About Dune:
A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence-a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential-only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

"Right out of the Muadib Ji'had!" - ❤️

[@MrThatguyuknow]

I don't know how you capture the essence of a drug induced spiritual awakening in the dessert with overtones of war and giant worms in a song, but this some how does.

[@pedropadilha7587]

This soundtrack rightly evokes the feeling of Paul’s terrible purpose and the awakening of Kwisatz Haderach.

[@Super_Przemek_XD]

You sure hes a Kwisatz Haderach 😉 ?

[@rickymcgee7237]

@@Super_Przemek_XD yes

[@Violn95]

@Piotr Zajac Why do you feel that way? Everyone's entitled to their opinion and I'm curious about yours

[@Quantium]

That was a lie.

[@punkyllama420]

This is it. This is the psychedelic essence of Dune, in musical form.

[@Lurch685]

Hans Zimmer’s magnum opus. I don’t see how it can get better than this besides giving us more of it.

[@FUTURESTRADINGUNI]

frr

[@Dannyhr]

This is only the beginning

[@amal-ti2zz]

Agreed- I thought he peaked around Gladiator, but I was way off

[@FUTURESTRADINGUNI]

The sketchbook album is brilliant. It shows Hans' progression from sketch to soundtrack. I cannot describe how much I love and am obsessed with this mesh of the Dune universe all in one track. It kinda goes like Ripples in the Sand, Dreams of Chani, extra stuff that NEEDS to be in part II, Burning Palms, more new stuff, night on Arrakis / Blood for Blood, then Burning Palms again with cool synthesized drum and bene gesserit chanting motifs

[@lorax249]

8:08 chills every single time

[@Unbid581]

This is an eargasm all the way through

[@CodaMission]

Those horns lend the tone a terrifying atmosphere. They feel like the horns that announce the coming of apocalypse.

[@AnnatarCarvour]

" That's the future that is coming I can see it !!!!! "

[@pigeons1069]

He made a soundtrack for the novel first and foremost, then made it into a soundtrack for the movie. At least thats how it feels. I will be rereading Dune and Dune Messiah having found this, I feel this will definitely enhance it.

[@Mythonaut]

3:50 as a synthesist, it’s not often I get to hear my instrument used to its full potential. This is definitely that in the same way that vangelis’s original blade runner score is.

[@ishimura556]

It made every hair on my body stand up, and my flesh crawl!

[@thesilverhand362]

I've always thought that Vangelis would've been an excellent choice as a composer for a Dune movie. This is probably the closest we'll get to that. Absolutely love that part with the synths

[@danielplainview2584]

Any idea what the sound design for this patch was like? It sounds like some sort of flanged string sound with a bit of glide, delay and reverb.

[@ironikaika]

It’s Tina Guo on cello doubling a Guthrie Govan guitar part. 😜

[@ivanbrown1924]

Totally dude

[@samuelthrift7282]

8:09 Every time I hear the percussion in the background, I imagine countless Fremen warriors synchronizing with it and chanting, "MUAD'DIB! MUAD'DIB! MUAD'DIB! MUAD'DIB!" Edit: Now that I've seen Part Two, I can definitely pick up on some similarities to the Harkonnen percussive motif there too. Which is fitting

[@Rauruatreides]

I could see it as the final piece at the end of part 2, showing just what Paul has done, not bringing peace and tranquility (like the 1984 movie would say), but a violent holy war that leads to the sterilization of 90 planets and the extermination of 40 cultures

[@skyguylmao]

@@Rauruatreideswhat do you think now

[@eldars10]

And you get it.

[@Silentwraith365]

You were so close to correct. The same music played in Paul’s speech as they chanted, “LISAN AL GAIB”

[@btroleplay5275]

Lisan Al Gaib! Lisan Al Gaib!

[@nabaratay8901]

!!! ... BREATHTAKING ... i can´t describe the thousands of emotions flowing through my body, soul and mind ... It´s written for eternity .

[@bad_narek1419]

At 08:10 it gets epic and terrifying at the same time, a vision of what's to come for Kwisatz Haderach and the Golden Path?

[@theonyn90]

That is the "terrible, terrible purpose"

[@VishnuZutaten]

Isnt shortening of the way just about folding space? The scene where they fly up from Caladan, then see the godly enormity of Heighliner, then fly into and expect to see the miracle and mystery of folding, then finally experience the act defying logic and nature and found themselves and the onrmous fleet above the Arrakis.

[@VishnuZutaten]

NVM googled the term, got Kwisatz Haderach :)

[@didymos9010]

@@VishnuZutaten it refers to the Kwisatz Haderach's ability to see multiple futures. I think this track will be part of the scene where Paul overdoses on Spice Melange and gains that power.

[@Amitlu]

@@didymos9010 SPOILERS .. .. Though this is a sketchbook track and doesnt technically play in the movie. This particular motif does come out in full force when a certain vision of Paul becomes true.

[@user-lp7tx1fe6t]

Hans did his homework. Kwisatch Haderach means "the shortening of the way" in Hebrew

[@tgiacin435]

Do you bring the shortening of the way

[@smnoy23]

Technically the Hebrew phrase is "Kefitzat Haderech", but that's a minor quibble. The inspiration is clear.

[@siyanoq]

It was actually Frank Herbert who did his homework. Dune called Paul kwisatz haderach, Mahdi, lisan al gaib, and messiah.

[@kaze8498]

@@tgiacin435 This one read the book

[@jyothis.n629]

I hope it takes place among the godly movies.

[@GreyEagle_35]

[@sonofbigboss]

8:04 "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"....

[@timbuktu777]

3:56 onwards is the sound and feeling of Dune Messiah to me.

[@thesilverhand362]

I don't know why, but I when I first heard this I got excited thinking that at 3:50 it would suddenly break into the Dune 1984 main theme with the synths. I'm still hoping that somewhere in Zimmer's score there is a small nod to Toto's score

[@TheBrandonBanks]

I am also hoping for that nod to Toto's score, it was amazing then and still stands up.

[@Amitlu]

@@TheBrandonBanks There is, sorta.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

There are absolutely nods to Toto's score imo. 6:16 has some of the toto score vibes imo.

[@Forerunner2]

Holy War has a nod to the old dune Theme, almost right at the start of the song

Dune is considered the father of science fiction and the best science fiction book at the same time . It's better if u read the book before the movie .

[@loganemmert1392]

Got a feeling this will play over the highliner space folding scene.

[@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump]

Nope

[@Biggiiful]

@@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump well, he was kinda right actually. The part around 6:50 to 7:30ish is the sketchbook version of what would become "Herald of the Change" on the official OST. That's the first time we see the highliner in the film.

[@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump]

@@Biggiiful Yeah, but there is no space folding.

[@Biggiiful]

@@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump well, not a visual scene of the process in detail, but we do see the highliner that we know is folding space. And later on, we see the benne gesseret ship "pass through" the highliner, but we are kinda seeing space fold through the highliner. It's not like the old film, and it's not just a portal like the new film makes it look like on first glance. What we are seeing is a hard to explain interpretation of the highliner folding space. We are seeing it from an outside perspective on the one end, so we see the planet the benne gesseret left on the other side. To the audience this looks instant, but what we are seeing is the highliner having folded space. Depends on how technical you want to get. Herald of the Change does play when showing is the highliner which would have only just finished folding space, but a different musical piece plays (the benne gesseret score) when we see a little more of the space folding process. But, you are kinda right that we didn't have a scene dedicated to space folding in detail.

[@lauraandrearosales5274]
