trying to learn from all of you talented people. Thanks for such amazing videos you have such talent.

[@chhau123]

this channel is a gold mine

[@FelipeQueiroga]

Great video! There's one thing that's also really used by Hans Zimmer which really helps with creating walls of sound: synthesizers!

[@herono-4292]

My favorite music of Alex Moukala is this one

[@ShawneX0007]

ok you made this exactly ayear ago... i found it helpful... thanks alex

[@tnbee]

thank you!

[@quantumofburningsteel5881]

Great! 🤟🏻Nicely deconstructed. Something to try out 👍🏻

[@DacianGradaMusic]

God, those basses from Ark 1 are *_TASTY_* :O great one bro, I really enjoy these how-tos for a specific composer's style!

[@Evangelionism]

What a coincidence... Minutes before Alex uploaded this Brass topic, I was studying the brass in *Under a Burning Sky* (Shiro Sagisu/Shin Godzilla).

[@brodiemarshall729]

amazing video. succinct, useful and entertaining, thanks Alex !!

That sounds epic mate - awesome work

Hiya. Enjoyed this vid and learnt some thing from you so thank you for that

[@mcbigdick2671]

I love this tutorial. Nice cuts and straight to the point.

[@chrispantos3559]

Thank you very much Alex!

[@vzm4663]

Incredible analyzation 🔥

[@vickemannen9276]

An “in 5 minutes” vid by Alex? What?? - Naaaah, not possible

[@conforzo]

French horns can never achieve the strength of trumpets of trombones. In Mahlers 1st symphony finale 8 horns get the dynamic of 2 trumpets and 2 trombones.

[@collinbrefka]

Yeah, from studying orchestration formally, I generally see people equate the sound of 2 horns to 1 trombone or 1 trumpet.

[@kylejudkins754]

modern composers dont care lol

[@collinbrefka]

@@kylejudkins754 What are you talking about? If they ever want to have their music played by a live orchestra, they better care! Certainly people who weren't trained formally like Hans Zimmer tend to have pretty basic/poor conceptions of orchestration, but any contemporary classical composer certainly needs to be an expert in all realms of writing and arranging! Any film composer worth his or her salt would also need to be well versed in balance and orchestration.

[@gtizzle101]

@@collinbrefka what does op mean by getting the dynamic?

[@collinbrefka]

@@gtizzle101 I'm assuming he means that the 8 horns achieve the same dynamic level as the 2 trumpets and 2 trombones, like I stated earlier. OP may have to confirm though!

[@ArturoAlbero]

Great tips! I would use them in my next compositions, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@johnzachariahg]

Exactly what I need.

[@InternetMameluq]

Great, this is exactly what I was wondering about forever... I thought it was the French horn, but not exactly...

[@herono-4292]

I have a request for brass. Could you make a tutorial about how Zimmer made "oil rig - man of steel" This song contains good brass too

[@fergucinestudios]

Sounds Great

[@dreamsamir2769]

Amazing Video, short and suer useful 👍👍👍

[@murkdurk8961]

You sir, are a boss.

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

0:50 large brass sounds are made of multiple instruments even tho they seem like just a French horn or a single brass instrument 5:39 vsts

[@munavvarali9278]

What u mean?

[@MJ-sy2en]

Two videos and I subbed

[@davidklemencz]

Great!! Thanks Alex👌💕

[@notproductiveproductions9255]

thx so much

[@RubinHenkel]

Well done!!

[@TerenceKearns]

2:20 I suspect Hans didn't do that is because 5ths are "power chords" as used by heavy metal and hard rock. That's what's going on with this piece. It's literally metal music (brass) ;)

[@jackdeansohl]

Perfect

[@mupicap7927]

Need this library

[@lukdub]

Nice. Thank you.

[@ErikSallad1]

YES!! Thank u!

[@bigmoomusic]

badass!

Please make "THE MOLE" by Hans Zimmer

[@uncledrew7633]

Love your channel bro love seeing brothas be in to film composition and orchestration. I thought I was the only one. I use Finale and Garritan library in VSL do you actually write every note in notation or is it more like FL studio?

[@Homieonice]

yo the way your ear is set up is crazy LMAO

[@AakashRMusic]

*Awesome*

[@Afthalina]

Best ever

[@benoitpiret9065]

I think he recorded the brass in a room where they had a grand piano open as well. the brass made the piano strings vibrate

[@EdwinDPZ]

Wait minute... that's totally note for note the music used for Batman v Superman. I knew people accused Zimmer of reusing music but damn.

[@nyctus2024]

idk how to make brass this powerful

Is Metropolis Ark 1 alone enough to start with? Or do I need any other libraries?

[@bgranke]

I’d start with it, but I began with EW symphony orchestra silver. I have it now and ark 1 with all the articulations and stuff is just amazing. It sounds so good. But it’s true, you need some emotional strings too, my EW satisfies that. Cinematic strings is great too.

[@DavidEHarrisMusic]

What sound libraries do you use?

[@TheSoundbar]

why did he say the basses play c 3 and c 4 but they played e flat 2 and 3 ?

Damn

[@ziptidemusic5390]

What about the cimbasso? That has that really "phat" punch from the trombone family.

thats great tho

[@cakershake]

weird how you say you don't know music theory in ALOT of your videos yet you clearly do. Why lie?. . . . or are you one of 'those' guys? Hope not 'cuz I enjoy your videos and philosophy

[@AlexMoukala]

I will not proclaim I know something unless I'm very good at it. With theory, I'm aware of the meaning of scales, names of intervals, maj/min/aug/dim/sus triads, 7th chords and inversions and watched a few counterpoint videos. However, I am not actively thinking of those subjects while I compose, as I rely most on my ear. If you play one chord progression and you ask me which chords are being played, it'll take me a bit to figure that out. A master of theory will figure out instantly, will tell you what's the exact relationship between the chords, how you can make it better etc.

[@FEAROWNAGE]

I don’t hear a choir at all.
