Hans Zimmer’s Dune

I can hear his signature. A lot of Gladiator and even Batman vibes in it.

I think you're hearing the wrong signatures. I hear his signature #4th to a 5th melodic line, that's what's leading everything else.

I'm not talking about music per se in this case, I'm talking more about what I feel, I also feel Black Hawk Down for example. It is probably not intentional but it is part of his inner musical soul like it is for every other composer in the world. I'm listening to this music while I'm working so I didn't have time for a precise analysis of the tracks.
 
I really like and respect Zimmer in general, but I also really dislike this post-Nolan, drone'y electro Zimmer. I'm pretty sure the score will work ok in this very generic looking, washed out from colors film. But from Zimmer + Dune I expected something much, much bigger or interesting.

Will probably revisit Toto score soon ;)
 
Paul's Dream: An interesting arrangement and as always this so great sounding low end, also the use of the reverb. What I don't like so much is the sound of the distorted guitar and am I right when I think I can hear (for my taste too much) distortion also used for other instruments?

GOSH, what I would do to have a Dolby Atmos system right now...

Haha for sure. It still sounds great on my stereo system. Love the heavy guitars and power chords. I was actually wondering when he would prominently use heavy guitars on a full score. Nice.

I think it will match what's on screen perfectly, HZ and Denis Villeneuve can be trusted.

Ok let's take another coffee and listen to this once again :grin:

He used to be a Synth-man in the past, he did synthy scores even before Nolan, I also prefer the orchestra but I like this kind of scores too.

I didn't like so much Dunkirk OST because without the movie is pretty empty.

Hans Zimmer is not a classic composer like John Williams (for example) it is someone who tries to play the pictures he sees. So maybe some OSTs are not so good to be listened by themself but maybe they are great listened while you are watching the movie. The important thing is that the OST has to be on point.

I personally like many different composers and I like when some musician is able to make an image to sound right.

I don't know if the movie will be great and I don't know if this music will fit but I know that HZ in the past did often a very good job and he is an added value in a movie for me.
I'm never a fan of a man (or a woman), I'm always an extimator of the work they did when I like it.
 
I agree: unless you hear this in the context of the movie you can't judge. Zimmer is a master in weaving and fusing his music with the creative vision of a film. His scores never want to stand apart / above and I have yet to hear anything from him that would not be 100% in unison with a film's story telling.
 
Amazing... sounds like something I haven't heard before! Despite being "cliche" on a shallow surface level observation.

Also love the theme!

I'm curious who mixed this... the mix sounds like from a different world. Can't find any mixer credits in the music department.

Has to be Alan Meyerson?
 
well. i quite enjoyed what i heard. and am a hard core Frank Herbert Dune fan. It sounds more modern than the original Toto/Brian Eno soundtrack form the 80s and seems in line with the world of Dune.. should be interesting to hear it in context.
