WaterTower Music has today released The Art and Soul of DUNE (Companion Book Music), the last of three separate album releases of music from and in celebration of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ DUNE, the highly-anticipated adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal bestselling book from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Denis Villeneuve (ARRIVAL, BLADE RUNNER 2049). All three albums feature the music of acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer (INTERSTELLAR, INCEPTION, GLADIATOR, DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY). The film began opening in select markets around the world beginning September 15, and opens today, October 22, in the U.S. on October 22 in theaters and on HBO Max.

The album was curated by Zimmer and offers uniquely crafted versions of the film’s main themes to accompany the reader on their journey through this visually dazzling hardcover book, which was written by the film’s executive producer Tanya Lapointe.
