@BuntyHoven Hans has said he wrote an 8 minute demo that served as the template for the 1st film that he gave to Klaus, and that piece contained the themes we think of as being \”Pirates\”. Credit went to Klaus as he was the one writing most of the film while Hans served as manager. They did the whole movie in ~ two weeks. Everyone over there was writing as fast as they could.

Klaus struck out on his own sometime after \’Pirates\’ and was not involved in the later films.

Awesome! Figured Hans would use the guitar for the Spanish accents in the movie. Rodrigo Y Gabriela sound amazing.

Can\’t wait to hear the soundtrack!

What was the deal with the first film? Score was credited to Klaus Badelt, but contained all of the recurring themes that Zimmer has retained throughout the series. Was it a case of the Remote Control factory designing the score by committee? I know often a Zimmer score will contain work from other Remote Control composers, but haven\’t really seen the credit transferred like it was on te Pirates sequels. Didn\’t even say anything like \”contains themes from Klaus Badelt\” or anything.

Weird.
