All language subtitles for 28_Learning_by_Listening_Hans

I never went to the music school

i had my

miserable two weeks
of piano lessons

but

the mice of do this this the ma.

I think it's it's it really is
about learning how to listen

i'm in for all musicians

and i think.

If you observe musicians
working together.

That you take it for granted that they
can play the instrument but what happens

as

that they actually really learned how
to listening just because that's not so

visually obvious

it might be more for secret.

I.

I can i can orchestrate i can

you

wield.

I can

you know

i i can wield pen and paper and actually
come up with a fairly decent orchestration

without ever having
gone to the music school

but i learned that

as a kid

listening into the music

and.

Finding the bowels
this but i think.

You know if you extent
this outwards now.

And you sit there

was your director and

the gay my players
hate tell me the story.

I listened to his
words i listened to the

story but i tried to
listen beyond it as well

you know

i tried to.

You know

no director ever tells you

no good director ever attempt
to tell you what music to right

so

what you're doing as you're trying to figure
out your trying to listen to the subtext

you try your forever listening
and the heart of the thick

and.

I think if if if there's
anything i am

i learned as just as I've
learned how to listen better

and.

Including myself i
mean you're not like

he

yup

place every on the keyboard

and you're playing what ostensibly is the
wrong note but it's not it's gold at the

opportunity it's the
unlocking of a door

to something

your fingers when
going to take you to

and if you don't listen

you're going to miss is it

because

if you're not listening

to the other players you'd
never going to go and get that

impetus and you'd never
going to have a conversation

and.

At the end of the day i

do think it's about
communication.

And.

Even though.

I have a big mouth and i

find it difficult
to keep a chart.

You know when when we develop these
ideas when we develop what this thing s.

I'm

trying to listen

beyond the words

you know i'm trying to not

hear the words i'm
trying to hear the to.

As.

You got gotta considered best

only two types of music
good music and bad music

but i think.

If i have to

teach somebody something
the only thing i can teach them as.

Whenever that piece as you love

really

go

look at it from many
different directions

with me it was odd things like.

Marla second i i was fascinated by that
i mean i i i would just take that parkville

can offer like a year i would just
listen to it and get obsessed with it and.

You know

discover and more and more
about the process and i suppose

if you want to.

Marla was one of my teach us
because i learned a lot from it

later on it was

things like

value of symphonie fantastique.

Where

he's taking you
through this tragic love

story and it goes wild
and it goes crazy and.

I very quickly realize
to smell that there was.

That

you know

that there's a part in it where he
goes to the DEA's a rate which is a.

Piece of church music written and
twelve fifty six i happen to know these

to other people useless facts

okay

if you take the

the array

but as

da da da da

set of really
simple set of notes

it

appears it creeps through.

You know the the
evolution of music it keeps

reappearing and
different compose

this music you know not heard it

obviously for me it was
the first time hundred

and the barrios but
you know list used at

then you know when you
go to the film composers

Bernard Herrmann

John Williams

it's all over close encounters

it it's it's.

You know

and and i suddenly realized this

this phrase meant
something in meant something

that we couldn't
express and Boston that

people hadn't.

Maybe hieronymus bosch
had it in a painting i dunno

there was something about it

that struck

and

and la carte a
fundamental an iconic.

Caught and and and and.

Even though we
couldn't quite describe it.

We knew it meant something it
was a call it was some sort of a call

and of costs.

So much of music

is that it's it's you know it's.

It's.

A conversation and to
call at a storytelling part

i didn't listen to it in an academic
way i listened to pure up to a purely and

what was the telling me

and what

you know what Butler
supposed to pushing and me

that unleash some imagination

and i see that

these pieces

this piece keeps appearing

and.

People's film music and

it appears in other pieces of
classical music and i suddenly realized

that

there are phrases in music that means
something they really do mean something and

they push a button and us
and emotional button on us.

When i can't see a movie
i don't dissect the score

i stopped dissecting it
when it's not working.

An archaic.

You know it's like i see i see
a movie as a whole and and

and and effort
transports me then

everything does you know so.

I suppose if i think about it afterwards
a test exactly the way i go about.

Writing which as

you know

hang on

that the colors in the music match
the colors on the screen did the mood.

In the music.

And homs

transport you know

add something.

All

you know what is it just as during the
same thing as everything else in the scene.

You know

what's that contrast was there

you know

that

there's so many different race.

Of playing a scene you
know you you you can either.

You can sometimes you can
get the most of i mean we were

talking about you know i
got into this because i loved.

Once upon a time in the west.

And

more

a curry score and it's

yeah

it's electric guitars and they're
completely out of kinetic you know

where we're talking about.

The late nineteen century

and

and it never occurred to me.

That.

That sounds

hadn't been
invented at that point

just because he boldly

puts it in front of me
and i you know he's totally

committed when he does
it so i never question at

but i saw jos.

I thought you know the to
note the thing ever do don't do

that everybody goes all about

it yeah that's great that's a
great idea it's a one idea sort of

thing and then what
happens in that score after that

is

absolutely pure magic
and it's it's it's a it's

like an orchestration
firework and it's just

imaginative beyond belief and

do you know

the tuba does things to boss i'm supposed
to do and it's it's it's a it's a fantastic

so that's what you know

where the geek musician
suddenly comes in

and.

But as a whole i
mean it's it's like

you hone your ear

to the

took to the less obvious spits

used to have Nico oh the beef
theme and raiders is really gorgeous

that might not be the main tune

you know everybody can remember
the obvious sua da da da da

yeah

but it's it's the next bit that happened
steps to got the heart and nuts got my

attention in it and
that's got that tells you.

