Volker Bertelmann

With the Baftas this weekend and the Oscars imminent, Matthew Sweet meets Volker Bertelmann, who has been nominated in the best score category for All Quiet On The Western Front.

With the Baftas this weekend and the Oscars imminent, Matthew Sweet meets the German composer/pianist Volker Bertelmann (aka "Hauschka"), the nominated composer in the Best Score category for both the Baftas and the Oscars this year, for the remake of the classic First World War inspired 'All Quiet On The Western Front'. Matthew talks to Volker about his fascination with the prepared piano and about working with "found sound" in his scores. He discusses his long-time collaboration with composer Dustin O'Halloran and his scores for 'Lion', 'Adrift', 'The Old Guard', 'Summerland', 'Ammonite', 'Against The Ice', 'Stowaway', 'War Sailor' and 'All Quiet On The Western Front'.
