Dune in*
why is zendaya and her half second screentime set as the thumbnail for this?? timothee is the lead of the movie
When I heard the inception's track the thought that came to my mind hans Zimmer knows the sound of time

Awful, just like your takes
“I’m Hans Zimmer and this is how _WE_ created the score for Dune”
In a few seconds he shows what kind of modesty and humility the mega-talent has. Gives credit to his staff and peers that helped him to develop this timeless and now iconic sound. Instant classic soundtrack
I noticed the same exact thing. Truly humbling.
I also noticed that. As humble as he is talented.
And uses Ghost Composers and plasters only his name in the credits ? Some modesty 😅
He is definitely not modest, I don't know what interview did you watch. I do think he is not only a talented composer but also has great social skills.
I picked up on that as well. Really a telling sign of someone. Seems like a great dude!
What that vocalist did 7:09 is called tillana in Indian ( Carnatic and Hindustani music) that is usually used when an Indian classical dance is performed. Pretty much every classical singer needs to learn this it’s various forms. :)
exacty 💯!!!
searching for this explanation, thank you so much.
There is an episode on Maejor Frequency that goes into depth of frequency of the music and how it’s also similar to rap/hip hop music. Worth a listen if you are interested in how frequencies play a role in how it makes you feel when listening to music, sounds etc.
Indian KatKat Thank You

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.
Perfectly explained
Hard agree
Only comparable to the soundtrack of the original "Ghost in the Shell" anime. It sounds futuristic and ancient both at once.
"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).
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!
Hans Zimmer just saying, “oh f*** yeah“ is probably the greatest approval you could ever get in music.
Calm down, stop idolizing mere humans kiddo. Relax.
@@snakejuce he's experienced and seemingly soft spoken so
If you were to rank musical approvals
Yes it would be ranked high.
But also yes, no need for that kind of approval.
@@snakejuce Hans Zimmer is more than a human, stop disrespecting him like that
@@snakejuce r/wooosh
@@snakejuce “kiddo” what a zinger. You got anything original tho?
I will never understand how people can say that Hans Zimmer’s music all sound the same. This man is one of the most versatile composers out there
They're picking up on his style and then complaining about it.
They are unobservant. Or just ignorant of what he can truly accomplish.
Imagine hearing Gladiator, The Amazing Spider-Man, Inception, Interstellar and Dune's OST, and say they sound the same.
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.
Same. What Hans did with Dune went far beyond over any of his previous works. Listening to his compositions while watching it on that big IMAX theater screen, I knew I was there in Arakkis
That banshee cry in the movie was . . . beyond thrilling. I can't imagine better timing/writing.
Heyaaaaaaa
The vocals that Loire does at 7:10 is called Tillana, an esstential element of the Indian classical music and classical dance.
Exactly. An essential for sure.
You just took the words out of me
This man has been making music for decades and still everything he does feels fresh. Truly a master at his craft.
When I hear a John Williams soundrack I think "That's John Williams allright". When I hear a soundtrack unlike any I've ever heard before I think "This must be Hans Zimmer".

