From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
Klaus Badelt was born in 1967 in Frankfurt. In Germany he first wrote music for films and advertising. In 1998 Hans Zimmer asked him to come and work at Media Ventures in Santa Monica. There he worked on scores such as The Thin Red Line (1998) and Gladiator (2000). In 2002 he wrote The Time Machine, K-19: The Widowmaker and Equilibrium under his own name. For The Time Machine he received the World Soundtrack Award for Discovery of the Year in 2003. He became best known for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). In the Filmmuziek Top 400 of NPO Klassiek, that music is listed under Zimmer and Badelt together. Later he wrote, among others, the Chinese film The Promise (2005) and Poseidon (2006).
