Synth manufacturer Expressive E has released a documentary taking us behind the scenes of Dune: Part Two with Hans Zimmer, giving viewers an insight into how Zimmer and his team composed the film's epic and futuristic score.
In the documentary, Zimmer explains that he wanted to avoid composing a traditional orchestral score for the Dune series, in order to place the film, a sci-fi based on Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune, in a different universe. "Why can't we believe that there will be new instruments, there will be new sonic textures?" Zimmer says. "Why can't we go and invent new things that don't remind us, in a peculiar way, of the past?"