@Lavender M I don't know man, feels like this Zimmerman guy knows what he doin
We talking about the same Hans Zimmer?
Exactly! He's always innovating
I love how he says “WE CREATED the score”. He knows that he’s team is amazing.
But they actually did cultural appropriation
@@Kathakathan11 ?
@@Kathakathan11 everyone appropriates culture every day. Whats your point?
He’s a humble man and he appreciates the artists around him. I love that.
@@Kathakathan11 well, it’d be kinda weird if he just did whatever you would see as "German music" for a film in the desert that mirrors Iraq (Arrakis) and their oil (the spice melange), if you "appropriate" culture without using things like hurtful stereotypes, I don’t see an issue with it
I love how Hans really pushed for the musicians to play something or sing something during the interview not only is it really cool to hear the difference between the audio in the movie and its raw counterpart but it showcases the talent of the person and they all seemed so passionate. Amazing to see and hear - much love for what they all do!
The most insane part to me is how excited he is. It really is like seeing a kid get excited about something they’ve made.
"This is how WE created....." the sign of a great person it to acknowledge the support others give to get you to those heights.
Agreed!!
That’s what I thought, too. Of cause he is the best known person there, but he knows how important everyone is.
I have noticed that immidiately! :)
I think great people are able to bring forth the best of the people around them. He is obviously open to be inspired and can bring it together in a cohesive whole. It is really magnificent.
best part is the title card says "created by" but he's like "nah, that's us"
It's amazing the amount of Respect that Hans has for all those musicians. He gives them the time to speak and showcase their art.
These are literally some of the best musicians in the world. would be crazy not to
Yes agree! It was totally amazing how much Hans Zimmer and his eclectic musicians put into this score. I never knew how much thought went into a movie score, such musically talented people all of them.
also how he always says we instead of i
I loved Hans Zimmer since many many years ago.
But when the title shows "How Hans Zimmer created the score for Dune" and yet Hans said how WE created....
My respect to his humbleness and appreciation towards his fellow musician just skyrocketted
I do hope all those musicians also show the same amount of respect (or even more) to him - considering that some are only known because of him. :)
Loire Cotler...i will just never forget that sound...like a cry thru the valley of death. Hans is amazing to give us this world texturised in hisses, sizzles, bumps...etc
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!"
Absolutely right. I used to do exactly the same until I officially became huge Hans Zimmer fan and since then I know what movies he is doing in advance.
My reaction literally when I was watching the movie
my words XD
I noticed that!!! When the music is just too sick in a movie, I look it up to check if it's Hans cause the dude elevates movies with his music. Gladiator one of my favorite movies.
true i was waching no time to die and in the end credits i saw his name and i was like ah ofcourse
How incredible that we are living in Hans Zimmer era.
@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. You're an npc
Hes overratted

Dang son
@@CHodgy explain how so i can laugh at you please
Such a genius. The rules become soft and flexible under his control. He does not act separately, as just a composer, he dives into the story and ads something more valuable than just the sound, he ads meaning to the story.
Amazing. I saw Dune 2 last night, and it's amazing. This is largely due to the incredible sound I experienced. It really transports you into another world.
I love when everybody involved in the movie is fully committed and genuinely loves what they’re doing.
I can only think of one other franchise that did this wich is why I have such high hopes for dune
if you can reach the echelons of LotR you pretty much made history

The deep voice Sardaukar Chant is very similar to the Tuvan throat singing, as well as Tibetan voice chanting. Also, the late, great celestial composer Constance Demby designed and made some of her own instruments - the Space Bass and Whale Sail perhaps being the most famous of them.
I did NOT expect that woman to do a perfect south indian konnakol like that!
Didn't expect you here!
I thought the same thing :)

He is a Genius. Period.
Never disappoints, Never fails.
And it is not just Music he composes, it is the complete SOUND! Crazy creative
He seems so supportive of the talented musicians around him.
Even at this stage of this career, he almost has this childlike excitement and curiosity. So eager to share his process and thoughts. Absolute genius.
Absolutely. You know these things bro.
Because he never stops learning and exploring new things
Absolute masterpiece. Takes the movie to another level
This score was loud and obnoxious with no melodies. It came off as some boring sound experiment.
@@kingrobert7246 not to me
@@kingrobert7246 Totally agree with you! "Forgettable" would be my word of choice...

@@kingrobert7246 Good thing you're not a composer, then.
I can’t tell you how moved I am by Hans Zimmers music. A few months ago I just learned that he’s pretty much scored all my favorite movies, which made me wonder if I really would have liked those movies as much had he not scored them. Music really makes a film memorable. Such a privilege to get to see his creative process behind the scenes.
7:00 I knew it! I could feel the sounds in Dune had a clear Indian influence! This is proof! Googled and just found out Lori Cotler is known for performing Konnakol which is a south indian carnatic music. Even without knowing that she practised this form... what she demonstrated was clearly a form of "taal/tala" which is common throughtout all Indian music! 😍👌 Amazing!
Tillana
@@upload2010yepp
Yeah and I am very sure every Indian watching this felt this. It is common in India but not common in western music, there it's mostly European music as said by Sir
They did the books justice. The sound, the visuals, the acting... I cannot wait for the next chapter
impossible not to admire Hans' way of percieving music and creative workspace.
ua-cam.com/video/PTc1YRqs160/v-deo.html
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's his absolute fearlessness to be all out weird, along with also mastering the conventional. Most artists are either one or the other, and therefore boring and predictable.
The way his brain works blows my mind. Any time I watch an interview of now he scores a movie I’m like 🤯
True
When he began with 'how WE created' and the way he talks about all the artists...wow
made me respect him even more!

