Hans Zimmer - Interstellar (Epic Cinematic Cover) 

I introduce you to my 5th hand - grown now during isolation, I name him Hands Zimmer. Ever since the video of Bach's Toccata and Fugue, I've been getting non-stop requests to play the Interstellar theme with this organ sound - the most out of any piece this year. In true isolation spirit I spent way to long messing around with the video effects and audio production here, doing a lot of experimenting, but everything you see and hear was created from scratch. In general, as fun as they are to play, I want to leave all of the film score covers to the amazing Patrik Pietschmann - he is the expert with those. I'm sure most of you are familiar with him, but if not (check the link in description, his is hands down the best solo piano arrangement of the Interstellar theme) and you want to see more film score covers in this format, his channel is the place to go! I hope you're all in good health and have a safe month this month ♥

There is something really clever about this soundtrack, specifically in Hans Zimmer's use of rhythm and time. Notice at 2:10, the piece is 60bpm, which means there is a beat exactly every 1 second, just like a clock. The part where it gets extra crazy is where the characters themselves experience time dialation in the movie - Hans changes this rhythmic clock to match, in mathematical precision. I'll let you guys explore further, but this whole soundtrack is a masterpiece both in the musical experience and in its craftsmanship.

Me: I want to learn this My brain, hands, and eyes: That little maneuver’s gonna cost us 51 years

APRIL FOOLS!! Last year you got a video with nothing, this year you get a video with everything.

No joke, Interstellar was one of the first movies that made me cry for real. Like seriously, it was made perfectly. The story line, the music, the characters, the RESOLUTION, the protagonist, the antagonist, the side characters, all of it hits me as hard as nostalgia, and that thing hits me as hard as a sports car going over 100 mph. To anyone that hasn’t watched Interstellar…. Watch it right now. Stop reading this comment right now and go watch it.

For the people who don’t understand why 5 hands are needed: The song is originally on 2 instruments, piano and organ. 2 hands for organ and one hand for the organ feet. The other 2 for piano

This is such a true arrangement that you can almost hear Cooper screaming MURPHHHHHH in the background

By the way, he performed this song alone. We see 5 hands but these are his hands. He used five-dimensional space to do this.

It’s interesting how Zimmer was able to include a ticking clock method into this song. With the beat being 60 beats per minutes/bpm which is the amount of seconds in a minute. In actuality, it’s a beat that represents time moving on.

The 7 minutes of this video is gonna cost us 51 years

Possibly one of the most beautiful soundtracks that will ever exist

I just realized the music notes texture is the same as the 5th dimension bookshelf! Really nice attention to detail!

Interstellar's theme is like the theme that plays as you walk along a beaten path, on your way fight the final boss, having an epic battle, dying, and it ending the world

Mom: You can't grow 5 hands that's impossible! Rousseau: *No, it's necessary*

It’s all fun and games until Rousseau pulls out his other sets of hands.

This music terrified me more than the wave

I've been listening to this video for about a year. But by 3:40, the music is taking me away from me. It's like I'm navigating space like Voyager-1. Definitely a great melody. Excellent. Incredible. Thank you Mr. Nolan and Mr. Zimmer

interstellar has one of the most powerful movie soundtracks ever

They really need to show this movie in theaters again... Not because I didn't see it in theaters or anything...

New theory: Rousseau is a being of only hands. They just float in a general mass, and he utilizes however many he needs at that time.

I can't help but get emotional whenever I hear this piece. It is truly one of the greatest musical pieces to ever be written. The intense emotions of frustration, confusion, calmness, realization, and final rest are just beautiful. Truly an amazing song and an amazing film.

"In music, you're basically having a conversation." - Hans Zimmer

I listened to Patrick's arrangement for billion times looks like im gonna listen to this for billion times now

3:40 Absolute goosebumps!!!!

Imagine growing three spare hands just to play Interstellar. Such dedication.

