I'm very excited to announce the final guest for this first season of Composer Talk! 

This English composer is best known for his scores for animated films, including Antz, Chicken Run, Shrek (all three co-composed with Harry Gregson-Williams), Robots, Happy Feet, Happy Feet Two, three Ice Age sequels, Bolt, Rio, Rio 2, and the How to Train Your Dragon film series . His live action film scores for the Bourne films, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, United 93, Jumper, Green Zone and Solo: A Star Wars Story are widely studied by many composers around the world. His work on Happy Feet, Ferdinand and Solo: A Star Wars Story has earned him 3 Grammy nominations and he was also nominated for an Academy Award for How to Train Your Dragon. Formerly a member of Hans Zimmer's music studio, Remote Control Productions, he has collaborated frequently with other composers from the studio, including Harry Gregson-Williams and Zimmer himself.
