Jóhann Jóhannsson, who had worked with Villeneuve on Prisoners, Sicario and Arrival, was initially announced as composer for the film . However, Villeneuve and Jóhannsson decided to end the collaboration because Villeneuve considered the film "needed something different, and I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis's soundtrack". New composers Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch joined in July 2017 . In September, Jóhannsson's agent confirmed that he was no longer involved and that he was contractually forbidden from commenting on the situation . </P> <P> According to Epic Records, Zimmer and Wallfisch sought to continue the legacy of the original Blade Runner score by incorporating the analog synthesizer Yamaha CS - 80 . Zimmer has said of the soundtrack: "First of all, I realized that Denis (Villeneuve) is a director who has a vision; he has a voice . Remember, I've done a lot of movies with Ridley Scott . So, it was important that this was an autonomous piece of work . Let's just be honest . Ridley is a hard act to follow--as is Vangelis . While Ben (Wallfisch) was four - years - old, I had actually experienced all of this . We watched and literally, as we stopped watching, we decided on the palette . We decided this wasn't going to be an orchestral thing . The story spoke to us ." </P>
