I wonder if sober Zimmer can pronounce my name...

This is exactly like any saturday night in my house... ...except for my composing skills, my outboard, my living room and my friends.

Hans is proud of Ramin

"I'm just happy if it's not shit" - Hans Zimmer.

This looks a lot like Da Vinci's last supper (after Jesus got into modular synths).

The amount of talent and experience in this room is daunting. True legends.

Hans clearly admires Ramin's music over all the others lol

I want someone to look at me the way Hans looks at Ramin

Whoever thinks Hans Zimmer "doesn't do his own work" or "is only successful because of his resources" is undeniably mistaken. Im seeing a guy who cares about his friends and loves to bring people alongside sharing his incredible wealth of knowledge.

I love the chemistry between Hans and Ramin - you can feel it just by the way Hans looks at him before anyone else while talking - it seems they are kind of big and young brothers; It's obvious there's a really great connection, especially respect and admiration.

i like drunk Zimmer

drunkirk

Wow, it's the first time I've heard Hans talk about The Prince of Egypt. It's like everyone forgot about that masterpiece. To me, it is one of Hans' best pieces of music.

A conversation with seven men that have totally and utterly without a doubt 100% surrendered to the task of craftsmanship

Ramin Djawadi is so shy:)

I love the way hans commands the room with such humble manner.

It is like Hans arranged whole thing just for Ramin. He's so into Ramin.

Ben Wallfisch quickly becomes one of my favorite composers. I first read his name in the credits for Blade Runner 2049 and then I've seen Dunkirk again and noticed him as additional composer in that and after that in Batman v Superman. At this point I went to his imdb and he's done IT, Hidden Figures, A Cure for Wellness and world on Harry Potter, V for Vendetta and 12 years a slave as composer, orchestrator or conductor. Keep it up, dude. A real Zimmer junior…

man... beeing there, sitting in this table as a sucssusful composer.... that the dream... some day ill get there!

Hans zimmer and Ramin make this table perfect

It's so funny to see all of them trying to read Ramin's work, his inspirations, creative process, and struggles and he's just there not saying much, just agreeing with whatever they come up with. lol

1:15:44 Ramin's story - best part, I watched it like 10 times!

Best 2am to 4 am ever

Glad Ramin is there.

That table is clearly square.

I liked this discussion the most when they weren't forced to talk about samples. They were having an amazing back and forth about writing for film, temp tracks, and questioning yourself, then had to stop and be like "Oh wait, we have to be talking about samples."

I love the fact the Hans is literally only looking at Ramin.

"You'll never make me another cup of coffee" That pretty much sums it up. Plus the geeky stuff. Priceless. Kudos Spitfire Audio!

Ramin Djawadi and Hans Zimmer My favourites😊

I wish Ramin Djawadi talked more here. I'd be interested to hear some of his takes on the topics.

I bet the man has so many more great stories! Some people would choose film stars or football players to hang out with if they had the chance, but I'd take a glass of wine in the Zimmer studio with this bunch of visionaries any day. That was fantastic, thanks Spitfire.

Hans zimmers voice is so mesmorizing. It's wonderful.

I would love to watch more roundtables like these! Its been awhile since Hollywood Reporter did a composer roundtable, so this is amazing! Would even be cool if there were episodes with small roundtables between composers and directors, or composers and orchestral players/musical collaborators.

I love how the whole room gets silent when Hans tells a story. The best! Thanks for this, Spitfire. 🙏

Thanks a ton Spitfire for coming up with roundtable sessions. Hope there will be more roundtable sessions in the coming days :)

So amazing to hear the war stories from composers in the trenches. I have the biggest smile on my face. Most tend to ignore the fact that this is a life choice as a career, but unlike most careers, incredible passion is attached and shared amongst peers. Thanks to all for your music, passion and emotion. The world is a better place because of all of you. Thanks also to Spitfire for this round table and all of their products and digitized passion.

This is how interviews SHOULD be conducted, please do more"

SO many gems in this conversation. I can rewatch this over and over

We can be so grateful for so much talent united under the roof of the greatest music composer of all time. I am so happy and so grateful. There is nothing like good stories and good wine. That is how wonderful projects are created. Some are even immortal.

"you will never make me another coffee" Hans Zimmer to young Ramin

What a table. Full of musical knowledge.

Am I the only one who needs to re watch this every so often, so gooood thank you Spitfire 🙏

Wonderful video! I enjoyed it a lot! To Spitfire Studios and all the musicians/composers that were present, Thank You so much for this video.

The subtle motion capture on their faces is gorgeous, great cinematography!

I watched a great video once describing how the piano coming into the mostly very medieval sounding score of Game of Thrones is symbolic of Cersei's new world with the piano being a much younger instrument than the cello, the guitar etc. Also the instrumentation of the show is spectacular, with all these acoustic instruments for the more "realistic" stuff and then ambient electronics for the "supernatural".

Wow, amazing round. Genius of Music. Every single person at this table.

