The big closer for the soundtrack (I taught myself to play the Godin Multioud and thought a whole cd of desert stuff would be cool). Than I thought, what would Peter Gabriel do with the whole Dune thing???, and took inspiration from his "Last Temptation" Passion soundtrack using my oud compositions as a vehicle. It grew from there into "Musician's of Dune".

Qadis as-Salaf ~ the holy fathers of Fremen mythology

10. Qadis A - Salaf

A big Baliset set: featuring Soma Pipe, lots of synths and the Lord's prayer from a metal disk used in a Thomas Edison talking doll: you'll know it when you hear it as it was in fact the first commercial voice recording. The woman had to practically yell to get her voice to imprint on the metal disk used as the sound format in the doll. A commercial failure as kids were terrified of the sound. In the Dune context it is used in reference to the Orange Catholic Bible. OCB
