Zimmer, who created the themes for classics such as Gladiator, Inception, and The Dark Knight series, was commissioned by Netflix to create the tune. The company reasoned that while the sound you hear when arriving at its site is now as well-known as the THX Deep Note, the three-second length makes it unsuitable for theaters. That’s where the famous composer came in, extending it to sixteen seconds. As you can hear below, it has the same epic quality that’s found throughout the German’s work; it reminds me of Zimmer’s Man of Steel theme.
The Netflix Moment Track can also gain weight to your movie references. Corporate sites and other broadcast sites have long struggled to find acceptance of some in the film industry. Rome, of Netflix, won best director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography at the 2019 Oscars, but in short series of his films Steven Spielberg and other Academy members called for his ban from the Oscars.
This unique “ta-dum” sound can now be identified in much of the world, however, it may have only included a goat balido. In a recent episode of the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast, Netflix Vice President Tod Yellin revealed that he had commissioned Oscar-winning sound editor Lon Bender to offer something memorable. He tried many other sounds, adding open doors and using instruments, and one of the definitive creations was an edition of “ta-dum” that ended with a goat scream.
“If we made this call and this answer, which created tension and then solved it very quickly, I liked the sound of the goat,” Yellin said. “It’s funny, I think it’s strange. This is our edition of Leo the Lion (from MGM). For a while, we were stuck in that.” The edition he used, of course, is goat-free.
