This is the peak of human experience- to be an artistic legend, and work with another artistic legend, on your joint childhood dream: and WILDLY succeed. One can only smile and feel deep joy.

[@TheCelestialhealer]

❤🎉

[@explainMYworld]

Cannot agree more 🥰

[@qcrew2938]

I actually got chills reading this comment... well said

[@sethkodiak]

This is one of the most fun interviews I’ve heard in a long time. Allowing two masters in their craft to have fun answering questions, playing off each other, with the interviewer asking just enough to propel the conversation without inserting herself into the conversation and barely steering it… honestly I watched three masters at their crafts. Bravo

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Thank you so much Seth, really appreciate you saying this. I LOVED doing it and love making the podcast. Have a great day x

[@trigigiga]

Relax

[@user-lh5cf1kh3l]

The interviewer deserves credit for masterfully conducting this interview unlike many popular show hosts.

[@kimberlytomlinson9464]

Excellent interview. They're such besties.

[@LuisMorales-qk7tx]

I 100% agree! what amazing warmth created and sustained. I literally came on here to say exactly this! amazing interview

[@aryaesfandiari4573]

the most interesting thing said here I think is from Hans at 18:20, "the book relies on inner dialogue...which is totally un-cinematic." but what's interesting is that while movies are missing this, books also do not have music. Hans essentially using the soundtrack to provide the inner dialogue, guiding the audience through the emotion we're supposed to be feeling at any given time. brilliant way to transcend this missing inner dialogue aspect to the screen while maintaining the epicness and allowing the audience to feel like they have to understand/feel it without blatant being instructed.

[@vervor]

Yes this is a huge point! And it shows they care about the depth of the text!

[@R1ckDeckard]

Just two nerd buddies being happy about doing their favourite nerdy things together. God, I love those people

[@anna_pham]

I am so thankful to live in a world where these two legends exist.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Ditto! So grateful to interview these amazing creatives! x

[@AwkwardAuction]

That scene where Paul rides the worm for the first time, and his knee rises to full standing… chef’s kiss. It’s the perfect marriage of visuals and sound ❤

[@dstarling61]

The Cinematographer, Grieg Fraser, says that shot is his favorite and that it brings a tear to his eye, every time he sees it, because of Hans’ score. I hope Denis, Hans and Greig make many more movies together.

[@gohithsrivatsa4746]

I knew Nolan and Zimmer combination is always legendary but I didn't know Villeneuve and Zimmer combination would be equal to that. Just saw Dune 2 on March 3rd and I have to express my loads of respect and gratitude for them. One of the magnus opus of Hollywood released in recent years.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Pretty special isn’t it. Just wait for the 3rd Installment x

[@HyuLilium]

I think Hans with Nolan was great in interstellar, but his work with Denis makes me think it could be even greater than that.

[@shaikaftab1199]

Music in Dune 2 is extraordinary. I feel this is the best work from Hans better than Dune part 1 which he won an Oscar. Literally there was background score through out the whole movie in Dune Part 2.

[@bygmesterfinnegan6938]

Its superior in every way

[@michelraizenne4827]

I love to see a French Canadian and a German, being at the top of their game making and scoring a Giant Hollywood movie, I love the inclusiveness allowed here.

[@valshopaholic]

This partnership is going to be the new Spielberg/Williams partnership 🙌

[@Mauriciog623]

Denis is so adorable. A gift to the world.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

I LOVE chatting to him. He is wonderful x

[@akuhappy3246]

Looks like a great man​@@soundtrackingextrawithedith

[@ianwhelan-miller90]

I heard a quote that "true art requires vulnerability, you have to put something of your inner life into the piece" and all of Denis' films feel like they align with that. Hans' score in this film DEFINITELY feels like this.

[@alanparsonsfan]

@ianwhelan-miller90 That's how Joni Mitchell did everything.

[@Csabberfej]

They're on the top of their league, yet both of them are so humble. I constantly smiled during the interview.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

So glad you smiled throughout, so did we! Incredible to interview and to be be able to listen and hear them speak so excitedly ... We will have plenty more insights from this pair, watch this space! xx

[@Csabberfej]

@@soundtrackingextrawithedith Can't wait! Until then I'm doing round 3 of Dune Part 2 in IMAX.

