In the first episode of Season 4 of Tom Holkenborg’s Studio Time series, Holkenborg take a deep dive into the track The Crew at Warpower from Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, got his start with dance music production, but is now best known for his soundtracks to blockbuster films like Mad Max: Fury Road, Deadpool, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
In this season of Studio Time, Holkenborg plans to share a behind-the-scenes look into scoring Justice League: The Snyder Cut, Godzilla vs Kong, and Army of the Dead. Along the way, he plans on discussing budget studio setups, hardware x DAW connectivity, his favorite synth plug-ins and insert effects and sound design.
In this video, he breaks down the track The Crew at Warpower, looking at orchestration, sound design, theme writing, character development, his plug-in choices and more.
But, as Holkenborg says, “Enough with the bullshit talk…”, check out the episode and share your thoughts 0n it in the comments!
Good workflow he’s got going there. His scaled back studio looks much more efficient than before.
+1
Love Junkie XL’s work, but Zach’s Snyder’s work is pretty mediocre.
Sucker Punch looked like a middle-aged guy’s fantasy video game. Justice League put me to sleep after the first hour, because it looked like a video game, instead of a movie, and nothing was happening.
> Zach’s Snyder’s work is pretty mediocre.
yes, but “300” had cutting-edge cgi. that film alone makes him one of the greatest movie directors.
the same is true for paul hardcastle and “19.” that song alone makes him one of the greatest synth pop artists.
Was a terrile film tho.
it was somewhat islamophobic, yes, even homophobic, i give you that. but visually breathtaking. script was great, too.
Tom is so talented and willing to share and teach. A real help for so many of us. Thank you for this interview
“willing to share and teach”
Watched it last night and probably the worst score 9ve heard in a movie. Its seriously comically bad.
nooooo. wrong timing to release that video now. junkie´s newest project, godzilla vs. kong, will be released in 3 days on hbo max. i´d like to have seen a featurette about that film´s score now.
All Holkenborg’s stuff sounds like his Mad Max score.
Nope. Not for me. Sounds like the musical equivalent of the trailer voice. Boring.
Everyones’ a critic. The sheer amount of work put into all those films, sound and vision, is worthy of serious respect, no matter your highly subjective judgement of their artistic merit.

no, its popcorn cinema. 😉
it has the artistic merit of bubble gum.
