Music

Music for Dune was primarily composed by Stéphane Picq, with some contributions by Philip Ulrich.

Recording

Depending on the sound card selected to play music, track length will vary. For example, Wormsuit has its longest variation on AdLib with 6:32 minutes, while the AdLib Gold version lasts for 3:31 minutes, and finally the MT-32 version lasts for a very short 1:18 minute.

This soundtrack to Dune was recorded on an original AdLib Gold (1991) with the Surround Module, an original MT-32 (1988), and an AdLib (1987).
