[@doodledibob]

Wonderful recreation of the score!

[@DakotaArnoldMusic]

1:11 anyone know what library has that sub it sounds amazing.

[@bartoszstepkowski]

You mean in 0:53 ? Because I'm pretty sure that Albion One

[@DakotaArnoldMusic]

@@bartoszstepkowski At 1:11 theres a deep growl on D, I think might be braaam wish I knew which library it was from jaeger has some that sound fairly close.

[@bartoszstepkowski]

@@DakotaArnoldMusic I think you can get that by taking some braam with high pass filter on it and layer with some wide low bass synth patch

[@AenesidemusOZ]

Beautiful, Ashton. I love all of the Dune albums and you have done the music more than justice here.

[@SmileyFabian]

Brilliant!

[@ak-gi3eu]

Plz do kgf bgm album breakdown

[@davidpax]

Sounds better than the original, but it's still the same 3 notes over and over again. Quite lazy composing by Zimmer.

[@PinkCrocodile]

Yeahhhh, Hans Zimmer is not a guy who makes the most beautiful melody or the complex harmony. But you can't deny his creativity in this score. It sounds ethereal, ethnic, ancient, and futuristic.

[@umosay]

@@PinkCrocodile wut. Hans has made so many amazingly beautiful melodies o_O

[@PinkCrocodile]

@@umosay yes I agree with you but my point is HZ is a really creative composer and even if there's only 3 notes melody over and over again, he knows to make it beautiful

[@PinkCrocodile]

@@umosay my favorite melody from him is from Lion King by the way

I would argue that most modern media "composers" aren't actually composers at all. They fall more under the category of sound designers, experimentalists, and, dare I say, noodlers. If DAWs didn't exist, 95% of these people would be out of the business. DAWs allow people to "Frankenstein" things together as they play with their "digital Legos." There are things that become second nature to real musicians over the years that are simply foreign to the digital Lego people. For example, there is no possible way for someone who has just sat at a DAW most of their life to tell me that they are a better orchestrator than I am when I've been playing in numerous bands, orchestras, chamber ensembles, etc. since the 80s. So much has reached our subconscious, so we intuitively know what works, which combinations of instruments sound horrible in unison, general ranges of the instruments, and what actually works in the physical world. Some moron on KZbin who is confused thinking that she's "Joan Williams" wrote one hour's worth of tremolo parts for the strings while playing with her digital Legos. At the scoring stage, they told her, "Look, we can't do this anymore." Ignorance like that could potentially result in serious injuries that could have lasting effects on musicians. There is no substitute for real-life experience. How can you claim to be a champion swimmer when you have never jumped into a pool? It's simply not possible. People are using DAWs as a crutch to find out what might work rather than simply hearing it in advance. Since I have perfect pitch, I can actively tell myself, "Imagine the Principal Oboist playing a legato passage in this range, in this specific character, etc." I can also hear particular soloists in my mind as well or imagine the CSO's brass from their golden era under Reiner. Yet people like me are blocked from the business because many of you DAW people are like bulldozers. You don't know what you don't know, so you assume that you are armed with actual skills and then go and somehow get your foot in the door shamelessly working your connections. Unfortunately most directors and producers know nothing about music, so if you are a good talker or someone with strong industry connections since Uncle Bob supplies light bulbs to a major lighting director, it's only a matter of time before you will get in the door and start working, even if it's a bunch of really small projects at first. The other major thing that's missing is the actual performance aspect. Dear God, if it's a big budget production where the digital Legos are transformed into parts, guess what? The live players end up sounding like digital Legos! It's a complete waste of money. Might as well install MIDI ports into the players' heads! And I have to laugh when a media composer counters by saying, "Well we have CC data, dude." Well that's just adding fuel to the fire because if you have never played an instrument at a very high level, then what the hell do you know about proper phrasing? The phrasing needs to be INTEGRATED! You can't just use a variety of CC data as a substitute. I've seen the CC data of some "big" LA composers and laughed my butt off because they just drew in whatever just to add some variety (excuse me, but....AHAHAHAHAHA). No, it doesn't work like that. A lot of the phrasing is already implied based on the melodic lines and harmonic movement. You can't arbitrarily go to your MIDI editor and draw in swells (well you can but it will just sound bad). All that tells real musicians is this: "I don't know what the hell I'm doing." Yet many of you working media "composers" act larger than life. If you are at some industry event and John Williams comes over and asks what you do, you should say, "I'm a professional barista," because the gap is so wide that it's beyond ridiculous. This goes for you as well, Hans.

Ayako, Ashton is an incredible talent, and I’m proud to see the good work he continues to do. If you have been around working since the 80’s, I envy the great experiences you seem to have had, but it still hasn’t been long enough for you to learn the lessons of common decency, kindness, and class.

[@antzzors126]

Prime example of “sterotypical old man stuck in the past”, All that skill but never heard of you, while Hans zimmer is composing blockbuster movies.
