Visionary Director Christopher Nolan returns for the final chapter of the Batman saga. In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection video we profile the sound and music team including Composer Hans Zimmer and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer Richard King.

SYNOPSIS:

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ The Dark Knight Rises is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

With a great track record in music, events branding and designing high quality books, Form is celebrating 21 years as one of London's most vibrant studios

Who would be your ideal client? It's a question designers often ask themselves. Paula Benson and Paul West, founders of Form are no different. One day in 2010 Benson sat down, opened her notebook and gave it some thought. What she jotted down was: 'Rebrand NASA' and 'Virgin Media'. The next day there was an email in her inbox from Mischa Varmuza at Virgin Galactic asking if Form would like to work with them.

It's one of the best design industry anecdotes we've ever heard. Cosmic intervention, serendipity, total coincidence - call it what you will. But it's a story that chimes perfectly with the positive attitude that West and Benson exude whenever we talk to them. They love being designers and it shows in their work.

A mammoth music library should inspire pride, not anxiety. The problem is, how do you begin to sort through tens of thousands of tracks? Shuffle functions are too dumbed down, and there's no time to create a custom playlist for every occasion.

One of the world's fastest pianists has been in Britain to promote what he calls "continuous music", a style of playing that creates waves of notes that at some points reaches 19 notes per second.

Ukrainian pianist Lubomyr Melnyk says the sound is the true transcendant voice of the piano.

However, he says acquiring the skill to play at such speed requires you to master your body in the way of a kung fu master.

Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach's Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music's underlying structure and subtle shifts.
