Spitfire Audio Hans Zimmer Percussion User Manual SPITFIRE AUDIO HZPC HANS ZIMMER PERCUSSION USER MANUAL CONGRATULATIONS Thank you for purchasing Hans Zimmer Percussion. Spitfre Audio joins forces with the biggest name in flm scoring to produce the ultimate drum sample library for cinematic percussion. Featuring the ensembles and solo instruments used by Hans Zimmer in his blockbuster scores, we’ve drawn upon his years of creativity and studio experimentation to compile all you’ll need to get started in epic drum composition. From tombeks to taikos, playing from whisper quiet to thunderously loud, we’ve worked alongside his GRAMMY Award-winning team (including engineer Geoff Foster) to capture the highest quality recordings in the same studio with the same players, all mixed and produced by the man himself.

Herein lies not an emulation or synthesis of his approach, but a recreation; the same studio, musicians, instruments, signal chain and talented engineers, sitting alongside a decade of experience, innovation and refnement, overseen in every detail by Hans himself; the same excruciating attention to detail and perfection but, most importantly, the endless choice for tweakability and customisation you’d expect of the greatest of sound-smiths. LONDON ENSEMBLES AND SOLOS Hans Zimmer Percussion combines the output from two ex- traordinary recording blocks. Material from the “London En- sembles” block features four of Hans’ go-to percussionists - Frank Ricotti, Gary Kettel, Stephen Henderson, Paul Clarvis - performing a variety of instruments and styles, in what is es- sentially a distillation of over a decade’s worth of musical exper- imentation and innovation. This includes his classic selection of drum ensembles and key solo instruments: Low Booms, Low Boom Gallery, Taiko Ensemble, Tamtam En- semble, Boobams Ensemble, Hi Taiko Solo, Low Taiko Solo, Large Taiko Solo, Bass Drum Gallery Solo, Gong Drum Gallery Solo, Surdu Ensemble, Dohl Ensemble, Tombek Ensemble, Bombo En- semble, Buckets & Snares Ensemble, Buckets & Crushers En- semble, Bucket Top & Darbuka, Paper Djun, Piatti, Anvils, Timpani Ensemble. The remainder of the library features long term Hans collab- orator and percussion legend, Paul Clarvis (Spectre, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Star Wars) who plays a beautiful selection of solo instruments that offer added bite, detail, focus, clarity and nuance to this epic series. Hans loves the quiet layers more than any other so as well as the bitey thunder you’d expect, there are lower layers which offer up the potential for engaging delicate drum programming to help tick your cues along. Instruments played by Paul Clarvis include: Bucket, Snare, Crush- er, Paper Djun, Tombek, Dohl, Darbuca, Surdu, Darbucket. HZPC - USER MANUAL PAGE 3 DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING Thank you for buying this Spitfre product. If you are a total newbie to this kind of thing you can get up to speed here: http://www.spitfreaudio.com/info/basics/ First though, grab our ‘Library Manager’ app from this link: http://www.spitfreaudio.com/info/library-manager/ This app will enable you to download the library Once you’ve selected the location you can proceed with the download. NOTE THAT THE DOWNLOADER WILL CREATE A SUB-FOLDER FOR YOUR LIBRARY IN THE LOCATION SE- LECTED. This is important: if you have a multi part library, or an update, it means that the Library Manager app will look INSIDE the selected location for your library folder. If it’s not there, it will create a new library folder.

This process takes a while so don’t panic if it looks like it’s frozen! TOP TIP 2: If you get in a total mess you can reset the download of either the whole library or just the latest update from the ‘Library’ menu of the app. This is limited to a couple of downloads so please only do this if you actually need to. Once you have selected what you wish to download on the left pane and clicked the ‘download’ button you will have the option to select a location.

  • An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
    THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much.
