The choice to add AURORA's voice on various pieces is brilliant. Her voice is so well suited to this.

It's both extremely cool and hurts my soul that the man himself uses FL Studios.

This man needs to have a huge imagination inside him. I wish I only had a quarter of his imagination so I could create music but reality says no

Why is this documentation restricted in this way? I am sure that many people outside the UK want to see it and pay the usually costs for a download or streaming. I also think that Hans want to share his work with the hole world.

Windows 10... It doesn't matter which OS you work on. The main thing is talent.

Hollywood Rebel? This guy makes a gazillion dollars and he is a rebel? Gee, I wonder what the non-rebels are making, the corporate suck-ups, the guys who will sell their firstborn to the Arabs, the guys that are the insider's insiders. This guy didn't materialize overnight – he worked the system, had important people and patrons in his pocket, and had connections galore. He is the crown prince of Hollywood... a rebel? Oh yeah, like my big toe is a rebel too. These people want everything: they want to be the glamorous, cutting-edge, misunderstood rebel (what a stereotype!) and the establishment's, corporate wunderling with all the cash. They want it all – they want their cake and to eat it too.

[TruthSurge]

hasn't he made far too many soundtracks already? Why not hire someone hungry for work and also damn good at it instead of hiring a name? 1000 amazing composers and he had to do everything?

The Arctic is Russian, guys. The British can only envy and compose music about her 🤣
