"Aurora" is dedicated to those who lost their lives and were affected by the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. I recorded this song in London in the days following the tragedy as a heartfelt tribute to the victims and their families. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Aurora Victim Relief organization. The track is available on iTunes shortly and here: http://bitly.com/QmUiWM" - Hans Zimmer

"Aurora" runs 8:36 and appears to only be availible as a 160kbps mp3 (although I didn't check iTunes), but the sound is quality and the music is absolutely moving.

You may download the track for a minimum $0.10 donation, which I think we can all agree is for a most worthy cause.

Seems like i'm unable to purchase it (I live outside the box and U.S). :/

If anyone uploads and shares this, regardless of audio quality, I swear to god... :eye:

looking forward to buying off itunes later!

I would happily donate, but I'm not a U.S. resident either. I hope they change it to allow international contributions.

Same here...

I don't donate to some dead losers.

Good God, I remember you. I'm reporting your post.

All I said is "Why donate to some dead losers?"
This is all part of the Has Zimmer money making machine.
I find it appalling.

too bad I can't purchase it as i'm not an us citizen. so does this mean that I can't hear it?

This nigger reported. Damn, iTunes won't let me purchase this on my new computer...Forgot my security questions :(

You can donate from outside the US... I just went ahead and entered an address in California and then my credit card info from Argentina. It worked.

Warner Bros have realized that they have blood on their hands. Now they try to clean them. Everybody who believes the money is for a good purpose - and anything else but ticket sales - is wrong.

It was Christopher Nolan who inspired poor madman Holmes by creating the Joker that Holmes imitated. Don't you get it? This has become a political problem.

What I get is that you skipped your meds for the past year.

I see a lock in the future of this thread, possible member banning and warnings across the board. It's a real shame too. In this case I'd happily have bought the track had I been in the US. I hope that they stretch it out to Amazon MP3 at some point too.

Only thing was the guy had ORANGE hair, so he can call himself joker all he wants, but the jokes on him. Joker had green hair.

And never the less, think what you will, but coming out like this will simply get others angry and hate on you, don't waste your effort here.

Now if you excuse me, I'm leaving this thread until things are... finished.

And who are you, ggctuk2005? Another bold british fetish fella who posts in the wrong forum?

I used to post scores quite frequently here. Then I saw a bunch of people like you and decided that you don't deserve the kind of stuff I have to contribute.

Please don't quote and reply to this guy. Just use the "ignore" feature. Makes life easier.

Fair point, I almost forgot I was speaking to a troll.

It's a CON, and you believe everything they try to make us think.
Zimmer is just playing his part.

Good day.

Done that already.

He's banned anyways. Let's just forget about this troll.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I know we all agree to ignore our now rightfully banned comrad, but just to speak to that type of appalling sentiment...

The Batman stories are a form of modern mythology and morality plays. Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight films delineate a very responsible message of moral obligation and compassion for the defenseless. Their morality is not hidden within some intellectual satire, but rather worn directly on the sleeve. The fact that villainy is depicted in a relatable and seductive way is not to condone it, but to hold a mirror up to society and confront the darkness we all share while making a point about how heinous we are all capable of becoming without a strong conviction toward righteousness and the choice of civility. That's why Nolan's vision, in particular, is considered to be Art - because it looks deeper into the human condition than just some frivolous action exploit. Those films are not reckless with their ideals nor with their compartmentalization of evil, but the coward at the center of the Aurora shooting is.

In the same respect that someone should have been sensitive to the disturbing signs shown by that coward in Aurora, I hope a most watchful eye is honed in on anyone who would ridicule the innocent victims and families of a tragedy, disparage a charity designed to help alieviate their sudden finacial burden, or pathetically try to justify their sadistic attitudes by pointing at any work of art - because an indiviual of this sort clearly fails the empathy test!

What the hell is wrong with you?

:erm: I was thinking the exact same thing.

Ha! ha!
The ugly face of patriotism rears its head again!

Keep on preaching - madness is all around us.

There is something wrong with the people who can't donate to this. I really hope no one gets this for free. It's fkr a good cause, people. It won't hurt to even pay $1.29 for it on iTunes...

I hope even if some have to download this for free, they will at least find a way to support its cause and throw a dollar in the right direction.

One would hope so. The alternative requires a severe lack of empathy.

released on iTunes (french store), I buy this ;)

bitrate ? (us = 160kbps)

?????

Quality costs! () iTunes = 256kbps / Watertower Music = 160kbps

lol

[ Be my guest, I don't give a fuck about you or what you do.

Doing this, seems like you don't give a fuck about people in general.
I hope these free links will be promptly deleted. I'm not American, but I bought the music, it's the less we can do to help all these families in pain.

I wonder, if the more you donate ($5+) you get a higher quality file.
WAV 16bit, 44.1kHz.
WAV 24bit, 44.1kHz.
WAV 16bit, 48kHz.
WAV 24bit, 48kHz.
WAV 24bit, 88kHz.
WAV 24bit, 96kHz.
WAV 24bit, 192kHz....

Support this guys, donate! Really. If you want to pirate something do it when it's a cost for a large company, not people who have had a horrifying experience.

if I buy this off iTunes, does the $1.29 go toward the donation, or is it better to buy off the site with the donation amounts.

WHY are any of you letting the trolls get attention? It's the internet. There are always some people who wanna just get their attention by saying or doing the meanest thing possible. Everyone here knows that, and knows to ignore them. Just...ignore them.

I imagine all proceeds on any sight that legitimately sells this track goes to the cause.
iTunes, official site. the blog.

Although, I wouldn't trust a blog.

I can post a paypal account donation applet and mimic the Aurora donations.
I would stick with the regulated outlets: iTunes and the official site.

I have to wait 24 hours before my credit card is activated before I can donate.

I think I can debunk this; gave $5, got a 160kbps file.

Doesn't really matter to me, though. The music is secondary, a trifle to motivate a donation to a good cause. It's a nice gesture. (Though your idea would have been a cool idea to encourage higher donations.)

I keep getting messages asking if I think the free links should be deleted.

I am not a mod, and cannot edit posts, so I don't really think it matters what I think. I would guess that technically, the links are allowed. Personally, I think the worst thing to do is to be divisive about this on the forum. If you disagree or agree with the free links, say nothing either way. The best repect I can offer is to not be fighting over petty shit right now.

if anyone feels the links should be deleted, you can report the posts and stir up controversy.
piss of the actual mods/admins.
they like this sort of stuff :)

OR (all due love sparks), just grit your teeth and keep it to yourself. Really, the more we fight over these really petty things, the less we lose sight of the bigger tragedy. Just for even one night, can't we just get along and NOT stir up shit for the sake of doing so?