"Nobody believed me, but I knew you'd come back." "How?" "Because my dad promised me..." 🥺🥺

“Come on, Tars! Come on, Tars!” When you were playing that part I literally saw that scene. The ending part of the song, when Coop needs to detach, literally sacrifice himself for the human race to continue, I also saw that scene in my head: “Detach...” Absolutely beautiful *arrangement Rousseau, and it made me teary eyed, thank you for that. Made me believe that anything is possible-even if it’ll cost me 51 years.

4:35 is the best part. The power I felt. I screamed cried and laughed all at once.

The april fools joke here is that all of this was taken in one take, with one person. Rousseau has 5 arms. 5 hands. 25 fingers.

Me: It's impossible to hit all these keys at once Rousseau: No, it's necessary

Hans Zimmer is an absolute genius

Absolute chills on the transition into "No Time For Caution." Easily one of the best cinematic pieces to date.

this movie was such masterpiece. u can watch it over and over again.

Interstellar is one of the best movie's of all time.

6 years since this movie has been released, and people are still talking about it!

This movie is one of the best in all of cinematic history. There is so much depth to it, in every sense. The score is beautiful, as we know. The acting is unbelievable. The plot and creativity is mind blowing and captivating. I am rewatching this again soon. I don’t think I’ll get tired of interstellar.

Never heard such a terrifying, epic, sad, emotional and lovely song..it Doesn't even have lyrics

I guess you could call this a stellar performance.

"Towards the Mountains." "Those aren't mountains. They're waves."

The most beautiful soundtrack ever made!! 😭 Interstellar is also my favorite movie of all time 🚀🪐🌑

"She's out there. Setting up camp. Alone, in a strange galaxy. Maybe right now she's settling in for the long nap. At the light of our new sun. In our new home."

"Rousseau, what are you doing?" "Playing" "It's not possible." "No, it's necessary."

I love how the notes look like that other dimension he was in.

Thank you so much for this. I am in the deepest depression I have ever suffered and listening to this has inspired me to watch interstellar for the 18th time. I will cry my eyes out until there's no more tears left. Please lord let it give me hope that there is love in this evil world and a happy ending is possible. Please lord I beg you. Thank you Rousseau for recreating this master peace. It gives the sound of escaping hell and reaching the stars. My dream 😫

2:12 - 4:30 Never heard such terrifying music before. Its feeling is so powerful

WOW.

This was one of THE greatest movies. And this theme tune, UNFORGETTABLE Why would you learn this? Me thinking: "It's not possible" "No, it's necessary"

This tune always makes me cry. Interstellar screened at an age when I was very passionate about writing novels. This soundtrack has inspired so much of my work. I now contemplate quitting writing forever and this tune makes me remember how innocent energetic and passionate I was

Clickbait -0% Hand movement -100% Talent -100% Love from us -100% Thank you for this masterpiece! ❤️

1:10 "What's he doing?!" "He's starting to believe."

One of the most majestic pieces of music I've ever heard.

Interstellar theme is so perfect that you might discover a new law of physics if you decode the key strokes somehow.

Okay but this NEEDS to be on Spotify. Hands down, gave me chills through the whole thing. Stunningly played.

*Case* : It's impossible *Cooper* : No it's necessary Hats off, one of the best scene in cinematic history

3:40 - this is the moment I get chills everytime. ✨

it's almost the end of 2021 and I'm just now watching this. I must have been in the space station while you were down on the gravity planet playing this masterpiece. Well done sir.

1) I want interestellar in theatres again 2) I want rosseau in the theatre to play this 3) I want tissue papers 4) I want peace IT'S NECESSARY 🙂

No one: Hans Zimmer: In music, you're basically having a conversation.

3rd hand appears: "Ok, he's pulling this crap again. 🙄" 4th hand appears: "Come on! What is this bs?!" 5th hand appears: "That's it, I'm calling MIB."