@@DaanDaanDaanDaanDaan 'undercredits' in a comment under such a video is "funny"
Every time I am listening Hans talking about music I get lost in reality. I could listen to him for hours. He shares with us this love for music.
The score is what made the movie amazing. Part 1 and 2 of dune is elevated to levels of the unknown due to hans and denis working together
I love how he says "This is how 'we' created the score for DUNE" instead of 'i'

@@Jonathan-Pilkington Nothing went over his head
Cosnidering he barely writes any of the music attached to his name saying it any other way would be borderline fradulent
"Don't play it like a Flute, Play it as if it was the wind whistling through the desert Dunes."
One of the most important key elements in making a soundtrack is to understand the essence of the environment and surrounding atmosphere. And master Zimmer got it, got it very well.
He'd also read the book and loved it, so he had a very positive perspective, and knew what was required. Too many people, be they actors, or producers or screenplay writers have no connection or context with the source material, and it [usually] shows.
it impressed me that he asked him to play vowels made by the wind... and i didnt know what he meant with "vowels" on a flute... but then bro started playing and i knew: YES. THATS IT.
they are genius. so is the dune soundtrack
This is a fabulous snapshot in the creative process of making the music not only for Dune but for a lot of other films where Hans Zimmer wrote the music. I just want to say that you did an amazing job capturing the passion and the excitement of these great musicians. Thank you!
I absolutely love the concepts for each idea and the fact that they actually worked out the way they did. It added such a depth to the film. Amazing!
Hans Zimmer is really one of a kind
This is so stinkin' cool. I need like an entire series of just Hans and the musicians involved.

Bruh….
This interview with all these guys transported me back to my college days in music. So amazing. So much nostalgia.
Not I only got chills in a cinema hearing this but also now while watching the process of creating
This guy is crazy
When I watched Dune, I was blown away not by the script or acting of the movie, but of the cinematography and the soundtrack. How it just created this entirely ethereal world and it blew my mind. I watched it in a imax movie theater, and I get chills remembering the feeling of the sounds portraying what I was seeing almost to perfection.
Same. It truly was jaw-dropping. I cannot wait for part 2. :D
Unfortunately after watching iMax and non iMax version. If you get a chance to watch again, find on of those Extreme cinemas next time, it looks and feels so much better than iMax... i was surprised how it was not optimised well for iMax..
Yeah the acting was quite bad. Script amd screenplay was also not very good.

This is seriously going to go down as one of the absolute greatest soundtracks of all time. Star wars is more iconic, but this is unlike anything ive heard before
Just brilliant, there's a reason Hans and his team are behind so many memorable moments (and FEELINGS) in film
This was _INCREDIBLY_ fascinating, and Guthrie Govan is a monstrous player.
Casually mentions Guthrie as if he's not the best guitarist on the planet right now.
@@jokerman261 RIGHT?!
Agreed! I saw Guthrie playing with Hand at the O2 last night and he was the highlight of the show. He had an incredible solo on Superman.
That was a shocker honestly had no clue he played a part in this whole project
frr lol. I did a double take
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. UA-cam has several videos explaining how it works.
Thank you! I didn't know that. The first time I heard Konnakol was on Soul Circus by Victor Wooten, and I thought it was so cool.
Yes. Michael Manring (the bassist) is also a big fan of Konnakol, and uses it to help him divide rhythms.
slumdog millionaire has some solid konnakol, works really well to build tension
Yea
Don't be so Karnatic
Well. "Flute guy" is finally getting the respect he deserves.
Flute guy carries
@@coleharbak it's a hard carry. True 1v9
He truly deserve all the respect after that amazing performance of weight of life.

This. Was. FASCINATING.
I am enthralled.
“ I want your cello to sound like a Tibetan war horn, I don’t even know if there is a Tibetan war horn” the amount of imagination and uniqueness that’s required to make new sounds is unreal, truly a genius of a mind it takes!!

