Night Crew Sounds – WHY SO SERIOUS? – Hans Zimmer

Night Crew Sounds is what I’m calling the music alleyway I’ll be going down every night when I get a couple of hours to work after the boys go to sleep.

“I wanted to write something people would truly hate…”

-Hans Zimmer, on the Dark Knight DVD

That kind of thinking takes a lot of confidence in what you’re going to make.

But still. Greatness. Proof in point:
