Hans Zimmer - Woad To Ruin

Hi there and welcome to my latest track, 'Gladiator - The Battle - A Tribute to Hans Zimmer'

Gladiator is the original soundtrack of the 2000 film of the same name. The original score and songs were composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard and were released in 2000, titled Gladiator: Music From the Motion Picture. The Lyndhurst Orchestra performing the score was conducted by Gavin Greenaway.

The album won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and was also nominated for the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Score ("Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music").

Background:
I remember the first time I watched this movie I was in absolute awe of the amazing soundtrack music composed by Hans Zimmer. 
Although I love every single piece from the soundtrack, I have to admit that 'The Battle' is my most favourite. 

This scene in the movie is visually incredible and illustrates the true grittiness and gore of Ancient Warfare, without any of the glitz and glamour of earlier films about the Roman Empire. The opening scene had the same impact on me as 'Saving Private Ryan', pulling you straight into the midst of a terrifying battle.

Although the visual quality of the costumes, props and scenery are amazing, for me this scene is brought to life by this amazing piece of music. It is so powerful and evocative and like a battle once its started, there is no turning back. 

I have often enjoyed playing around with small parts of this soundtrack, and always thought it would be an awesome challenge to try and cover just a small part of this awesome theme, as a tribute to Hans Zimmer.

So about a year ago, I set about a little project to do exactly that; and after about 2-3 months of work, gave up as it was simply to hard LOL!

My method, had been to load an MP3 of the original motion picture soundtrack into my DAW. I then proceeded to pick instruments that were as close to the originals so I could play along, instrument by instrument, track by track. I continued to do this bar by bar, sometimes note by note,  until I had enough to switch off the original MP3 and get the basic structure and feel. I then set about picking even more instruments so I could fill in the gaps with additional layers and sounds in an attempt to get that same rich sound quality. 

The first 1.5 minutes took me about 2 months and during the 3rd month I only managed another minute or so, largely due to the complexity of how the waltz movement emerges from the end of the bridge that follows the introduction section. It was awful giving up, but then I did reflect that trying this in the first place was a rather tall order and a lot harder than I imagined.

A few months ago I came back to this and listened to my intro section. Listening with fresh ears got me instantly hooked again, as I realised I had done well; and that it would be a great shame not to try and finish it. So I started the whole process again from the start of the waltz. But only tried to do a small section at a time, taking breaks in between to work on my other compositions. This worked well, as it gave me that fresh ear each time I came back to it. and boosted my confidence as I knew if I was patient that I would get it finished.

I personally feel this tribute track is a real achievement for me and now I have painstakingly picked my way through it, am looking forward to using some of the lessons learnt on some more original compositions.

I hope you enjoy my creation and welcome any comments and feedback.

Music has always been an integral part of my life. From my earliest memories, it has shaped how I express my emotions and bring my creative ideas to life. Whether it was hours spent with a slightly out-of-tune upright piano or strumming on my sister's guitar, I was hooked. While I struggled with traditional music theory and never quite mastered reading or writing music, my passion for sound and composition only grew.

My journey truly began with a Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard that allowed me to record simple melodies. Throughout my teenage years, I poured countless hours and resources into building my first collection of music gear, recording everything from theme songs to pop and punk covers with friends. In my early twenties, I played in several bands and immersed myself in the live music scene, which was a great experience but often came with late nights and long hours.

During this time, I also began exploring electronic music more seriously, acquiring my first proper setup: a Kawai keyboard, Technics sequencer, Alesis HR16 drum machine, and a Yamaha MT100 4-track recorder. These tools opened up new possibilities and inspired me to experiment with electronic music production and midi-based compositions.

A lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and cinematic soundtracks, I soon found myself gravitating toward composing thematic music. Movies, being my second greatest passion, heavily influenced the direction of my creative work.

In my 30s, life’s demands shifted my focus toward career and family, but my love for music never waned. Entering my 40s, I had the opportunity to refocus, acquiring new gear and fully committing to my musical development. With the help of modern technology, I now have a home studio where I can bring my musical ideas to life with greater precision and depth.

My current setup includes a Korg Triton LE, Cubase 12, Nektar LE88, Steinberg UR824 interface, and an array of VSTs such as Kontakt, Halion Sonic SE, Retrologue, and EastWest Symphonic Choirs, among others. This home studio, built over nearly a decade, allows me to push creative boundaries and explore new sounds and compositions.

Based in Liverpool, I’m currently writing is almost every style. Rock songs for my band Inner Fire. Pop tracks inspired by the 80's and 90's. Theme music inspired by film and literature with the aspiration of one day scoring a full-length production. 

Since joining SoundCloud, I've had the privilege of connecting with talented musicians and creative minds from around the world. One of the most fulfilling collaborations has been with John Styles, where we’ve explored a wide range of musical genres. 

I’m also proud to serve as the principal composer for Music for Brains, a project dedicated to healing through music and creativity. Working on this project has been deeply rewarding, as it has allowed me to connect with individuals on an emotional level, crafting compositions inspired by their stories.

I’m always open to feedback and collaboration, as it helps me refine my craft. While working in the music industry is a dream, I am also a grateful family man, and the support of my loved ones plays a crucial role in fuelling my passion. I am thankful to have such a strong network of family and friends who encourage me to keep pursuing my musical ambitions.

If you're in need of music for a production or project, feel free to reach out. I would be excited to contribute my creativity and help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my music—I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Matt
