Interstellar Live (With Hans Zimmer)

I was lucky enough to snap up some tickets to "Interstellar Live" at the Royal Albert Hall in which Hans Zimmer, Chris Nolan, Michael Caine and even Stephen Hawking were present!

I got in early for the pre concert talks which commenced around 90 minutes before the show began in which Chris Nolan gave us an amazing insight into his creative process in varying capacities as a director, screenwriter and of course, producer!

Hans gave us an amusing run down to his process and explained how the theme had all developed from a short piece of music he wrote to a letter Nolan had given to him. This was followed by discussing the recording of the Organ in Temple Church, London.

I really loved the film, of course loved the music and really hope to see more of this in the city soon!