[@Villafarrell]

Ive never seen such a fun, relaxed interview of movie heavyweights!! 👏

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

THANK YOU. I love my job and these two were like kids excited about their new birthday present. Appreciate you getting in touch x

[@mariap.2822]

Wow. What a great interview! Original, focused. Not bloated with useless trivia or questions that are asked and answered in other 30 interviews. Congratulations!

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Perfect

[@Arntor7]

the interviewer is just fantastic. Her ability to elaborate on what they're saying and probe deeper is excellent. So much better than the people who just ask memorized question after memorized question and barely pay attention to the answers given.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Thank you so so much. I love what I do and your comments mean a lot. Thank you x

[@KainedbutAble123]

The fact that they dropped in the electric guitar theme when Paul rides the worm as a tribute to Lynch's Dune. Brilliant!

[@marclaliberte4118]

Thank you for this awesome interview! For those wondering, we can hear Denis say : “tsé” a couple times. It’s french canadian slang for : “you know”

[@yvesblanchard-eb7bj]

haha! he says often 'tsé' and 'ben', while he's searching what to say in english from french...

[@N8R_Quizzie]

This is one of the best Dune pt 2 interviews out there fantastic job just being able to hear these two geniuses express their passion for this film.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

WOW. Thank you so much. I loved doing it. Really appreciate you getting in touch xxxxx

[@aeri_taylors-version]

they’re geeking and i absolutely love them for it 😭🫶

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

It was such a pleasure to see them so excited! thanks so much for watching!

[@arjunjayaprakash2670]

This movie is an epitome of visual, directional and musical genius. It's extremely rare for such epic movies to feel this intimate because the details get lost on the scope. Not with Denis. He is like a hawk who makes sure none of the details go missing. And man, Hans. When has he ever not delivered? This score will be one of the most talked about in the generations to come. It has been a privilege to watch cinema of this calibre. What a time to be alive!

[@pushthetempo2]

Its like they are sat in a restaurant retelling old stories ❤

[@stevenbrett2560]

Such a fantastic interview. Much credit to the interviewer. She did such a great job being a fan, and asking intelligent questions that allowed them to express their passion for this project. Well done to her, and to them as well obviously. 👏

[@Swindel67]

Edith is great as genuine as they come. She happens to be a long in the tooth & well established broadcaster/DJ for the BBC & more in the UK, this is def her wheelhouse.

[@cocobloo13]

What a delight to watch these two artist experts in their lane, share their spaces to collab, amazing

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

Masterpieces by Masters of their craft. Amazing 🙌

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Phenomenal isn’t it x

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Ah thanks. Help make that happen will you x x x x

[@ForReal_Lauren]

Incredible interview! I bought tickets to see part two before realizing my son hadn't seen part one - he fell asleep. 😅 So, on the way home from school and on to the theater he watched part one on my phone so he would be totally ready for part two. He loved them! 😍 He's 15, so I wasn't sure if he would be as excited as I was or my mom was, having grown up with Dune all our lives, but he was and loved it so much. We talked about it the whole way home and for a week after. Thanks, mom, for introducing it to me and making it such a special part of my life. And now I get to share it with my kids and make it a part of theirs. 🖤 And of course, thanks to Denis and Hans for bringing it back into the spotlight and creating such a masterpiece for countless more generations to fall in love with! Can't wait for Messiah and Children of Dune, after a longggg break for cast and crew, of course. 😅🖤🖤🖤

[@user-lh5cf1kh3l]

My favourite part of the interview is Denis going Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. Of course, of course, of course. 😂

[@scottishgeekguy]

The score for Dune 2 was EPIC.

[@scottishgeekguy]

Pre ordered the vinyl :)

[@fobo8027]

The trailer 3 soundtrack is one of the most poignant score I think I have ever heard for a movie. Truly brilliant.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

So good isn’t it

[@guitou]

They are like two boys having fun creating and experimenting stuff together, but yet came out with a master piece that shook the world..!! This interview is gold. The interviewer is brilliant, all her questions are short and on point ❤️❤️👍👍

[@MrMleclerc]

What a pleasure of having Denis bring back these sci-fi masterpieces to life. Blade Runner and Dune

[@MrJackmandew]

The music is just mind-blowing sometimes in this incredible movie

[@msjadhav5192]

It looks great because it's sounds great! Love that

[@jackiea8274]

I love how often they bring up the love theme, because it truly is beautiful and so fitting for the complicated nature of Paul and Chani’s story.

