Would you consider Nolan to be your most significant collaborator? Maybe. It lets the guys who make the trailer jump from one non-sequitur to the next. You can jump from anything to anything.' I think that primal sound, it's ballsy as hell. Ron Howard once said to me, 'Trailers are like dreams. Why do you think it took off? I think it's primal. Suddenly, everybody jumped on it and started to embrace it. I don't regret that we did something which was weird and crazy and atonal and actually quite a horrendous, angry sound. There's a big difference between a story point and just some random sound effect that sounds good. When it's in one of a thousand trailers, it just becomes a device. I am going to tiptoe around a couple of things, but I am going to give you as much information as I possibly can.Дo you regret the Inception brass? Do I? No. It was written in the script, and suddenly it turns up in everybody's trailer. If you think about the crazy low brass section in Inception, that is a story point. Secondly, ever since we did Batman Begins, anything Chris and I did somehow has managed to find its way into other people's movies in one shape or the other.

There are a couple of ideas in there that I want to keep hidden for two reasons: One, I don't want you sit and watch the movie and try to work out what the mathematics of it are, because that destroys the elegance of having an experience. Okay, I'm hesitating in some of my answers, let me tell you why. What kind of mathematical ideas are in the score? Well, you were right that it starts off with Chris' watch-that's actually his watch we use. I keep hesitating to call our first 100 rough cut 'music.' It wasn't really music at the time, but it certainly was something that existed simultaneously to the film. Every 10 seconds I would come up against an insurmountable problem and there were no solutions, because nobody had ever tried to solve any of this stuff.

Chris liked this idea I had for the score-that it's based on a mathematical idea-which seemed like a really good idea when I blurted it out. I took some sand and put it in a little glass jar and brought it back to Los Angeles and sat down. With that in mind, with the simple story, he wanted it to be rich and complicated behind the scenes. By our standards, it's a very short movie. I am! Chris said to me it's going to be a 90-minute movie. How did you even start to approach the Dunkirk score? You sound stressed about it even now. GQ spoke to Zimmer about his most intense project yet, the hidden secrets he likes to pepper into his work, and, of course, the now world-famous (and meme-ified) Inception noise. Hot off the successes of Blade Runner 2049, Dunkirk (for which he received his 11th Academy Award nomination today), and a live tour that took him from the desert of Coachella to the splendor of Radio City Music Hall, Zimmer shows no signs of slowing down. With just two weeks of formal training in his entire career (he took piano lessons very briefly as a child, but hated them), he has made a living from finding new ways to enhance the very concept of a 'film,' to relay experience, to speak to his audience.

Of course, he's the musical technician behind the scenes of Christopher Nolan's body of work, delivering beauty, anger, and everything in between for movies like The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and, of course, Inception. He accentuated Gladiator's tandem violence and emotion with a balanced score that, in the wrong hands, could undoubtedly have turned that movie into a disaster. He's the man behind 'The Circle of Life'-in fact The Lion King earned him an Oscar for Best Original Score. Zimmer's career has spanned just about every genre, every mood, every beloved film franchise you could care to mention. Let's just talk, and not look at the watch.' We end up running over two hours, at which point his extremely patient assistant intervenes. I have him for twenty minutes, but just as I get ready to wrap up and ask him some rapid-fire questions, he hits me with a proposal: 'We are victims of deadlines all the time, so how about this? Let's just chat.
