BBC News Channel - HARDtalk, Hans Zimmer

Shaun Ley speaks to German-born Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer.

Shaun Ley speaks to German-born Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer about whether the technology he champions is killing the music makers.

From his Oscar-winning score for The Lion King, through 12 Years A Slave to a series of superhero blockbusters including Batman v Superman, Hans Zimmer is, as one director put it, 'quite simply the contemporary composer to work with'. German born and British educated, he never received formal musical training and is a champion of technology. Shaun Ley asks Hans Zimmer whether the technology he so loves is killing the music makers.
