"Henning's musical pedigree is second to none," says Turtles producer Sam Taylor, "The depth and range of his work crosses the musical divides between Stockhausen and Zappa, John Cage and Hans Zimmer. "

Lohner was one of the key figures in Hans Zimmer's LA-based musical hothouse Remote Control.

But the odds are stacked against her; just one in a thousand turtles survive the journey.
