ceebs Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Feeling dumb tonight, cause I don't know who Hans Zimmer is, either. I will consult Google. That studio is incredible. But I see crazy faces in the wallpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see crazy faces in the wallpaper. Hans Zimmer is one of the best composers of movies soundtracks of all time... He's my idol, maybe as much as John Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see crazy faces in the wallpaper. I didn't know who Michael Einziger was... Turn out he co-wrote Wake me up with Aviici... Not bad. And now we know why he was all excited earlier. That studio must make him feel like a kid in a candy store:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiibet Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That studio looks stunning indeed!!!! He must be thrilled. And just saying but for me it looks he is working harder and in more determined way than ever, even with talent shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiam Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Feeling dumb tonight, cause I don't know who Hans Zimmer is, either. I will consult Google. That studio is incredible. But I see crazy faces in the wallpaper. I always see faces in such pattern, both on walls and floors, people and animals In this wallpaper I see the famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh ... No wonder why MIKA felt excited - it must be very special to work in this amazing studio - and it fits him perfect, imo, much because of his love for music style from the past - it looks grandiose - and I now expect new masterpieces from our golden MIKA ...

buttonslovesu Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Seems like he is pulling out all the stops to get this album done, :wub2:after those shows took all his time up, and he never got into the studio like he said to start writing new songs:sneaky2: Wonder how long we will have to wait for a snippet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucrezia Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That studio looks stunning indeed!!!! He must be thrilled. And just saying but for me it looks he is working harder and in more determined way than ever, even with talent shows Totally agree with you! I believe that this time he wants everything to work out perfectly. Knowing Zimmer, I think that Mika's songs will be a little more cartoonish this time ans he'll use an orchestra as background Annnd, we must not forget that he has worked with pharrell for the famous soundtrack of "Despicable Me 2"... so, happy happy happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with everyone here, that it's so good to know Mika is so fired up. I think the TV exposure has had a very positive effect on his creativity, rather than hindering his own musical achievement.

Elwendin Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) The studio is in Santa Monica. We can learn more about it here , and I wonder if Zimmer was there as well. I suppose he didn't just give them the keys and went for a walk. That stuff seems pretty complicated to use. He says: “I’m not a good pianist, I always thought I wasn’t worthy of a Bösendorfer. I’m a composer. I’m not an interpreter. Great musicians, they play challenging things all day long. I make things up in my head. It’s not about the dexterity of my fingers. But I’m a really good programmer. You put me in front of a computer, that’s my way of getting my music in.” So, he may be there to help with the computer part... Anyway. There's a real fireplace there as well. Apparently wherever M goes there's always a fireplace We have the perfect idea for his bday present. A portable fireplace so that he can always feels at ease Edited March 27, 2014 by Elwendin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just saying but for me it looks he is working harder and in more determined way than ever, even with talent shows Yes, I agree, he is working hard on this album, completely immergedin his own music, far away from the TV shows. Sounds like because his time is limited, since he has to go back soon-ish, he's putting all his energy into it. I guess he'll have to wait until after The Voice is finished to continue putting so much time/work/energy into it again. After all, he's only human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that all his side projects would be like fuel for MIKAs creativity, rather than a brake! Imagine how many new experiences he has got since TOOL - with designing, making advs, coaching -meeting loads of new people -no wonder he's energized!! And as far as I can understand, he's on schedule re. his new alb. I'm sure we have very exciting months ahead !! ... Love,love me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloise.shaw Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 WOAH, Mika's working in Hans Zimmer's studio? I love the songs he wrote on the Lion King soundtrack, beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah! For example, "Century Man" was a really good song for a movie... it's a pity that we didn't know nothing from the movie... I keep listening and looking out for the movie. I can't remember what it's called, but I'll know it when I see it advertised. I think some famous stars are in it. So it's not just one of those Independent things that nobody watches unless they are artsy types. I think it's about some guy who was famous, who has developed Alzheimer's and I think he looks back on his life, and at some point, sings Century Man. But I know Mika has said that he would love to write for the movies, so I hope he will do that. It's a great way to get his music known, without relying on the radio stations to play the songs.

Nick Nolte is one of the stars, but on his IMDB profile there is no mention of any film resembling a musical (which is what the film Mika wrote Century Man was supposed to be), so I don't know what is happening to it.
