Summer 2019: Composer Johnny Klimek approaches Urs about Zebra2 presets for a secret film music project. So how did all this come about? Below is an excerpt from the U-HE web site on the 2 year journey to create these sounds and I also included a 27 minute review of these preset with Nick Batt over at Sonic State. And as with Dark Zebra presets, Howard, Viktor, and Urs’s work here is also master class in sound design. That being said, these sounds for HIVE don’t disappoint.
In the past U-HE and U-HE’s Howard Scarr has collaborated with composers like Hans Zimmer to make sounds (and even a special version of Zebra called Dark Zebra), so I was kind of surprised when they made these sounds for Hive. These sounds were used film composers Johnny Klimek and Tom Tykwer for the TV Series Bab ylon Berlin and then by both composers again for The Matrix Resurrections.
Over two years in the making, Metaphorium for Hive 2 is now available! 220+ presets programmed in-house by Howard Scarr, Viktor Weimer (TUC) and Urs Heckmann himself.
