I’m deep into an exciting project now (will share soon!) which is a collaboration with my friend Tina Guo… who also happens to be the cellist for Hans Zimmer in amongst a whole bunch of other awesome things she does. Here she is on stage a few years ago when we all met up in Europe.
I was lucky enough to join Hans Zimmer and his cool band while on tour in Europe. I was with him at two different concerts. Since I was kind of an unofficial part of the crew, I was able to get up on stage and take a bunch of photos. This is Hans’ piano that he was ripping to shreds during the concert… He’s such an inspiration.
It was cool to go to Germany to see the next Hans Zimmer concert and watch everyone warming up. I know very little about music, but it’s always nice to watch people practicing their own craft. I got to talk to Tina and a bunch of the other band members to watch how incredible they are… their commitment and drive is really inspiring!
Here’s a crazy Covid story for you!

This was the second time I had seen Hans Zimmer in concert and this time it was in Frankfurt. His friend Lisa Gerrard came in to do her bit for one of the famous Gladiator songs. Man, she can really belt it out. The stage production for these shows is really incredible.
I’ve been working on some fractal math… I suppose many of my followers know that my major was in computer science and math, so I’ve been working on some intense stuff lately now that I understand more about the fabric of reality. I’ll post this to r/DMT as well.

While in Frankfurt, we went to go see Hans Zimmer in concert. It was a rather special concert because it was for his birthday, and, even more, this is where Hans was born! People were going absolute apeshit when he came out on stage. Here he is with his old friend Trevor Horn. They got their start together decades ago as The Buggles.
She’s a kick-ass cellist and an awesome person, as you can see in this video:
Haha… I usually don’t take photos like this… it’s quite hyper-sexualized, if you didn’t notice. I’m actually friends with her and I took photos of her and Hans Zimmer and the rest of the band at two of their concerts. I wasn’t so sure about sharing THIS particular photo. I liked it a lot… but, well you know how people can be super-judgy. I didn’t care about them – mostly Tina. Well, it turned out that she LOVED it and re-shared it on her account. So, that made me feel a lot better and a bit silly about having so much self-doubt!

I was lucky enough to see my friend Hans perform twice in Europe. Once was in Hungary and the other time was in Germany. Both concerts had a lot of similarities, but I was surprised how much Hans ad-libbed a lot of the stuff he was saying between each song. He was especially popular in his hometown of Frankfurt where the fans went absolutely nuts.
I ended up with about 50 (or so) good photos of the two concerts and made a special book just for him and his crew.
Here’s the Facebook LIVE from at the soundcheck for the Hans Zimmer in Frankfurt at the Commerzbank-Arena with our big contest winner Martin Rosenkranz and his wife who came with him to see the concert! While we were filming Lisa Gerrard was belting out one of my favorites from Gladiator while the sound crew gets the levels right. A night spent taking photos while listening to incredible music, couldn’t ask for anything better. Below are some of my favorite photos from both the Budapest and Frankfurt concerts, check them out!
