To me, Zimmer is concerned with sound-scaping, part of world building, rather than “just” emotional underscoring (although he does that too).

I think the article is directionally interesting but doesn’t take its topic far enough. What is the role of film music? Over-generalizing here, but the brief John Williams had for his collaborations with Spielberg seems quite different from what is happening between Hans Zimmer and Villeneuve.

Feels like we’ve waited a long time for this one - bravo!

Agreed. Or to start the day!
