Together, Myers and Zimmer worked on fusing the traditional orchestral sound with electronic instruments. Zimmer and Myers co–founded the London–based Lillie Yard recording studio. In the 1980s, Zimmer partnered with Stanley Myers, a prolific film composer who wrote the scores for over sixty films.
While living in London, Zimmer wrote advertising jingles for Air-Edel Associates. 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." In 1985, he contributed to the Shriekback album Oil & Gold. Two songs from this concert were included in the " Mecano: En Concierto" album released in 1985 only in Spain. 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. He has also worked with the band Helden (with Warren Cann from Ultravox).
He was a featured synthesist for Krisma's third album, Cathode Mamma. 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. Zimmer can be seen briefly in the Buggles' music video for the 1979 song " Video Killed the Radio Star". He worked with the Buggles, a new wave band formed in London in 1977 with Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes, and Bruce Woolley. Zimmer began his career playing keyboards and synthesizers in the 1970s, with the band Krakatoa. 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." 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." Career 1977–1988 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. In an interview in May 2014, Zimmer revealed that it was difficult growing up in post-War Germany being Jewish and said, "I think my parents were always wary of me telling the neighbors" that they were Jewish. In a speech at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival, Zimmer stated that he is Jewish, and talked about his mother surviving World War II thanks to her escape from Germany to England in 1939. During his childhood, he was strongly influenced by the film scores of Ennio Morricone and has cited Once Upon a Time in the West as the score that inspired him to become a film composer. He moved to London as a teenager, where he attended Hurtwood House school. And I'm a child of the 20th century computers came in very handy." Zimmer attended the Ecole D'Humanité, an international boarding school in Canton Bern, Switzerland. In one of his Reddit AMAs, he said: "My formal training was two weeks of piano lessons. As a young child, he lived in Königstein-Falkenstein, where he played the piano at home but had piano lessons only briefly, as he disliked the discipline of formal lessons. Zimmer was born on 12 September 1957 in Frankfurt, West Germany. 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. 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, formerly known as Media Ventures. Zimmer spent the early part of his career in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States. He won a second Academy Award for Dune in 2022. His works include The Lion King (for which he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1995), Gladiator, The Last Samurai, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar and Dunkirk.
Since the 1980s, Zimmer has composed music for over 150 films. His works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. Zimmer was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph. He has won two Oscars and four Grammys, and has been nominated for two Emmys and a Tony.
