Heat. Heat.

I'm going to try to put as much into

words as I possibly can, you know, and

I'm already on slightly thin ice here

with language because I grew up speaking

German and here I am trying to do this

in English and really some of it

to be really clear and to be really

precise. I have to go and point you at a

piece of music and just shut up and make

you listen to it because that is my

language. That's my form of

communicating. So I apologize if I do my

normal which is just go around the

houses try not stay on point but it's

all this is how I work. It's it's it's

it's gathering thoughts. It's gathering

momentum. It's gathering ideas and

sometimes you start over here and just

so you know you have to end over here.

Nothing is ever a straight line. Um, and

then the only straight line that I can

offer you is is when you listen to the

music, it uh, you know, I'm not even

saying it's good music or bad music or

any of that stuff. I'm not talking about

this. But there is a there's a fairly I

managed to arrive at a clear thought um,

in the music. And as you can tell from

when I speak, it might have been a bit

of a struggle to get there. So, this is

my master class. And the reason I'm

doing it is is because

partly because I feel incredibly lucky

that I got to a point where somebody

would actually ask me to do a master

class and partly I'm doing it to show

you what I've done and encourage you not

to do it to do your versions of it. Um

because I think

look if if there's one thing I learned

it's it's it's constantly moving and

it's supposed to constantly be mo moving

and

you know the other thing I need is is I

I need to have the next great composer

you know like at my heels already. I I I

I want to hear what the what the next

great idea is. And it's not necess and I

I don't need it to be mine, but it's

this has been

this has been a really interesting

journey so far. This has been a

worthwhile journey. And I just sort of

want to reassure you that however much

people discourage you, however hard it

gets, you know, it's at the end of the

day,

it's worth it. Um, if you feel compelled

to write film music, then do it.

Hello, I'm Han Zimmer and this is my

master class.