[@mosesrb]

This was one of the best interview I have ever seen, well done.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Thank you so very much xxxxx

[@ManSeekingMeaning]

Wonderful questions asked, and so respectfully. Two geniuses in their respective fields sitting across from you would have intimidated most people. Well done.

The Paul Chani music has opened something up in me since I saw the film for the first time on the 1st of March itself. And then again when I saw it day before yesterday. It’s just opened something up in me. Thank you for it.

[@theresawestnedge8136]

Agreed.....saw part 2 for the 1st time today and I cried at the ending song well into the end credits.

There's a reason why these two are the absolute best at what they do. Just listen to them talk about their craft and their colleagues. This is passion, this is is respect, this is love. Awesome interview!

This is what you get when the best of the best are fans of the source material. I think this was my favorite movie I have ever seen in a theatre. I have never left a theatre that awestruck before Dune 2.

[@jmir728]

These questions were fantastic and the conversation felt so natural. One of the coolest interviews to watch not just for the two titans of industry but for the way you carried it out. Wonderful.

[@aksimpson91]

This has got to be one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen. Massive congratulations Edith. Been a follower of yours since the glory days of Radio 1. To see you doing an interview with one of my biggest inspirations as far as music goes and perhaps, my second biggest love which is cinema. I applaud you!!!!

[@ponfed]

Seeing them together... and the obvious fondness they have for each other.. I feel we have a couple of decade of these two working together potentially.. and I'm here for it...

[@bertiebrown581]

It’s a creative, excited, inspiration-feedback loop between two master with mutual respect and admiration for eachother. Excellent work affording them the space to share their passion.

[@canyoncrows7764]

You caught these guys at a great time. Not sure if Mayo was first? Anyway, great natural conversation and great to see them so enthused. It’s full of gems

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

We think so too!

[@shaikaftab1199]

The best interview I have seen regarding Dune 2. Wonderful energy, good questions and very well prepared with great knowledge about the movie crew and the book. Kudos to you. Hans and Denis rocked it today with their wonderful stories.

[@josevelasco216]

I'd love to see Dune's editing timeline. I'm sure you can see the rhythm it shows on screen. What an AMAZING film. Villeneuve and all his crew are incredible artists and this part was just completely surprising. I still can't believe it.

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Thanks so much for your comments, we really appreciate it! Amazing opportunity to speak to our community. Glad that you loved Dune and our interview! x

[@allthiswasfields]

What a wonderful interview... probably the best film-maker with probably the best film-composer... together, loving life and loving their art. Amazingly inspiring.

[@sun.sneezer]

Hans popped off for these films, one of the most unique & deep scores I've heard

[@harshu7954]

I love how Hans just sighs in disbelief once before he starts to answer, like he’s prepping himself to translate experience into words😊

[@soundtrackingextrawithedith]

Did you love the film? I love how childlike they are about this collaboration

[@harshu7954]

@@soundtrackingextrawithedith True, and their childlike enthusiasm is infectious. I just watched it for the second time in IMAX yesterday. Appreciated it even more than the first viewing as I stopped caring about dialogue. It was just Denis’s visual poetry to Hans’s dreamy, amazing score. Pure bliss.

[@DutchKC9UOD]

Denis and Ham are the gift of our age! Like when the first BladeRunner came out! Looking forward to the third dune movie and the next thing these two come up with!

[@chilloff5948]

How does this not have more views? Interview was wonderful! Asking great questions, allowing them to chat amongst themselves, all the while letting them know how much of a fan you are! Honestly, I'd love to have a few drinks with these three lol. There is a scene where Paul is walking with the sandworm behind him, with a sort of haunting/epic soundtrack, really showcasing how he's kind of crossing over to that darker side, that just gives me chills. There are SO many scenes I could nerd out over. Chalomet and Butler KILLED their rolls. Absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

Many film scorers owe a huge debt of gratitude to Peter Gabriel, who in 1988 was the first to prominently use the Armenian Duduk for his soundtrack score to Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ.
