Schock is out for the 15th of February across cinemas in Germany, do spread the word! It is a rather atypical movie for German cinema, your word of mouth matters in getting it seen. The single "Schock" will be out on streaming on the same day. Thank you!
10:49 in my live setup I have a folktek mescaline which I had to have repaired multiple times. I also played my last show with a nintendo DS that WAS nearly broken but I got it to work precariously for just that show (I smashed it on the ground in a rock star like move afterwards which the audience loved). That feeling of "oh god this could blow up in my face but right now its sounding so magical" does something interesting creatively. I really admire your ability to bring out emotions with your film scoring pieces. You really are a huge inspiration!
I must admit, I might have a hard time rewatching brutal scenes but the fact is you literally pull the pain from the machines. Their atoms scream and the magnetic particles are bunched and holding on for dear life just like the characters. It's a wonderful set of sounds. Bravo
I'm trying to avoid distracting myself from my phone, particularly before bed. But Hainbach's voice is so relaxing and lulling before bed... And his muaic sometimes gives me nightmares 😏
Congrats on your project , your channel has been my inspiration as I start building my synth collection. Your fantastic work has motivated me to dive into this exciting world.
I love how in that opening scene the test equipment is sounding alien and dark and dangerous and then as the doctor starts "just doing doctor things" that gentle humanity of the piano comes in. ... ... ... oh, then you said that anyway!
That must have been an amazing experience. Scoring in such an encouraging, positive, interactive collaboration sounds like a dream job. You have clearly put in a huge amount of work to get to this point in your musical life, but finding such acceptance and appreciation of one's art in a competitive multidisciplinary environment like movie scoring - even if it is a project at first targeting only your own country - still has to count as a remarkable piece of good fortune. It is great to hear you have stayed true to your current passions while you met the story and cinematography where it is. The score - what we hear of it here, at least - sounds clearly like you, but it superbly fits the accompanying movie scenes. Thanks for taking us through some of your thinking on how you orchestrated and composed the music. I would have been happy to hear more detail, but I realize these videos very easily get to be long. It is not often I ask for videos to be longer, but this one left me thinking a bit more would be a good idea. Anyway, well done. Congratulations on tomorrow's release.
Thank you very much! Yeah there was so much more to tell, this is just a condensed version. Going to do a chat with the directors with q+a at some point for more, ideally when it’s available internationally
Thank you immensely for taking us behind the scenes of your creative process! Your philosophy is inspiring. I think of the simple saying, if nothing changes... then nothing changes. ❤
I occasionally use Omnisphere, but clearly, it doesn't work for everyone or for every project. I don't think any synthesizer -- soft or hard -- does. The Wall of Test Equipment and some of your other relatively exotic gear clearly did work for you, Hainbach, on this project and potentially on some future projects. I've taken a few baby steps toward building my own Wall of Test Equipment, but I have a very long way to go to achieve your rich textural palette. I'm gonna need more sweaters.
I think I saw you at that premiere, but being German I didn‘t want to come up to you and say „hi“, since you were around other people and I didn‘t want to rudely interrupt. But saying „hi“ now 😊 - By the way, I am a cinematographer, and every time someone comes up to me and says „hey, I liked the camerawork“ I usually take that as a bad sign for the film overall, because it means they weren‘t as invested in the story, haha. But I‘m sure it‘s different for music, especially nowadays when music in film is either invasive, overused, or tries too hard to make you feel a certain way.
Congrats! The music sounds super cool. My Thoughts: I use both VTSs and weird analog stuff. One the one hand, I like to experiment. On the other, I sometimes need to get the ideas on "tape" fast. An in-between approach I do a good bit also is to take software and ignore any manual to then experiment with what comes out. Anything that will inspire, yeah? :^)
I knew you someday something like this! I wish you can do things like this more and i love how you explain all the processes behind it! YOU ARE MY IDOL. And happy to be your fanboi 😍
That movie looks awesome. I want to see it!! Thanks for sharing your creative process for film score. I’ve always wanted to get into that world, and it’s great to have insight into how working with directors and producers really works.
I’m not sure I have the stomach to watch this film, but what you’ve shared of the soundtrack is really quite lovely. I’ll be looking forward to a full release!
👍👍 Two thumbs up. I laughed. I cried. Better than Cats! Would love to see/hear the film. Will it be released in the US? BTW, I use a bunch of your plug-ins in my own work. Your inspiration ripples out across the world. You are loved!
That 'broken' Bergmann sounds great! When I got my Wersi Helios organ, it had a weird distortion somehow connected with the spring reverb. I wanted to preserve this great distortion and make it switchable but I didn't know what caused it. So instead I unplugged the reverb tank and plugged it in again and the distortion was gone, but once the organ sounded 'fixed' it was much less interesting. Sometimes there's no way back to a mysterious accidental distortion after it's been 'fixed'!
absolutely beautiful! shot in my hometown, scored by one of my favorites, great actors, really looking forward to see that movie. Thank you very much for these insights. I´d love to see more detailed or q&a with the authors...
This swedish vacuum tube organ sounds and looks great. I don't know if it's about the russian tubes, but seems like it has nicer, more rounded tone that typical, quite harsh 60s transistor organs. I've only found some short wideos of "bergman klavitron" which seems a little bit different than yours. I hope you will make a wideo about this organ in the future.
there are some other amazing German terms i’ve heard Hainbach use - I had a list but I lost it and I’m devastated! I don’t speak German but I love learning how there are existing phrases for such poignant ideas. I’d love to hear if there are any others? We need a Hainbach philosophical term encyclopedia.
Don't fix the Klavitron. I bought an old Ampeg V4 guitar amp from the 70s that was really really noisy but the sound was brutal and exciting… really rocked your socks off. Gave it to a tech to lessen the noise, which he did and really got it super clean. unfortunately also cut some off it's balls off. bummer. still a great amp though. just more civilized.
phantastic soundtrack, from what you were able to show in your clip. the moods you created managed to give the scenes the additional kick to realy grip me... best you can expect from a film score... those moods made me remember the music from the german film of ancient times kamikaze 1989,,,, but your sounds are even more raw and melancholic... well done... will have to see if the movie will come up in a cinema somewere in the deep german province....
now that is an interesting soundtrack. i can definitely see why you use all this strange and broken equipment. the sounds you have aren't the sort of sounds i could get on purpose using normal instruments.
I'm Hungarian, but I've never heard of this BEAG unit. It looks good, but there is an excessive nostalgia for the Eastern Bloc past. I'm sure the Dynacord delay sounded better; we just copied what we could.
I don't have nostalgia for Eastern Bloc gear, you guys were the enemy when I grew up :-). But I do like to learn more about those times through the equipment. The BEAG with the mod sounds very good, in a character way.
What was the first thing that you scored? My old band's music was used in an independent film many years back. We went to the opening, and it was a disaster. The movie was so incredibly terrible, we sat through it and then had to sneak away because we were so embarrassed to be a part of it. Have to laugh about it now 😅
Apropos Film Scoring: Samstag Abend, Alte Oper in Frankfurt - Caligari in 4k Restauration mit Livesoundtrack von Herrn Bartos - ich freu' mich schon! :D
I love the unsolicited compliment. I also appreciate your desire as a creative artist. It's about awakening the inspiration. Keep creating from the passions of your spirit!
