MUSIC BY VOLKER BERTELMANN
Milan Records is excited to announce the release of the Dune: Prophecy (Soundtrack from the HBO® Original Series) – Volume 1 with music by Academy Award-winning composer Volker Bertelmann (“Conclave”, “The Day of The Jackal”, “All Quiet on The Western Front”). The soundtrack is available now, on digital platforms with the series will air on HBO and be available to stream on MAX November 17 with new episodes every Sunday.
Volker Bertelmann notes, “I had so much fun working on this prolific show, with its diverse locations and layers of conspiracy. Composing music for a story like this involves big themes, intense emotions, and action-packed moments—all of which I loved bringing to life. It was an incredible experience.”
ABOUT DUNE: PROPHECY
From the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, DUNE: PROPHECY follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.
DUNE: PROPHECY is inspired by the novel SISTERHOOD OF DUNE, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
