The Dark Knight Symphony (Custom Edit) - Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard (FLAC)

[Geof]

I love nonstop albums, and I love the soundtracks from this trilogy, so I decided to compile my favorite tracks into a single non-stop CD. I've tried to keep it all chronological, and make the tracks flow into each other as naturally as possible. There's some editing involved to keep it within the 80 minutes available to a CD, hopefully nothing comes across as jarring.

With the sole exception of "No Stone Unturned" (which is currently available only in .mp3 format,) all sources are lossless. All tracks from "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" were taken from the Complete Recordings, while all tracks from "The Dark Knight Rises" were taken from the official CD Soundtrack. When the eventual Complete Edition of TDKR becomes available in lossless format, I'll most likely go back & re-edit (ACID Pro is kinda awesome that way.)

I've uploaded the entire 408mb .zip to UppIT, which I've never used before. But it's fairly new & offers 500mb storage. If something happens to it, I'll be happy to re-up to another preferred site.

Thanks!

What fonts did you use for the cover? Please tell me, I'm working on custom art for BB, TDK and TDKR myself.
And I'm getting your symphony now.

[Admiral_Young]

Thanks for this!

Nice orchestral suite from the trilogy. Nice choice of tracks (I'd done the same selection). Only one favorite track that I miss in my opinion is from Batman Begins > Batman on fire (Recording sessions disc 2) Good word though!

[DaUpp]

Very nice Idea, looking forward to hear that :-)

Enjoy and Please Say Thanks

WOW!

[wimpel69]

So, the "Symphony" (seeing Hans Zimmer even associated with the term is a shock) is just a collection of bits and pieces from the original albums?

Looks like it, it's his username after all

What fonts did you use for the cover? Please tell me, I'm working on custom art for BB, TDK and TDKR myself.
And I'm getting your symphony now.

Univers LT Std (75 I think) for the title and "music composed by" lines, and Univers LT 55 for the "From the Dark Knight Trilogy" line. They're not the exact fonts used on the official posters, etc. (that font's slightly narrower) but it was the closest I could find for free. Also, the two lines at the bottom needed extra spaces - one space between letters, three spaces between words.

[sinus]

could we just merge this with the FLAC version thread?

[sinus]

well, i have to say the choice of font is nice. but the typographic work (kerning and letter-spacing) is a nightmare.

And, as the guy who created this album & uploaded the [Hidden link. Register to see links.], I'd appreciate it if collection could at least encode his .mp3 version in VBR if he's going to repost my compilation. 320 is for suckers.

And wimpel69, it's not just a straightforward collection. Everything runs together in a nonstop format, with some segues that sound pretty cool (to me at least, haha.)

No argument. If anyone wants to set it properly, I'll happily replace mine with it.

[sinus]

I'm on it.

And regarding "Symphony": "Suite" would be better. ^^

...if it weren't a full album, and if there weren't already fan-made suites out there of music solely from "The Dark Knight".

You're right of course ...

As requested, a redone cover for "The Dark Knight Symphony". (PNG @ 1080 × 1080)

- the font is now "Helvetica Neue" (correct font).
- the letters are now properly spaced.
- the credits are now properly centered.
- contains alternate cover (with "Suite" or "Trilogy" instead of "Symphony")
- contains resources (JPEG wallpaper and SVG files with letters as paths)

Thank you!

[TREKmaniacX]

Stop calling it "symphony"... it's just wrong and misleading! It's rather a suite.

[Sirusjr]

Stop calling it "symphony"... it's just wrong and misleading!

Yes! Any fan-made compilation should be so labeled. The term symphony in this context would imply that it was arranged for orchestra (which would sound like shit as we already heard on the City of Prague Philharmonic's Music of Batman album).

[p0llux]

horrible title.

btw i'm just gonna throw this out there.

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

[sinus]

well, or you could just title it TRILOGY ...
whaddaya think? shall i update the cover once more?

[sinus]

Currently listening to it and exploring the TDKR section (which I never heard apart from the movie) ...

It's a fun ride if you're in the mood. I'd even call it THE ACTION COLLECTION because the music won't come to a rest and the suite makes a big mistake:
IT MISSES THE RA'S AL GHUL THEME!!!

Basically it just jumps from one action piece to another. Can be pretty exhausting.
