Carl Stinson - San Fransisco, CA

Carl Stinson
San Fransisco, CA


After watching a movie what sticks in your mind? The characters, your favorite scene or possibly the director’s work? To me it’s the score, you know the “background” music. To me though, it’s a lot more than just background music. It sets the scene, adds tension and In some movies is an additional character. My favorite score composer is Hans Zimmer, to me he is a musical genius and has provided some of the finest scores to many of the finest movies to be seen on the silver screen. Gladiator, The Da Vinci Code, Angles & Demons, The Last Samurai and also the recently aired HBO War time miniseries The Pacific to name but a few of his masterpieces. This man knows how to score a movie. Watch any interview of him and he comes across as highly confident, maybe even big headed, but when you hear his music you know at least he can back it up. If I could even have just a fragment of his talent I would be the happiest man alive. Thanks to www.recordingconnection.com and my personal mentor Jake I’m well on my way to working full time in a scoring studio for major motion pictures. He has taught me how to tame the mixing deck and how to use non musical objects in musical scoring. This has got to be the most productive training program I have ever been on. I have even been offered a position at a major studio that records scores for Hollywood movies, this is a dream come true. Thank you www.recordingconnection.com and thank you Mr. Zimmer for inspiring me.
