Max Richter, Hans Zimmer, Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir, Ang茅lica Negr贸n

Composer Max Richter talks to Hans Zimmer, Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir, and Ang茅lica N茅gron about how they convey emotion in their work, and why it's difficult to create something simple.

Previously broadcast on the 麻豆社 World Service, Music Life is a show in which four musicians from around the world share their experiences of a life in music.
This week, Max Richter (Peaky Blinders, Black Mirror, Ad Astra, Mary Queen of Scots) is hosting and asks the group how they got their starts in the music business, how they convey emotion through their work, and how it鈥檚 actually quite difficult to create something simple.

Answering those questions is a man who really needs no introduction, Mr Hans Zimmer. He鈥檚 scored over 100 films so far, putting his signature sound on everything from James Bond to the Dark Knight Trilogy via Thelma & Louise. There isn鈥檛 a film that isn鈥檛 vastly improved with Hans鈥� work behind it. Also with Max is Icelandic composer, cellist and vocalist Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir. She won the Academy Award for best score for the controversial film Joker, you can also hear her music-less score in the haunting TV series Chernobyl. And Puerto Rican composer and multi-instrumentalist Ang茅lica N茅gron completes the line up and writes music for chamber ensembles, orchestras, film, theatre, robotic instruments, and toys no less. This is a meeting of minds that鈥檚 not to be missed.
