Hans Zimmer Spiccato
Hi guys, I wanted how to get that Hans Zimmer spiccato that is in a lot of his compositions. Like at the beginning of either Batman or Inception and some others. It's spiccato 16th's moving in a broken triad. (Usually i-VI-III-VII) i was wondering how to get the unique sound and exactly what notes/pattern he is using. Can anybody help me out? Thanks!

What multifaceted writing skills?...[+o(]
Let's hypothesize that somebody helps out this chap with the illustrious and coveted spiccati. Then what? He'll be able to carve a glorious career out in the film-music world? Not in a billion years with 50 million other Zimmer clones already doing it, and software that provides just that with a mouse-click... It's a mystery that a company hasn't as yet released a cheap, but exclusively dedicated CD algorithm that (de)generates this one orkestral device:
"Did you enjoy Daftman? Were you confounded by the symphonic sorcery of Ineption? Wallow in incompetency no longer... At the incredible introductory price of $50, you too can masquerade as a musician by using our unique spiccato-sputtering engine - Zimmato! Just point and click.."

do you have an alarm that goes off when "Hans Zimmer" is typed onto VSL forums?

Hi Errikos and "usual suspects",
fantastic reply!
Unfortunately, so many guys are prisoners of this kind of insane banality.
Were Kafka alive, he may write a splendid novel:
"The enigmatical case of H. Z."
Ave atque vale!

@Miki: Glad you liked it and concur.
@civilization3: It's more like an anaphylactic shock, but I only get it when that name is followed or preceded by words such as fantastic, talented, inspired, unique, skilled, expressive, and the like...
@Dietz: Just venting a little, after having checked my savings account and tried to imagine what other composers make a year; especially absolute masters of musical economy - thematically, harmonically, polyphonically - as well as of peerlessly laconic expression/dynamic range (see? I can be nicer). I'm also attempting to fathom their veneration by a geometrically expanding contingency of admirers of lighter tastes (again...).

Hi everybody (usual suspects and HZ admirers),
I can only be in whole-hearted agreement with what Errikos and many others among us try to murmur, whilst blind (or poorly educated) guys just yell the opposite. Lately I have been nearly "ostracized" (by a forum) only because I dared to examine HZ's value.
Well, I used a couple of "derogatory" words, like twat and kraut, for which I'm awfully sorry. I shouldn't have.
The thing is that, when I dared to say that his "music" is more derogatory than my words and, to me, he is not a composer...I've been "crucified", because - let's be true - if you criticize a successful man, you're just (to them) a petty, envious idiot...
If you dare to say that to be in "business" does not mean necessarily to be talented or a "composer", they just start asking you a lot of questions, like: "What do you think, then, of David Guetta?"...I just ignore who this Guetta is, so I cannot reply. But successful "musicians" in our world (in this kind of world) quite often live on lucky hits, expedients and not music.
To be a composer is quite another story, as everybody can acquire. Just if wanting to learn.
All the best.
