Hans Florian Zimmer (German pronunciation: [hans floi ian tsm]; born 12
September 1957) is a German composer and record producer. Since the
1980s, he has composed music for over 150 films. His works include The Lion

Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Thin Red Line, Gladiator, The Last
Samurai, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar.

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
that he founded, Remote Control Productions.[1]

Zimmer's works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with
traditional orchestral arrangements. He has received four Grammy Awards,
three Classical BRIT Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. He
was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily
Telegraph.[2]

Early life

Zimmer was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. As a young child, he lived

in Knigstein-Falkenstein, where he played the piano at home, but had piano
lessons only briefly as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons.[3] He
moved to London as a teenager, where he attended Hurtwood House school.
[4] In an interview with Mashable in February 2013, he said of his parents "My
mother was very musical, basically a musician, and my father was an
engineer and an inventor. So, I grew up modifying the piano, shall we say,
which made my mother gasp in horror, and my father would think it was
fantastic when I would attach chainsaws and stuff like that to the piano

because he thought it was an evolution in technology."[5] In an interview with

the German television station ZDF in 2006, he commented: "My father died
when I was just a child, and I escaped somehow into the music and music has
been my best friend."[6] In a speech at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival, Zimmer
revealed that he is Jewish, and told about his mother's escape to England in
1939.[7]
Career
Early career

Zimmer began his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the 1970s,
with the band Krakatoa.[8] He worked with the Buggles, a new wave band
formed in London in 1977 with Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley.
Zimmer can be seen briefly in the Buggles' music video for the 1979 song
"Video Killed the Radio Star".[9] After working with the Buggles, he started to
work for the Italian group Krisma, a new wave band formed in 1976 with
Maurizio Arcieri and Christina Moser. He was a featured synthesist for
Krismas third album, Cathode Mamma. He has also worked with the band
Helden (with Warren Cann from Ultravox).[10] Both Zimmer (on keyboards)
and Cann (on drums), were invited to be part of the Spanish group Mecano
for a live performance in Segovia (Spain) in 1984. Two songs from this concert
were included in the "Mecano: En Concierto" album released in 1985 only in
Spain. In 1985 he contributed to the Shriekback album Oil & Gold.[11] In
1980 Zimmer co-produced a single, "History of the World, Part 1," with, and
for, UK punk band the Damned, which was also included on their 1980 LP
release, "The Black Album," and carried the description of his efforts as
"Over-Produced by Hans Zimmer."

While living in London, Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air-Edel

Associates.[10] In the 1980s, Zimmer partnered with Stanley Myers, a prolific
film composer who wrote the scores for over sixty films. Zimmer and Myers
cofounded the Londonbased Lillie Yard recording studio. Together, Myers
and Zimmer worked on fusing the traditional orchestral sound with electronic
instruments.[12] Some of the films on which Zimmer and Myers worked are
Moonlighting (1982), Success is the Best Revenge (1984), Insignificance
(1985), and My Beautiful Launderette (1985). Zimmer's first solo score was
Terminal Exposure for director Nico Mastorakis in 1987, for which he also
wrote the songs. Zimmer acted as score producer for the 1987 film The Last
Emperor, which won the Academy Award for Best Original Score.[10]

One of Zimmer's most durable works from his time in the United Kingdom
was the theme song for the television game show Going for Gold, which he
composed with Sandy McClelland in 1987. In an interview with the BBC,
Zimmer said: "Going For Gold was a lot of fun. It's the sort of stuff you do
when you don't have a career yet. God, I just felt so lucky because this thing
paid my rent for the longest time."[13]
Hollywood film scoring

A turning point in Zimmer's career occurred with the 1988 film Rain Man.[12]
Hollywood director Barry Levinson was looking for someone to score Rain
Man, and his wife heard the soundtrack CD of the anti-Apartheid drama A
World Apart, for which Zimmer had composed the music. Levinson was
impressed by Zimmer's work, and hired him to score Rain Man.[14] In the
score, Zimmer uses synthesizers (mostly a Fairlight CMI) mixed with steel
drums. Zimmer explained that "It was a road movie, and road movies usually
have jangly guitars or a bunch of strings. I kept thinking don't be bigger than
the characters. Try to keep it contained. The Raymond character doesn't
actually know where he is. The world is so different to him. He might as well
be on Mars. So, why don't we just invent our own world music for a world that
doesn't really exist?".[15] Zimmers score for Rain Man was nominated for an
Academy Award in 1989, and the film won four Academy Awards including
Best Picture.[16]

