As far as film composers who “manipulate emotions” go, I don’t know if I’d use Zimmer as an example. His stuff is fairly boring. Howard Shore can make me feel more “at home” with a composition than I ever felt at home (when listening to Concerning Hobbits).

I really liked the music from MW2. That distorted bass is tattooed in my brain. Interstellar was pretty good, too. The pipe organ was different.
