Dune (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the second soundtrack album for the film. Zimmer was inspired to look at the film's music "in a different way", "to take the audience on a journey beyond the movie", and felt it "must be available via an immersive technology that utilizes spatial audio" in order "to fully showcase" the "unique sounds" of the soundtrack. The album was his first to "wholeheartedly embrace" Dolby Atmos Music listening technology. According to the composer, the sound "wraps itself around you in a way that I haven't ever experienced before". The eighth track, "Ripples in the Sand", was the second of two digital singles—released to streaming platforms on July 22—that preceded the album's drop. ClassicFM described the track as having "a pacy, foreboding start" before reintroducing the "distinct vocals" heard previously on "Paul's Dream". The complete score was digitally released on September 17, 2021. Vocals were produced by Loire Cotler. The score was also nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
