Blade Runner 2049 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2017 science-fiction film Blade Runner 2049, directed by Denis Villeneuve. The original score was composed by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch, known for their work on Dunkirk, Interstellar, It and Shazam!. The music expands on Vangelis’ legacy from the original film, combining analog synthesizers with orchestral textures to create a dense, futuristic atmosphere.
The soundtrack album was released on October 5, 2017 via Epic Records / Sony Music. It contains 24 original score tracks, runs approximately 1 hour 47 minutes, and is available on major platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. No separate expanded score album was issued at release.
Musically, the score emphasizes low-frequency synth drones, minimalist motifs and large-scale crescendos, supporting the film’s themes of identity, memory and isolation. Zimmer and Wallfisch deliberately avoided melodic excess, focusing instead on texture, scale and sonic pressure to mirror the film’s bleak world.
The film also features a small number of licensed songs (including tracks by Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley) that are not included on the score album.