A year after Rain Man, Zimmer was asked to compose the score for Bruce
Beresford's Driving Miss Daisy which, like Rain Man, won an Academy Award
for Best Picture. Driving Miss Daisys instrumentation consisted entirely of
synthesizers and samplers, played by Zimmer. According to an interview with
Sound On Sound magazine in 2002, the piano sounds heard within the score
come from the Roland MKS20, a rackmount synthesizer. Zimmer joked: "It
didn't sound anything like a piano, but it behaved like a piano."[17]
1990s

"I listen to [Zimmer's] music and I don't even have to shut my eyes. I can see
the pictures. And that's why, in many respects, I know I can talk pictures with
Hans. He responds to pictures."
Ridley Scott, director and producer and frequent collaborator with Zimmer.
[18]

The soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1991 film Thelma & Louise by Zimmer
featured the trademark slide guitar performance by Pete Haycock on the
"Thunderbird" theme in the film. As a teenager, Zimmer was a fan of
Haycock, and their collaboration on film scores includes K2 and Drop Zone.
[19]

For the 1992 film The Power of One, Zimmer traveled to Africa in order to use
African choirs and drums in the recording of the score. On the strength of this
work, Walt Disney Animation Studios approached Zimmer to compose the
score for the 1994 film The Lion King. This was to be his first score for an
animated film. Zimmer said that he had wanted to go to South Africa to
record parts of the soundtrack, but was unable to visit the country as he had
a police record there "for doing 'subversive' movies" after his work on The
Power of One. Disney studio bosses expressed fears that Zimmer would be
killed if he went to South Africa, so the recording of the choirs was organized
during a visit by Lebo M.[20] Zimmer won numerous awards for his work on
The Lion King, including an Academy Award for Best Original Score, a Golden
Globe, and two Grammys. In 1997, the score was adapted into a Broadway
musical version which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1998.[21][22]
As of April 2012, the musical version of The Lion King is the highest grossing
Broadway show of all time, having grossed $853.8 million.[23]

Crimson Tide "Roll Tide"

Zimmer's score for Tony Scott's 1995 film Crimson Tide won a Grammy Award
for the main theme, which makes heavy use of synthesizers in place of
traditional orchestral instruments. For The Thin Red Line (1998), Zimmer said
that the director Terrence Malick wanted the music before he started filming,
so he recorded six and a half hours of music.[15] Zimmer's next project was
The Prince of Egypt (1998), which was produced by DreamWorks Animation.
He introduced Ofra Haza, an Israeli Yemenite singer, to the directors, and
they thought she was so beautiful that they designed one of the characters in
the film to look like her.[15]

2000s

In the 2000s, Zimmer has composed scores for Hollywood blockbuster films
including three Ridley Scott films, Gladiator (2000), Black Hawk Down and
Hannibal (2001), followed by The Last Samurai (2003), Madagascar (2005),
The Da Vinci Code (2006), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Angels & Demons
(2009) and Sherlock Holmes (2009). While writing the score for The Last
Samurai, Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely
limited. He began doing extensive research, but the more he studied, the less
he felt he knew. Finally, Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for
feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about
Japanese music.[15]
Hans Zimmer at The Dark Knight premiere in 2008

During the scoring of The Last Samurai in early 2003, Zimmer was
approached by the producer Jerry Bruckheimer, with whom he had worked
previously on Crimson Tide, Days of Thunder, The Rock and Pearl Harbor.
Bruckheimer had finished shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the
Black Pearl but was unhappy with the music composed for the film by Alan
Silvestri and wanted a replacement score.[24] Bruckheimer wanted Zimmer
to rescore the film, but due to his commitments on The Last Samurai, the
task of composing and supervising music for Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pearl was given to Klaus Badelt, one of Zimmer's
colleagues at Media Ventures. Zimmer provided some themes that were used
in the film, although he is not credited on screen.[25][26] Zimmer was hired
as the composer for the three subsequent films in the series, Pirates of the
Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
(2007), and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), collaborating
with Rodrigo y Gabriela for the latter.[27]

For the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes, "The Daily Variety" reported that Zimmer
purchased an out-of-tune piano for 200 dollars and used it throughout the
scoring process because of its "quirkiness".[28] For the 2011 sequel Sherlock
Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Zimmer and director Guy Ritchie incorporated

authentic Romani gypsy music, which they researched by visiting Slovakia,

Italy and France. The gypsy music in the film is played by Romani virtuoso
musicians.[29][30]

Zimmer is also noted for his work on the scores of Christopher Nolan's
Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008), on which he collaborated
with James Newton Howard.[13] For the soundtrack of The Dark Knight,
Zimmer decided to represent the character of The Joker by a single note
played on the cello by his long-time colleague Martin Tillman. Zimmer
commented "I wanted to write something people would truly hate."[31] The
scores for these films were disqualified from receiving Academy Award
nominations for Best Original Score due to too many composers being listed
on the cue sheet.[32] Zimmer succeeded in reversing the decision not to
nominate The Dark Knight in December 2008, arguing that the process of
creating a modern film score was collaborative, and that it was important to
credit a range of people who had played a part in its production.[33] Zimmer
explained his approach to scoring with other musicians in an interview with
Soundtrack.net in 2006:

Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard "Now We Are Free"

"Originally I had this idea that it should be possible to create some kind of
community around this kind of work, and I think by muddying the titles not
having "you are the composer, you are the arranger, you are the
orchestrator" it just sort of helped us to work more collaboratively. It wasn't
that important to me that I had "score by Hans Zimmer" and took sole credit
on these things. It's like Gladiator: I gave Lisa Gerrard the co-credit because,
even though she didn't write the main theme, her presence and contributions
were very influential. She was more than just a soloist, and this is why I have
such a problem with specific credits."[34]

Zimmer works with other composers through his company Remote Control
Productions, formerly known as Media Ventures. His studio in Santa Monica,
California has an extensive range of computer equipment and keyboards,
allowing demo versions of film scores to be created quickly.[35] His

colleagues at the studio have included Harry Gregson-Williams, James Dooley,

Geoff Zanelli, Henning Lohner, Hugh Marsh, Steve Jablonsky, Mark Mancina,
John Van Tongeren, John Powell, Nick Phoenix and Thomas J. Bergersen.

In October 2000, Zimmer performed live in concert for the first time with an
orchestra and choir at the 27th Annual Flanders International Film Festival in
Ghent.[36] He has received a range of honors and awards, including the
Lifetime Achievement Award in film Composition from the National Board of
Review, the Frederick Loewe Award in 2003 at the Palm Springs International
Film Festival, ASCAPs Henry Mancini Award for Lifetime Achievement, and
BMI's Richard Kirk Award for lifetime achievement in 1996. Other work in the
2000s included the Spanish language film Casi Divas,[37] Sherlock Holmes,
and The Burning Plain (2009). He composed the theme for the television
boxing series The Contender, and worked with Lorne Balfe on the music for
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which was his first video game project.[38]
Zimmer also collaborated with composers Borislav Slavov and Tilman Sillescu
to create the score for the video game Crysis 2.[39]
2010s

For the 2010 film Inception, Zimmer used electronic manipulation of the song
"Non, je ne regrette rien". The horn sound in the score, described by Zimmer
as "like huge foghorns over a city" became a popular feature in film trailers,
with Zimmer commenting "It's funny how that sort of thing becomes part of
the zeitgeist. But I suppose that's exactly what trailers are looking for:
something iconic, lasts less than a second, and shakes the seats in the
theater."[40][41]
Zimmer's Star on the "Boulevard der Stars" in Berlin

In December 2010, Zimmer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He dedicated the award to his publicist and long term friend Ronni Chasen,
who had been shot and killed in Beverly Hills the previous month.[42]

In 2012, Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy
Awards with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes.[43] He also composed a new
version of the theme music for ABC World News.[44]

Zimmer also composed the score for The Dark Knight Rises, the final
installment of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy. The film was
released in July 2012.[45] Zimmer described himself as "devastated" in the
aftermath of the 2012 Aurora shooting, which occurred at a screening of The
Dark Knight Rises, commenting "I just feel so incredibly sad for these people."
He recorded a track entitled "Aurora", a choral arrangement of a theme from
the Dark Knight Rises soundtrack, to raise money for the victims of the
shooting.[46]

He co-composed the music for the television series The Bible, which was
broadcast in March 2013, with Lorne Balfe and Lisa Gerrard, and the score for
12 Years a Slave, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in March
2014. Zimmer composed the Tomorrowland Hymn for the Tomorrowland
festival to celebrate its tenth anniversary in July 2014.[47]

Zimmer composed the music for the 2014 film The Amazing Spider-Man 2
alongside "The Magnificent Six", which consisted of Pharrell Williams, Johnny
Marr, Michael Einziger, Junkie XL, Andrew Kawczynski, and Steve Mazzaro.
[48][49] Zimmer also composed the music for Christopher Nolan's 2014 film
Interstellar, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best
Original Score.[50] He partnered with Junkie XL to compose the music for the
2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In an interview with BBC
News in March 2016, Zimmer said that he was retiring from composing the
music for superhero films, saying of Batman v Superman "This one was very
hard for me to do, to try to find new language".[51]

Zimmer composed the main theme for the 2016 BBC nature documentary
Planet Earth II, presented by David Attenborough.[52]

Zimmer composed the main theme for the 2016 Netflix production The Crown
(TV series). [53]
Personal life

His first wife was model Vicki Carolin with whom he has a daughter, model
Zoe Zimmer.[54] Zimmer lives in Los Angeles with his second wife Suzanne
Zimmer, and has four children.[55][56]
