Well, some may've been substantially younger in age. Clausen is 78, his replacement(s) work for Hans Zimmer's company Bleeding Fingers Music--Zimmer himself is 61 but his staffers are probably substantially younger. And I assume that Zimmer has not worked on a particular "Simpsons" episode. Some of Bleeding Fingers' other credits include the BBC's "Planet Earth 2" (which Zimmer did work on), "Survivor" and currently on Sunday nights after "The Simpsons," ABC's "$100,000 Pyramid," where Bleeding Fingers did a new arrangement of Bob Cobert's rewrite of the original "Pyramid" theme, Ken Allin's stock library piece "Tuning Up" (so Bob Stewart could save on licensing the music).
