    The astonishing thing about Hans Zimmer is that whenever you hear a score by him in a movie you're not like "ah, that's another score by Hans Zimmer" you are much more like "wow, that's an amazing score, let's look who did it. Ah of course, it's Hans Zimmer again. Who else!"

    The Dune score is so incredible. It's unlike any film music I've ever heard before. It's sounds extremely foreign, yet familiar and so very ancient, despite being in a sci-fi setting. The music perfectly encompasses Dune itself as a sci-fi story that has so many elements of medieval times and antiquity to it.

    • @UrsuxRex
      @UrsuxRex Year ago +12

      "yet familiar and so very ancient, despite being in a sci-fi setting"
      Exactly why IMO Villeneuve's adaptations are so great. They managed to capture that special kind of vibe the books offer : You're reading a science-fiction story and yet it feels unfathomably ancient. You're reading about space travel, genetics, drug-induced mutations, and yet the technology of that universe seems magical, almost sacred. It's the far future, it's about totally foreign people, and yet the story is profoundly familiar, as if it connects to humanity's essence itself.
      The score, the sound effects, even the beautiful shots... They managed to convey that perfectly.
      I rewatched Part Two yesterday and there are scenes that feels like paintings of religious scenes (such as the scene where the imperial ship enters Arrakis' atmosphere or the Harkonnen soldiers slowly floating toward the mountain).

    • @teekay9886
      @teekay9886 Year ago +5

      Yes! Brilliantly elaborated... That was my attempt at describing what I felt first time I was reading Dune. Herbert had a unique abillity to transcend, bend and blend time, space....everything. It was a majestic experience. Zimmer/Villeneuve did the absolute justice to the book atmosphere (and story consistency for that matter), and I can't wait to see part 2!

      Music that's unfamiliar to you tends to sound the same because you lack the framework to understand its nuances. Rock? All electric noise. Hip hop? All amelodic noise. EDM? All synthesized noise. Contemporary classical? All atonal noise. If you ever hear that some genre all sounds the same and isn't "real music," you're sure to find that the genre is doing something interesting that stretches the average person's understanding of the definition of music.

    In case anyone is wondering, the "rhythmic stuff" that Loire Cotler does at 07:06 is "Konnakol" - the traditional Indian drum language. More specifically within the Karnatic rhythmic system of South Indian music. RUclips has several videos explaining how it works.

    As an Indian i find it quite intriguing that Zimmer mentions this subconscious portrayal of familiar/unfamiliar places using soundtrack, I never actively noticed this previously but now that I think about it Aliens, Jurassic Park, Star Trek, 2001, etc. Movies feel alien to me cause all the musical queues are European/American in nature, while Dune feels very natural and real to me cause a lot of the musical cues are found in Indian classical music, I had never thought about it that way before but now it makes sense.

    Dune's sounds and music are so cool because they have that 'uncanny valley' like feeling where something is familiar, but a little bit off at the same time. It's familiar enough that you understand the emotional response that the music is trying to convey, but there's like a perpetual feeling of dread and uneasiness to it too because it is so different. Visually and audibly Dune is just absolutely mind blowing. The only movie that I ever remember feeling that way about was interestingly Tron: Legacy which is funny because the two styles are polar opposites, but both are amazing visually and have the perfect music and sounds to accompany those visuals.

    Surprised Mr Zimmer didn’t mention that the “rhythmic singing” is konnakol, the Southern Indian system of singing percussive syllables, a highly developed system, old as the hills. She doesn’t have the SI’s rich, warm timbre, though. Check out Southern Indian classical women performing this technique for a proper mind-blowing. A Indian pop version of konnakol was pushed hard in the ‘90s by Sheila Chandra.
