An amazing amount of work goes into making movie soundtracks, and Hans Zimmer seems to raise the bar even higher. I first started liking his work with the stuff he wrote for The Rain Main soundtrack, but the effort he seems to now put into his work now seems almost insane. Ex: He makes 100’s of his own “instruments” for every movie he scores.

I’m a huge fan of the new Dune movies, and this podcast made me realize that it’s partially because of the music in them. The specific focus on electric instruments (cellos!) & the human voice adds the depth & moodiness that the movies deserve.

So, you really have to listen to the pod, but also read the book and then go see the movies.