Interstellar music always gives you the train of hope. But you never seem to be able to catch it in time

I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but the falling piano keys kinda look like the event horizon of the black hole and the stretched out bookcases where Cooper was in the 5th dimension. This was awesome btw! 👍

"Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it" -Confucius

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one obsessed with everything to do with Interstellar, I love that movie and its soundtrack, it's a work of art 💖💗🌌

Right at 4:15 where the hands grow translucent and overlap playing... absolutely phenomenal. ✨😙

Oh I see so Rousseau is social distancing away from Earth.

Ok it’s almost midnight, wearing my headphones listening to this, trying not to wake up my husband sleeping next to me for I am internally combusting because of the sheer awesomeness of this!!!! I feel so blessed right now. Thank you for this 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 bravissimo!!!

I would genuinely want to watch the movie with this music cover. Literal Goosebumps

3:40 OH MY THAT WAS EPIC

Hans Zimmer: I paid for whole piano, i'm gonna use whole piano.

My psychotherapist: it’s just your fantasy, a five-handed hans zimmer doesn’t exist Me:

For those wondering how the cooper station works, have you ever tried putting something in a bag and then started spinning at high speed and holding the bag at a 90 degree angle? The stuff inside the box doesn’t fall out even if the bag is open on ur side, the stuff in it remains on the opposite side, creating artificial gravity. Similarly, the cooper station is like a cylinder than spins at a constant speed, pulling things to the side and thus- creating artificial gravity for the survival... Good day!

Always come back here to listen to this masterpiece of a cover !!!!

This is what id imagine space would sound like and you literally made it perfect

Me: im gonna play this My hands: thats impossible Me: no, its necessary

General grievous... that's a lot more hands than I expected

"Which set of hands is Rousseau's?" "All of them," "It's not possible," "No, it's necessary."

it's the most powerful and terrifying music composed.

The only mistake in this video is that it ends

It’s impossible to experience a 3 h movie in 7 minutes.... Rousseau: hold my beer

7 minutes of this felt like 7 years. Took me to a whole another dimension.

The clock effect at 2:20 is pure genius

this damn movie NEEDS to be put in theaters one more time!! its a pure masterpiece!!!! Fans: this needs to be re-released in theaters. Movie Makers: its Impossible Fans: No, its necessary

*Synthesia software* : There is no point in playing with four hands. *He* : Analyse the notes speed *We* : Pianist, what are you doing? *He* : Playing. *Synthesia* : Notes speed 67, 68 per min. *He* :Ok get ready to match our 5th hand with bits speed *Synthesia* : It''s not possible *He* :No, it''s necessary

2:20 powerfull, when you try to get max volume from your headphones but they're maxed out already

Aahh 3:42 gets me all the time! ‘No Time for Caution’ has one of the most beautiful transitions in the whole album!😍😍

Hands Zimmer

This movie should’ve taken all the oscars

I feel like the interstellar theme especially done on piano is like the anthem for the entire Earth.

2:11 I am literally screaming this video right here is the reason why Rousseau is the best RU-vidr. Great work Rousseau !❤️

Hans Zimmer has an endless catalog of great music. To me his work on Interstellar is the best he has ever written. It evokes such emotion. Six years later it still gives me chills and makes me tear up every time I hear it.

"How long did it render?" -"Forever." "What did it cost?" -"Everything."

so freaking epic, I love the part where it gets real dark around 2:17

Hans zimmer is hands down a musical genius

7:19 C.A.S.E: "Ranger 1, on my mark. 3, 2, 1, MARK." T.A.R.S: "Detach!" ... Dr. Brand: "Goodbye T.A.R.S." T.A.R.S: "Goodbye Dr. Brand. See you on the other side, Coop." Cooper: "See you there, slick!"

If this is not played at my funeral I'm not going

0:50 is so beautiful :(

Government: no more then 2 people within 1 meter!!! Rousseau: "I grew a third hand"

My piano teacher: You can’t play this piece by yourself Rousseau: Allow me to introduce myself with my 5 hands

Wonderful movie, incredible soundtrack, and amazing arrangement. This piece should remain in humans' history forever. No words, just notes...

Dad: I'm going to get some milk Me: This little maneuver is gonna cost you 51 years
