Hans Zimmer
This week we chose somebody very famous: Hans Zimmer. Watch this amazing report about his work:
Hans Florian Zimmer (born September 12, 1957) is a German film score composer and music producer.
For nearly three decades Zimmer has composed music for over 100 films including some critically acclaimed film scores, such as The Lion King, Gladiator, and The Dark Knight. Some of his recent compositions for motion pictures are Angels & Demons (2009), Sherlock Holmes (2009), Inception (2010), Megamind (2010), and Rango (2011).
Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He is the head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios, and works with other composers through the company which he founded, Remote Control Productions.
His works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. He has received four Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Classical BRIT Award, and an Academy Award. He is named also on the list of the “Top 100 living geniuses”, published by The Daily Telegraph.
