You're listening to 20,000 hz.
I'm Dallas Taylor.
Off the top of your head, how many film composers can you name?
Unless you're a big movie buff or you work in the film industry, I'm guessing it's around three or four.
And chances are one of them is Hans Zimmer.
Hans has scored some of the most iconic movies of the last few decades, from the Lion King to Gladiator to Pirates of the Caribbean.
But for me, some of his most interesting work has come from his collaborations with Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve.
Whether its inception, Interstellar or Blade Runner 2049, these scores are jam packed with sounds that have never been heard before.
So how does one person create so much amazing music?
Well, it turns out he doesnt do it alone.
Hans actually runs an entire filmscore company called Remote Control Productions.
Their studio is inside of a huge seven building complex in Santa Monica, California.
Now, remote control has about 85 people on staff, but on that same property, there are at least 15 other composers with their own independent studios, along with musicians and staff from all over the world.
When I visited, I was blown away by the sheer magnitude of it.
At remote control, each person provides something unique and crucial to the final sound of these movies.
Everything that we do, it's about collaboration.
That's Raoul Vega.
I am a sample developer or a digital instrument designer.
Explaining Raoul's exact role can be a bit tricky, even for him.
I feel like my job title has changed with every project we work on.
