Dune 2022

La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures proudly present the world premiere release of acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer’s (DUNE, NO TIME TO DIE, THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) original motion picture score to the 2005 feature film dramatic comedy THE WEATHER MAN, starring Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine and Hope Davis, and directed by Gore Verbinski. Once again collaborating with director Gore Verbinski, composer Hans Zimmer fashions a wonderfully soulful and thoughtful score, expertly mixing pathos and hope, and heart and melancholy – the perfect complement to this unique and compelling film and its titular character’s tale of mid-life crisis and redemption. Jazz and reggae flavors infuse this lively and reflective musical work, lending a “jam” flourish to the overall score. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this CD presentation marks the score’s premiere release on any format. The exclusive liner notes by film music journalist Kaya Savas features a new interview with Hans Zimmer, Gore Verbinski, co-composer James S. Levine, as well as music team members Clay Duncan, Heitor Pereira and Ryeland Allison. The sharp art direction is by Goldwasser.

A lone adventurer answers a strange calling, beckoning him to a forgotten hollow. He is transported to a primordial forest where he traverses different planes of existence, slipping through tears in the surrounding worlds. The path starts shrouded in mysteries, leading from shadow to sun, before plunging back into the void.

Pour ce premier album sous son nom, Clélya Abraham nous invite à boire à La Source. Là où les émotions naissent, là où l'amour se partage, là d'où jaillit sa musique. Cet album affirme la prodigieuse aisance d'une pianiste et d'une compositrice inspirée. À la rigueur d'écriture du monde classique, à la virtuosité de l'improvisation jazz et à la sincérité des traditions créoles elle ajoute une inventivité naturelle et inédite. On y plonge comme dans un bain de Jouvence. Elle y réunit une équipe d'amis virtuoses : le contrebassiste Samuel F'hima, le guitariste Antonin Fresson et le batteur Tilo Bertholo.

This album, featuring several of the UK’s most accomplished performers, explores the Macedonian composer’s search for ‘chroma’ (colour) in both harmonic and formal structures, traditional and experimental sonorities and in a need for deeply dedicated performances of physical directness.

One of the most prolific and influential film composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Germany's Hans Zimmer began his music career in London, producing and playing synths for a variety of new wave and punk bands in the early 1980s.