So you know that that the that has a
nostalgic quality that isn't quite as overt

and

and so i think

part of what but

i do is by.

Looking at the

movies that entertain
me is to figure out

why do they entertain me and
by just the music entertainment

and it usually is because.

Quietly and softly

and not in the avert way

there's something going on.

That is.

Beautifully crafted

mean i'm talking about a job

here i'm talking about
any John Williams scoffing

at the moment

or any

any morricone score
any Jack goldsmith score

and.

Or any jonny greenwood score

i mean that the the

you know you you said Nico.

It's it goes beyond the obvious
where you can pinpoint the idea

and

are you can sing the hook

there's something else

you know that goes on with great
craftsmanship and great love and great.

Just elegance.

Hm.

So first film i saw
probably the most shocking

experience of my
life wasn't a film at all

was

i might have been two and a half or three
years old my mom took me to the opera

and i saw Mozart's.

You know the magic flute

and it just

blew my socks off and i thought

this is

pretty amazing and.

I see

what's up for a while the
motive became a big influence.

I

soon to be followed by Beethoven

somewhere along the line
Marla second symphony and.

All these amazing pieces of music
and i i never segregated between.

You know

that

this

concert music and

this is film music because
somewhere along the way

and.

Nino rota and ennio morricone
slipped onto the scene

and so.

Probably the greatest influence
when it comes to film composers

and a bus without a doubt.

Ennio morricone

and i think i'm just.

Still to this day

a crazed fan of as

and

because.

His tunes a fantastic

has

craftsmanship is fantastic the
discipline he puts into this fantastic

and then

the.

Complete disregard of any rules

is fantastic

and at the end of the
day you know somewhere

in the center for holding
it altogether as his

incredible passion and love
and understanding football.

So.

Now funny way i don't think any
of us would be doing it without ba

you know so he said.

Cornerstone

and.

I can garden like this because
then of course you have

put coffee of and you're just a covets
and you have all the Russian guys and.

I think what
happened was as a kid

growing up without a television

had its advantage which boss.

I had a piano

and i had records

records about black things
for the whole the middle

it's it's a very old
fashioned thing but you can

listen to music on it

and

and every week we would
go on to see a concert

in every week i was
thrilled and excited and.

Exposed to something which
was absolutely and utterly magical

and.

So i grew up really with classical music
and listening to classical music intensely

and i suppose i learned my orchestration
or any of any chops or anything

just just by listening and and.

What better way to London than

going to a concert and watching
an orchestra what better learned

a way to learn than

going to and of opera and seeing

an amazing performance
what better way

to learn then

all day long to be surrounded by

Beethoven and.

Bach etc

and the rest of the
influences in my life really are

that i was

extraordinary to

lie bad at anything that

involves discipline
or school all

rules and it's very very tough to
grow up in Germany if you have and

a disdain and an
allergy to authority so

you can't help yourself
if you've got a rebel

and you get kicked out
of school and the only

so the only thing left for me

and i think that's quite
sometimes not a bad thing

is i had no options but
to become a musician hm

i don't listen to a
lot of film schools.

Cause that's like a bus

holiday to million like

that's what i that's what i

do all day long so.

Why would i want to
do that when i go home

and

what i wanted to do when i got
homeless i want to go and listen to.

Beethoven

Mozart are

the Beatles

bb king or you know right now i'm listening
to a lot of classical music because what

i'm working on as the
opposite to classical music

i was have to listen to things

which have not sort of nothing to do
with what what i'm working on on on

not related to the
style i'm working on.

Then.

I have.

Binges of

you know.

We had punk phases
of binges of electronic

or.

Binge yourself edi air mall
but you know it's it's like

suddenly i'm

hunting down

every great blues guitarist or
whatever you know so i go on these

lengthy.

You know being in love with

a certain genre and
then go somewhere else.

You know i i always thought

you know if you really
need to get a rounded

education and music and
you don't know where to start

just stop with the beast just go
through the beast you know just goes to

value barrios spartak Beatles.

The odd you know we can

banjo music he

just this go on just

just just go on i mean

the point is your find something

you'll find something
which touches you pass me

and which means
something to you pass me

and then build on that.

There are few
scores which sort of.

I thought by revolutionary and
truly moved from music along and.

You know

everybody talks about the
obvious ones like psycho etc off

for coffee of.

Alexander nevsky and

yeah that's obviously
true but then i got sort of

scoffs like

midnight express.

Georgia marotta i thought.

The opening scene with
the inhumans secret such as

going

with

such a brilliant

i

such a

brilliant.

Idea by the director to realize
that the scariest thing as.

A machine where you don't

you

will you don't realize

that humanity in it i mean.

It's it's it's the
machine like quality

that doesn't

give you a pint of what's going to
happen next which makes it so scary and

i think again you
know ennio morricone

once upon a time in america not

once upon a time in the rest
of the trust the first thing i saw

but once part of
time in america is is

extraordinary because
the whole score.

It's basically a doubt that there
isn't a fast peace in that you're

at it

it's a gangster movie and he writes
slow heartfelt music and he just.

Manages

to

put a nostalgia and up

and and the

grace and up.

Soul into this movie that is

absolutely incredible

and.

Yes i mean i loved

Hannah i thought chemical processes
as as one of my favorite scoffs because

i think it's great

it's great music
it's great film music

it's incredibly cinematic

it's quirky and it's epic
all at the same time

and it's got a point of
view and i think those are

qualities which

which are necessary to
pull off a decent film school.