Ramin is my second favourite from the table. You already know who my favorite is.

You guys are great - thanks for sharing this with us Christian and Paul. What a special insight into how these composers put their music together.

Glad to be here and thx for posting this round table gathering.

Spitfire Audio and the amazing libraries they produce has changed my perspective on being a composer and how I approach producing music. Thank you Spitfire Team!

Wow! This is so insightful. Thank you Spitfire!

Wow striking cinematography ...and the formation of the composers is like the last supper !

Ramin is definitely getting the continuous attention from Hans and Ben drinks more wine to process that LOL

Fantastic insight into the evolution of Orchestra samples, their use in real orchestration and the kind of thinking which sets these Composers apart. Completely fascinating!

We need more of these! Excellent discussion

Its 4am and couldn't stop watching this! I love seeing things from the composer perspective.

Great stuff, Spitfire, thank you for this!

O..M..G.. this is the way to round off the weekend. Thank you Spitfire.

This the best brass tacks discussion of composing ever. Need more of these with composers and their teams.

There is so much knowledge in this talk, thank you Spitfire.

Thank you for an enjoyable roundtable discussion! :D

omgggggg thank you spitfire for putting this together

zimmer is gone...did they start filming after they opened the tenth bottle

Absolutely brilliant video. A meeting of the Minds. Magical, truly magical.

Just wanted to comment on the production sound on this video. Either the post dept should get a medal..or your production sound guy should. That was not an easy micing situation.

Ramin is just me, when you are too shy in a group meeting , you just pretend youre drinking

Please more Roundtables! This was amazing.

I did an online course with Hans on the MASTERCLASS series way back in 2017, this is such a buzz to hear this roundtable discussion over a good glass of Red, with the advantages of hindsight, loving it as I raise a glass, Thank you Gentlemen 🍷

WOW! This round table discussion with Hans Zimmer is an absolute gem! As a fellow composer, I'm in awe of his talent and the insights he shares. It's incredible to hear from such a legendary figure in the industry. Thank you for uploading this video and giving us the opportunity to learn from the best. Hans Zimmer continues to inspire and elevate the art of film scoring. Truly a masterclass!

damn, how emotional..... samples can be a Memorial to the performer and their rare instrument..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats a gigantic thing !!!!!!! to be cherished for ages to come...... nice socks Hans !

This is the greatest video I have ever watched.

Jesus, I'll bet that is a 10 million dollar studio and I'm not even joking ONE BIT

Hans Zimmer - The lion king, Inception, Dunkirk. Like we needed that.

If you find me in a scene like this. Shoot me on the spot.

That was probably the most rivetting chat I have ever watched on KZfaq. I am not a Composer or even a Musician, I am a music geek that has just got a synth in my middle age and I adored being a fly on the wall there, please do it again. 🎶💯😊

Amazing. Thank you for all the insight!

This is fantastic. Perfect way to end a Sunday....I feel like cracking open a bottle of red and joining them. Thanks so much for this Spitfire :)

This is such a professional production: the set, lighting, audio and video! I just thought it was some random youtube video i stumbled upon.

I really love spitfire not because they make the most amazing sounding libraries but because they will give you the control to shape the tone anyway you want, they give you the choice of individuality which I think is amazing

Glad they discussed about the unions and musicians views of sampling/work rules. As an orchestral musician, I do feel threatened by the digitization of our work/jobs

I can listen to Hans Zimmer talk for Days

Amazing! Thank you Christian and Spitfire Audio

Omg upload the rest! So fun to watch

I've been waiting for this interview! Please include subtitles! KZfaq creates them automatically. It is more convenient for me to read in my own language. Thank you!

Ramin is my favorite!

That video made my day! Great Discussion! Thank you! One of my favorite part is the talk about intention (1:36:30). Sound waves carry intention.

~2hrs of gold.

I loved every second of this.

This is fantastic. Would love to see a female composer roundtable too x

This is much better than the hollywood ones. Letting them just talk shop is infinitely more valuable than forcing them to talk about their latest score only. I'd love to see Trent Reznor, John Powell, and Danny Elfman back for this format. pleeeeeeease

That room is so artistically arranged.

Brilliant!

Hans, Ramin - If Alan Sylvestry was also here, it would be awesome.

I didn't know I needed this in my life, until I saw it 😭

This must be the coolest room i’ve ever seen in my life

Ben Really stands out in these conversations, what an artist

They all look happy after one hour of discussion... with wine... absolutely awesome!

Yeah buddy!!!! More of these please!

YES!!! The long-awaited!!! Thank you so much!

I found this to actually be a very valuable video to watch - lots of great tips and tricks dispersed throughout the conversation. lol my goodness, I felt so much suspense until that guy finally ate some of the food. I was wondering if it was a prop, or if they were told they couldn't eat it during the shoot. I couldn't stop thinking about being there and thinking back and forth "Can I have some? Should I wait until he's done speaking?" haha. So much suspense. Then he ate something and the whole scene lit up.
