I decided to return to my roots and cover one of my all-time favorite Zimmer songs. This song is one of the greats and it means a lot considering it got me into music production as it was one of the very first songs I covered. The docking sequence from Interstellar never ceases to amaze me and is a perfect example of the magical relationship between music and film.
For this cover, I really tried to fire on all cylinders and bring all I could to the table in order to properly pay tribute to Zimmer. I reworked the song from the ground-up focusing first on getting the percussion as close as I could to the original (bartok pizzicato basses/cellos, clockwork effects, subby swells during the finale, etc). Then I added some additional instrumentation outwards taking some inspiration from Justin Hurwitz's work on First Man (field drum, more classical crescendos, brass/celli leads and adding the full overall range of the orchestra.)
(Yes, I will be doing First Man covers when the time is right - I just have to figure out how to properly pay homage to that masterpiece of a score.)
I'm more or less pleased with how this one turned out, although I had to sacrifice some dynamic range for full loudness which resulted in the final mix becoming a bit limited on the peaks. Tell me what you think and please feel free to give constructive criticism as I'm always learning.
