How Hans Zimmer and Radiohead transformed “Bloom“ for Blue Planet II

Radiohead’s “Bloom,“ remixed for the ocean. Subscribe to our channel! If you listen closely enough to Radiohead and Hans Zimmer’s rework of “Bloom” for Blue Planet II, you can hear a really fascinating orchestral trick at work. They call it the “tidal orchestra” — it’s a musical effect created by instructing each player to play their notes only if the person next to them isn’t playing. The result is a randomly swelling and fading musical bed for the entire series that captures the feeling of ocean waves. It’s a captivating way to score a soundtrack for the ocean — but it also fits in with a long history of capturing randomness in music composition. “(ocean) bloom“ Created by Hans Zimmer and Radiohead In collaboration with Bleeding Fingers Music Produced by Russell Emanuel Recorded by Geoff Foster at Air Lyndhurst Studios Mixed by Nigel Godrich, Geoff Foster and Russell Emanuel Thumbnail image courtesy of Patch Dolan Photography is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what’s really driving the events in the headlines.