Mr. Hans Zimmer, everytime i think "this is so good, how will he top this?" you come out with something that is even more spectacular. Your composes are what makes the movies their in so great and memorable. The greatest composer of our time. you will be remembered along side the greats. And Loire cotler, you are absolutely amazing...
I will never get tired of experts at the top of their creative game explaining their passion for their art - ever.
Same here. Extraordinary.
Absolutely hilarious that the bagpipe is actually Guthrie Govan on guitar. He doesn't learn other instruments, he's just so good at guitar that he can use it to play other instruments.
I was also like "what?" When I heard him saying it😁
Dude can imitate not only guitar players, he can imitate a siren, harmonica, harp, even voice and cartoon sounds, of course he can do bagpipe.

(it's not that hard, just have to play the B, A, G, D, D# notes all over the fretboard and that's it, jk, can play only 1 note at a time, or maybe 2 when convenient, but that kind of music can even be 3 notes at a time often)
I’m so stoked for the part 2….seeing this video at this moment, listening to the origins of the sounds and the banshee cry gives me goosebumps. I know the movie will be legendary, I just know it.
I saw this video about 6 months ago for the first time. Now I'm watching it again and it never stops to amaze me how incredible music can be created with nothing, or by changing the paradigm of conventional instruments.
6:27 his excitement when realizing he will be performing with one of his favorite vocalists is awesome.
Lmao he was just like F*CK YEAH 🤟
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.
We can thank daft punk for tron
You unlocked my memory of tron and I remember LOVING that movie just like I LOVE dune.
Dude. You are so right with that similiar feel with Tron. I totally agree with you. It is a feel I really cant put a finger on...
So much talent crammed into one video. Awesome job to the entire team. A musical score for the ages.
The sound track for dune is absolutely unreal, i only got around to watching it a few days ago and was blown away, especially the saudaka throat singing chant, with the volume cranked that was a absolutely wonderful scene. Im excited for part 2 if anything for Zimmermans scores.
This man and the team around him are genuises. His music brings these movies to life for me.
The "highly unusual" singing that she does at 7 minutes in is called Konnakol, for anyone who is interested. Very advanced stuff.

Their passion and love for new forms of art makes me moved like the most beautiful nature sceneries. Thats the beauty of human, of artist, of human soul itself. I am listening and cant stop the tears. How beautiful someones mind can be.
Zimmer is as humble as he is talented. "We created" speaks volumes. Also the fact he makes so many instruments and help musicians play notes they never knew was possible also shows what an eccentric composer he is. I used to be in the "All Zimmer stuff sounds the same" but who would have known the sheer amount of ingenuity and skill it involved to play wind. haha
The music is written by interns and employees, saying "I" would be borderline fradulent
I mean, the team of writers and composers at his company definitely worked on this, as they do on anything Hans Zimmer is hired to compose for. So it is both humble and necessary for him to say "we".
He has a big team

The rhythmic percussion singing that Loire was doing is a traditional South Indian style called Konnakol (other parts of India do their variations too) If anyone wants to check it out!
Exactly!! It's a fairly common progression in India

I love Hans absolutely joy when those artists create something wild and new. I love it! Great video!
Working with such an extraordinary and talented person as Hans Zimmer must be one of a kind experience. I had no idea they made actual instruments to play all those sounds and so many people were involved , I thought it was all done on computer. Truly mesmerizing.
After seeing more and more of him during concerts and these interviews, where he always focus on what "We" did, "this fantastic artist did this, and this wonderful person does that." He always redirect the attention of the applause and praise onto others. He is truly a humble men.
That is exactly one part of the difference between people who are just being praised for being in a certain position and doing a certain thing very well and those who are actually praise worthy on a deeper, social level as well.
"I want your cello to sound like a Tibetan war horn"
"I don't even know if there is a Tibetan war horn but she got the image"
That is a brilliance of an open mind of a great composer!
And the skill of a player who can deliver!
What you hear is not what you see.
-Zimmer, H
It's because he hasn't had formal training. His admission applicarion for music school was turned down.
And Tina never disappoints!!! She delivered a spine tingling performance!
Reminds me of the movie Walk Hard when Dewey is conducting an orchestra high as a kite and says “can you make that sound like a velvet pancake?”
Art at its heart is the creativity of play and the courage to jump and try things out of the box, also collaboration. hans is master of this and can see joy that it brings him, he is legend.
Crazy to see all the faces behind those legendary bits of music we hear when we watch those films. Hans Zimmer has created a talented bunch of musicians which shape the landscape of sounds for centuries. I always said that Hans Zimmer will go down as an all time great composer like Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi and so on
He's a genius and he's different because he's not just the composer, he also does sound design
@xeon0100 lol i think composer is even a stretch, I will grant that he has a signature sound, one that I detest however. The second the score hits in Dune I knew it was a Zimmer score, and I had to try to ignore it to enjoy the movie.

