One of the hallmarks of the new MAN OF STEEL Trailer was the use of music. The music was laid on loud and clear over the trailer with only dialog to obstruct it, no sounds effects were added. This allowed for the epic music to really flow and build.
Turns out it is indeed a part of Hans Zimmer's score for the film. He confirms this via a forum post at VI Control Forums. This is a legit post as many people from the industry post there and Hans Zimmer has posted there many times before and it is actually known that the user is him.
Below is the post where he talks about the drums that he has spoken about previously as well as the tune that he wrote for Superman.
The music is actually from the score. A little bit recut - the tune is actually a bit longer in it's development. What you think of as synth sounds are 8 pedal steel guitars. Best organic pad sound yet Smile The perc is the session I did at WB and Fox with 15 drummers:
JR Robinson
Jason Bonham
Josh Freese
Pharrell Williams
Danny Carey
Satnam Ramgotra
Toss Panos
Jim Keltner
Curt Bisquera
Trevor Lawrence Jr
Matt Chamberlain
Ryeland Allison
Sheila E
Bernie Dresel
Vinnie Colaiuta
with the amazing JunkieXL conducting (There is something to be said to get a drummer who is a star of EDM and knows how to get a crowd of twohundred thousand people dancing at his shows to liontame and energise this lot!)
But of course the real plus is the lack of sound effects...which gets us back to that other thread about dubbing music loudly Smile
I'm glad you liked it!
