Why is Dune’s Score Like That? A YouTube Analysis of Hans Zimmer’s Music

YouTuber Thomas Flight has posted a fascinatingly detailed analysis of Hans Zimmer’s score for DUNE, examining the score and how the composer uses sound and melody in the soundtrack to develop themes and conflict in the film.

“The first thing that greets you in this movie, before you even see the studio logos, is sound,” Flight explains in his introduction. “I think both the score and the sound design play a huge role in making Denis Villeneuve’s new adaptation of DUNE the experience that it is.”