Absolutely brilliant stuff by some extraordinary people being so creative this was the best thing ive seen in so long
I love how unconventional and open to ideas Hans Zimmer is. He knows he wants a particular sound, but knowing he's asking a lot, he's open to working within the confounds of the results that are produced.
Congrats, Hans Zimmer for academy award.
If you didn't win this I'd lost faith in Oscar.
I have lost faith many years ago n never gonna get it back lol
Well deserved Oscar.
I still think Hans should have got one for Interstellar.
He is a master of music and his score will live on in goat soundtracks of all time
if he didn't win it, I'd probably slap Chris Rock
@@braedonavants Zing! Too soon? Nah!
The chills bruhh........beauty, art, sounds that make you feel blessed to be alive.
he has an amazing relationship with the people he works with... its so awesome to see the amounf of mutual respect they have.
I love how often Hans Zimmer says "we". He always gives credit to the artists he works with and together they reach new heights and I love that about him. Also, I remember when Pedro Eustache was touring with Yanni. Listening to him play the duduk was so stirring. The way he plays is so very moving and an unforgettable experience.
He says we, because he hardly does the score. He gives ideas and then lets others go for it.
He never hid that he deleguates a lot of things, but to say he hardly does the score is quite an overstatement. It's like saying the director is hardly doing the movie, because there are so much people around him ...
He says “we” about musicians but not “we” about the other composers he uses. As someone who is in this industry, I look forward to the day that the composers behind these scores get the credit they deserve. Hans zimmer is a brand or corporation with a host of ghost writers. Gone are the days of John Williams where it’s quite literally him writing every note with an orchestrator.
So nice to see someone else make the connection to Yanni!
@@NathanEinhornMusic Director is a good comparison. For example, Peter Jackson didn't direct every scene of Lord of the Rings himself but no one has a problem with that
Dune isn't just a film. it's an experience. and as beautiful as it is, it would be nothing without the textures and life of Han's sounds.
I likened it to a spiritual experience
dune is book lol
Exactly!
@7:14 is Indian Carnatic Vocal rhythm --- I am mind blown, how you can meld all these elements into a music score (much respect)
they all seem like such a tight team, all so happy to be living their dreams. so inspiring.
Loire’ rhythmic fast-pace note singing is based on Indian folk music (Konnakol South Indian vocal percussion). So she’s not the only one whom can do it but she can do it well.
Initially, I thought it sounded more like traditional Scat/Jazz singing, but when she did the extended percussive runs, I heard the Indian influence.
Isn't music wonderful.
Sheila Chandra was another great performer of Konnakol who unfortunately lost her voice about a decade ago.
@@robblissism Such a shame. Her track in the LOTR - Two Towers is one of my favorites.
True except its not Tribal culture folk music , its Classical Carnatic .
@@MajesticDemonLord Her bio says she studied Scat/Jazz at Berklee College of music.
I was lucky enough to see him in Cologne a couple of days ago. The most emotional concert I've been to, goosebumps for 3 hours straight. What I loved most, was how highly he talked about all of the band members. Truly amazing what they can do!
Definitely need to attend one of his concerts once in my lifetime before I die.
Agreed, have seen him two times in Australia and both times were great! Everyone on stage is enjoying what they're doing and Hans treats and speaks about everyone up there so well!
Finally got to take my Dad to see him in London last Tuesday. We are both huge fans. I’ve been lucky enough to see John Williams too and these two are without doubt two of the best film composers ever. Both very different but can draw a picture in your imagination without you even having to see the images. Lol. An experience I will remember for the rest of my life.
I was there too!! Never ever have I experienced something like that
you never seize to amaze me with your musical talent, absolutely amazing Zimmer! Think i've watched Dune about 7 times now partially because of the music i keep coming back, absolutely love it.
I've listened to Hans Zimmers music since i was 14-15, but this is the first time ive seen a video of the guy. He seems like such an awesome dude and the same goes for the other people in the video
Amazing voice on that rythmic singing woman.. And that flutist, wow
