Composer Hans Zimmer: The Music of ‘Dune’

Hans Zimmer is one of the truly unique composers of our generation, displaying a range in style that reaches every corner of the globe. For Dune, the ten-time Academy Award nominee (winner in 1994 for The Lion King), spent his time during Covid having new instruments built in Berlin and San Francisco, and recording voices from Australia to Europe—all to bring the spiritual rhythms and sense of world-building to complete director Denis Villeneuve’s vision.
