You’ve all seen the new batman, I’m sure?  With its lovely score by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer (and one guy who did “additional music,” one “scoring coordinator,” one “score production coordinator,” two “technical scoring engineers,” and a whopping eight [!] orchestrators)?

Anyway.  So you know how there’s all those times where a handful of violins sit on a single note for a while?  You know, for tension and what not? (for the uninitiated, a bad example **HERE**.)  Well, the entire movie whenever this happened I couldn’t help but think of the very beginning of an album I recorded in 2006 - the track-in-question of which you can find **HERE**.

Funny, the similarities!  And before you go thinking I’m making ridiculous accusations, I’m actually just pointing out massively blatant copyright infringement.  I’ll expect my check in the mail.
