Director Denis Villeneuve\u2019s film of Frank Herbert\u2019s bestselling dystopian sci-fi fantasy has won itself a legion of fans thanks to its epic beauty. The stunning visuals are accompanied by a BAFTA-winning original score by composer Hans Zimmer, and it\u2019s a match made in the stars.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> \u00a0<\/p>\n Dune<\/em> is the perfect canvas for Hans Zimmer, who is no stranger to scoring high-quality science fiction films and is one of the best film composers ever<\/a><\/strong>. Interstellar<\/em> is one of the best Hans Zimmer<\/a><\/strong> film scores, showcasing the composer\u2019s prowess when it comes to evocative and atmospheric music. It remains a crying shame that he didn\u2019t win an Oscar<\/a><\/strong> for his efforts, but there\u2019s hope for Dune<\/em>, which has also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score this year<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The people and planet of Arrakis are painted with stark and beautiful music, not dissimilar to some of Zimmer\u2019s work in Gladiator<\/em> \u2013 notable here is the use of the Duduk (a double-reeded Armenian wind instrument), which featured heavily in that 2000 \u2018sword and sandals\u2019 epic. Elsewhere, there\u2019s a more industrial quality, featuring layer upon layer of sounds and textures that feel ultra-contemporary. The guitar motif employed isn\u2019t too far away from Zimmer\u2019s powerhouse sound for the recent Wonder Woman<\/em> sequel.<\/p>\nIs Dune<\/em> a better score than Interstellar<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
