“Composing the soundtrack for Dune: Awakening has been an epic journey—one that challenged and inspired me in equal measure,” says Haugen. “I wanted the score to reflect the depth and mystery of the lore, as well as the haunting majesty of Arrakis. The music is rich, colourful, and emotionally resonant. The orchestra—beautifully recorded at AIR Studios—along with synthesizers and a wide array of unique and amazing soloists and instruments, formed the fabric of a score full of contrasts: it’s both intimate and vast, dreamlike and raw. To contribute to the legacy of Dune in this way has been a true adventure—an experience I will always treasure.”
