From the Laced Records product page:
The hit survival game has garnered critical praise for its incredibly faithful and detailed realisation of the Dune universe—from its sprawling vistas to deep lore and political intrigue. The music is integral in recreating the atmosphere of Arrakis, conjuring not only its striking landscapes but the human experience of life on the planet.

Recorded live at AIR Studios in London with The Chamber Orchestra of London, Haugen's soundtrack conjures a planetary sense of scale. Arcing strings shimmer and twist weightless in the air like heat rising from the desert floor, while resonant brass evokes dawn stretching out across the sands. The luscious acoustic instrumentation is enhanced and elevated by rippling electronics, capturing Dune's singular blend of science fiction and spiritual tradition. Soaring vocal performances from Clara Sorace, Eurielle and Emília Rovira Alegre centre this sense of the sacred, pushing the soundtrack to ecstatic emotional peaks.
