It runs for 2 minutes and 49 seconds.
'''Dust and Echoes''' is the twenty-fifth track in ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.


The beginning of the piece is the same as [[The Maw(Music)|The Maw]].
==Overview==
The track opens with an eerie ambiance, quickly followed by reversed strings,{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} which build up to a climax. The eerie ambiance continued, soon joined by the male choir, singing the main melody ''[[The Maw (music)|The Maw]]''. The eerie ambiance briefly returns before strings take over, somberly playing a variation of the ''[[Halo Theme]]''.


This piece is remade in Halo 3's "[[Wake Me When You Need Me]]" track. Both are named after quotes from [[Cortana]] and [[John-117]] during the final cutscene from both games.
==Appearances==
The reversed strings plays in the opening cutscene of the level ''[[The Library]]'', when the [[activation index]] is shown in the [[Library]]. An extended version of the opening eerie ambiance plays in reverse during the mid-level cinematic of ''[[Keyes]]'', when [[John-117]] retrieves the [[Flood]]-assimilated [[Jacob Keyes|Captain]]'s [[neural implant]]s from the [[Proto-Gravemind]]. The track plays in full during the final cutscene of the level ''[[The Maw]]'', when John-117 escapes the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.
