For “Dune,” by contrast, Zimmer wanted to conjure sounds that nobody had ever heard before. For ‘Dune,’ Hans Zimmer worked with a far-flung ‘band’ of collaborators who sung, scraped metal, invented instruments and more for the score. Zimmer’s score is so prominent in “Dune” that at times the movie feels like an otherworldly equivalent of a “Planet Earth”-style nature spectacular. In the same way, Zimmer’s score is one that demands to be experienced via a good cinema sound system. “I write in surround sound — but it’s not just about the big sound and big screen,” Zimmer says.
