THE LAST SAMURAI : Audio Extracts !!!
The official Website from Hans ZIMMER's next movie The Last Samurai has just edited three extracts from the music. Enter the Flash Site then go to the "Sound" Link.
The production notes regarding the score : "Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer weaves the distinctive sounds of traditional Japanese instruments into his powerful original score for The Last Samurai which marks his 100th feature film collaboration. He adds a layer of cultural nuance to the action by incorporating elements of shakuhachi (bamboo flutes) koto (a 13-stringed instrument similar to a zither) and taiko literally "fat drum" used in Japan in a variety of settings including courtly religious cultural and military. Taiko were employed on the battlefield since the 5th century to signal commands that could be heard across great distances." (info : The Last Samurai official website)
