[Malte Müller]

Or at least an unconscious copy. Even though musicians often hear less music (since they are busy make their own, they surely heard a lot and sometimes you just replicate ideas you heard. Several times I hear something and thing “I know this from somewhere”.
Afterall there are only twelve tones and not endless combinations. Actually a wonder that we stil get so much different music.

Like I always hear Fiedel’s Terminator theme in John Williams’ trumpet intro of Born On The 4th Of July

Now that you say it I hear it as well 😉 Quite a typical fanfare like interval of course (is that a fifth actually like in Superman?)
