Transient & Eerie - Listening to the Winds of Arrakis at night - Soma Lyra-8 Quantum Ocean soundcape

This is a one-shot seance using the Soma Lyra-8 with the Soma Quantum Ocean plugged-in. You can see everything I do, there is no other artefact except my software masterchain in Ableton Live. You can listen to this while reading night scenes from Frank Herbert’s Dune novel. I strongly despise the 2021 version of the Dune movie, despite excellent sound department artwork and awesome music by Hans Zimmer. Why? Bad actors, and lame dialogues, the worst part of which is when the desert girl tells the main character “They think you’re the Mahdi, but you’re just a boy“ - a direct reference to the Islam’s Mahdi, who is in essence the Antechrist’s sidekick from Revelation XIII. I was already bored watching the movie in the theatre earlier this year, but when I heard that, I totally snapped out of it. While I know Dune’s Fremen people have vague references to Arabic people and that’s cool, a direct reference to Islamic Prophecy is an insult to anyone who keeps track on who the Mahdi really is when you read the Bible
