Hello All,
 
This is HanZ checking in from Santa Monica. I figured that after sitting around on my butt procrastinating all day, I should give you young ambitious composers a quick taste from my upcoming, unannounced collaboration with director Chris Nolan for "Inception II". Much of the second film and it's music expand on themes of the first. I've been quite excited to work on this while scoring "The Dark Night Rises" as they are very different soundtracks.
 
I originally started work on this project a few weeks ago, but I restarted it on Wednesday from scratch. The piece you're about to hear sits outside of my comfort zone because Chris asked me to break the mold and create some complex orchestral textures without the aid of synthesizers. Music without synthesizers? That's how you know the world is ending. To tell you the truth, I had to have composer John Powell and his assistant Benny C come into the studio to help conceive this.
 
We do go several directions in a very short time for this scene, but eventually return to one of my favorite themes from the first film. Feel free to read the synopsis (which isn't supposed to be available to the public ) to get a better feel for what the music is trying to portray.

The strings were, of course, recorded live (at one point or another to make the LASS and OSR libraries). Woodwinds and Percussion are temporarily split between EWQL SO and Kontakt. We originally had started to use Spitfire Brass for this, but with the lack of flexibility in instrument configuration, they might as well have named it "Shitfire" Brass. So, we split the expanded brass section between Vienna Dimension Brass and EWQL SO. Compared to the ridiculous live brass ensemble we used in the first film, this is a little more modest. But, the 8-piece low brass gives us enough extra boost along with the other instrumentation.
 

INSTRUMENTATION:
Woodwinds: Piccolo Flute, Flute 1, Flute 2 | Oboe 1, Oboe 2, English Horn 1, English Horn 2 | Bb Clarinet 1, Bb Clarinet 2, Bass Clarinet | Bassoon 1, Bassoon 2, Contrabassoon
Brass: French Horn 1 - 6 | Piccolo Trumpet | Trumpets 1 - 6 | Tenor Trombone 1 - 4 | Bass Trombones 1 & 2 | Tubas 1 & 2
Percussion: Cymbals (Zildjan), Bass Drum (Wagner), Hammer (Mahler), Timpani (4), Triangle, Anvils | Celesta, Glock, Chimes, Vibraphone, Harp | Piano (RD-700GX)
Strings: 1st Violins (16) | 2nd Violins (16) | Violas (12) | Cellos (10) | Basses (8)

137 Minutes - Rated PG for Brutal Violence and Explicit Sexuality

Dom and Arthur have been contracted by a powerful Eastern-European firm to help militarize the mind of a Russian army general against standard extraction techniques. As they prepare for a difficult assignment, the General's brother is suspiciously appointed Prime Minister of Russia. Meanwhile, Dom discovers that the contractor who hired him is part of a CIA black ops division tasked to infiltrate the mind of the general and extract information about an unverified weapons program.
 
Upon embarking in their first dream session with the General, Dom and Arthur are instantly vaulted into the depraved subconscious of a sociopath who has long since been compromised by a lust for power, violence and destruction. The duo quickly stumble across vivid memories of the General and his brother, now Prime Minister, carrying out war crimes against Russian citizens with suitcase neutron bombs.
 
When Dom reveals the startling truth to his CIA contractor, the U.S. Secretary of State ultimately implores them to hijack the General's ambitions without starting a war. Dom assembles new and old friends to develop a method of inception that would subconsicously motivate the General to publicly reveal the shocking truth; thereby giving reason to unite world powers in neutralizing Russia's Prime Minister without him first inflicting mass casualties.

P.S. I didn't have access to my writing room (and sample farm) because of renovations. I had to use my MacBook Pro, and it had many issues and several crashes trying to handle a large template. RAM usage and purging had to be monitored constantly.

A Storm is Coming

Alrighty, so this piece was written for a client out in Atlanta, Georgia...hopefully their client likes it as well haha! But I wanted to shared this piece because it was truly a fun piece to write!!! Sure I had less than a weekend to write 8 minutes of music. I wrote up a quick 1:30 demo to them and the director liked it but hadn't heard back from their client as for a green light yet but said I should go on anyway. So Friday, Saturday Night (because of work eating up my entire day) and all day Sunday up until about 3 am and even this morning I was writing this piece....The toughest part about this piece was trying to keep the momentum going for 8 minutes long and still retain that feel and style

When I was first approached about the project, I saw the video and instantly thought of two composers - Hans Zimmer's "Time" and "One Simple Idea" from the Inception soundtrack and also Philip Glass' Metamorphosis album. So I went to town with a simple piano segment which then was introduced to the guitars with their repetitive patterns. The strings were going to be a major factor in this piece as well. I also wanted to add in some electronica elements as well but at a minimum so that the listeners could be sucked into with the strings and piano.

Some obstacles along the way aside from trying to keep the momentum going for 8 minutes was the many modulations and key changes to get to a certain key I wanted. There is a 30 second bit found at 6:03 that frustrated me for a good hour on how to land it in a certain key....the key where the guitar and drums come in. That whole modulating segment took a great deal of time because there were many variations to go but none of them went as smooth as the one you hear.

Some other tidbit information to listen for: at 5:12, the guitar segment there.....I didn't realized it at first because I thought it sounded cool, but those three notes that play there are actually similar to the three notes you hear on the Spiderman cartoon theme haha!!! Also at 6:26, that key change from a G major to a B major was an idea that I had hard on a few Danny Elfman soundtracks.

The drumming found at 6:35 was a lot of fun to do! In the film, it's just clips of a time lapse sequence of downtown Atlanta at night....really cool looking, so to give a feeling of excitement and thrill of downtown I decided to try out this Coldplay kind of feel. It wasn't easy as I'm not a drummer by any means, so I had to figure out what a real drummer could do while I performed the recording on the keyboard haha!!! That last segment is also my favourite due to that sense of accomplishment you feel...I dunno if it's the drumming or the strings or what, but somehow it just feels like this motivation to keep doing the best you can.

Anyway, so there you go! Unfortunately due to this project, it will not be a downloadable piece. But feel free to comment or ask or anything!!! Since this is still being under review, there might be changes needed....if anything I'm assuming the last segment where the drums come in at 6:36. So until then, enjoy the piece!!!

Theme from Inception (Time) - Hans Zimmer (Epic Dubstep Remix)

Thanks for feedback and support, if u like it,feel free to comment,and criticism...I appreciate it all :) 
H. Zimmer's soundtrack 'Time' from Inception movie is one of my favorite and Hans Zimmer is my favorite composer, the man is a genius and I really enjoy in his sound,because his music is really magical in some way...as it is not of this world,real journey,and every piece(composition) tells the story.That is the ability and gift of true genius artists,to tell the story without lyrics,words and vocals,but only with music....

This club version would be nice for the last track in DJ set,BUT...
WARNING: It is not official remix,all rights belongs to original owner and publisher(Mr.Zimmer and WMG) and this version is not released on any label...not for the public/events use...(use it on your own)...
 Original sound is not changed or edited in any way,I only put my own produced original loop beat and adapt the tempo.
Update:
There is a crackle at the end of the track(from 3.25min),but I noticed too late, I was already adapted sample(H.Zimmer-Time)  to my own produced original beat loop,but didn't first heard the quality of the downloaded sample to the end.I really apologize for that glitch,I will fix that in final version,when I catch some free time for it...
Thanks
