Can you imagine if Hans Zimmer scored Skyrim : V - Skyrim

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:01 am

I vote for Jeremy Soule! Hans Zimmer seems a little limited in innovation.

I vote for Jeremy Soule and Christofer Johnsson... The amounts of epic that woul- :shocking:

Should you listen to a track by Mr. Zimmer it is "http://open.spotify.com/track/53CxTRm73THL8NuTsNTlUy" From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108399/. Even though it is a homage to "Gassenhauer" by Carl Orff, which is in the soundtrack to the classic http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069762/, it is a very beautiful piece & it sets the mood perfectly.

Ooh I need to watch True Romance again. I really like that song, and the movie is great too of course.

Also regarding Yann Tiersen, I love what he did with Amelie, and I've heard a bit of his other work which is pretty interesting too, but I don't think his music would work very well in a TES game.

Oh, and speaking of The Mission, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmax47l2hLU. IMO, this is one of Morricone's greatest pieces. Also listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjeG7ZNY2G0 from La Piovra.

I like Thomas Newman...

Should a replacement be needed for whatever reason...Bear McCreary anyone? If you haven't heard his Battlestar Galactica work, go find it. Amazing stuff.

I love what Zimmer did on the Dan Brown films, especially in the climix of The Da Vinci Code where Robert Langdon walks through Paris to find Le Louvre. Jeremy Soule, however, has done a bloody amazing job so far with the ES soundtracks, and I would not want him gone for all the money in the world!

Edit: Here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCK0AQ4tYYU

Horrible quality though.

Just as long as it isn't Inon Zur.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:34 am

Hans Zimmer is great, but the teaser trailer music was awesome. So I'm still happy.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:13 am

Inception soundtrack epicness combined with TES soundtrack vibe and style

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:43 pm

Jeremy Soule is more suitable for this. Very talented, not THAT expensive, and he has lots of experience with video game soundtrack composing. But I like Hans Zimmer a lot specially in "Lion King" and "Gladiator"

Yeah, I'm a fan of Poledouris, especially for doing a video game track. It's has a somewhat simplified quality that makes it better for videogames...you can listen to it over and over, like Morrowind's tracks.

Oh, and Jerry Goldsmith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB_HBlTzYFU&feature=related 1:00 mark is where is picks up

It is a very beautiful piece

If you like that guy over Jeremy Soul..you sir can go lick the bottom side of a cow before you touch my beloved game. That is all. Have a nice day.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 2:12 pm

I wouldn't mind Zimmer but if I had to pick anybody it would have to be Soule (because hes done good by past games) or Clint Mansel the master who brought us the most epic soundtrack ever. Requiem for a Dream.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:56 am

I'd also pick John Williams over Hans Zimmer, but if Zimmer did it it would be so legendary!

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 11:53 am

two words.

HOWARD SHORE

i cant belive what i am reading
soule has made a incredible Soundtrack
Oblivion was awesome. Still listen to some tracks, not just because they reflect the soul of the game perfectly, also it its just awesome music. it can stand on its own!
Not a single song sounds as the other

of the hundereds of hours i spent in oblivion i rarely became bored of the Soundtrack.

I cant wait what he will do next! The trailer music was already brilliant

how cant you be statisfied with songs like this?!

I think I'd honestly be disappointed if Soule didn't do the Soundtrack for Skyrim.

same here i really loved the Oblivion soundtrack.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 7:27 am

Hans Zimmers work is good, but it is too generic for my tastes.

What I would love to hear is Ennio Morricones take on the TES soundtrack. Or Howard Shores take on it.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:39 pm

Hans Zimmer is extremely over-rated. Sorry. I just don't understand why people are so amazed by him. I'd take a number of other artists before Zimmer.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:22 pm

I like your music choice...I listen to him all the time...his soundtrack for Inception is good...but people are loyal to Jeremy Soule. I just don't think Soule was in the background music for the Skyrim trailer. It sounded a lot different and I have my bets on certain composers. Hans Zimmer did CoD, but I'm pretty sure he didn't do it. I was thinking that Jerry Goldsmith did it because of the 13th Warrior but its not similar. I was thinking that they used Basil Poledouris because of Conan but I recently learned he passed away in 2006. You couldn't say Howard Shore because it doesn't sound like it. There is one other obvious solution, it is Jeremy Soule because music changes over time and gets more refined. He could be devoting lots of time and effort into it, similar to how Martin O'Donnell did for the score of Halo: Reach.

» Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:23 am

Ennio Morricone sounds more contemporary...not fantasy-like.
