Looking at TIME from Inception (2010)

Before writing your very own minimalist film soundtrack, it's TIME to have a closer look at how Hans Zimmer put it all together!

TASK 1.

LISTEN out for:

​

1. The Melodic Ostinato

  • Is it present throughout? When does it come in?

  • How many different notes are there in the obstinate?

​

2. The Chords

  • How many different chords are there?

  • Are they in a particular order?

​

3. The melody/the motif 

  • Which instrument plays the melody? Does it change?

  • When does it come in?

​​

4. The Layers

  • How many different layers can you hear?

  • Are they all playing throughout?
