+'''Dust and Echoes''' is the twenty-fifth track in ''[[Halo: Original Soundtrack]]''.
+==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]]''.
 ==Appearances==
-It plays during the end of [[The Maw]], in the ending cutscene.
+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}}.
-==Overview==
+==Arrangements==
-This track gives the player the feeling of being alone; that they lost everything and that the victory came at a terrible cost, which it did. Rather then infect the universe with the [[Flood]] or activate [[Halo]], which would destroy all intelligent life in the galaxy, so the loss of this battle had worse consequences.
+The track has been arranged into the following:
+*''[[Wake Me When You Need Me]]'' in ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''.
+*''[[Flotsam, Jetsam]]'', ''[[Captain, My Captain]]'', and ''[[Exfiltration]]'' in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack]]''.
-It runs for 2 minutes and 49 seconds.
+==Production notes==
+The name is derived from [[Cortana]]'s quote upon scanning the vicinity of the destroyed [[Installation 04]], "Just... dust and echoes. We're all that's left."
-==Other Appearances==
+==Sources==
-*The middle section of the piece is the same as [[The Maw (Music)|The Maw]].
+{{Ref/Sources}}
-*The intro was remade as part of the [[Sacred Icon Suite]] on the ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]''.
-*The third part of this piece is remade in the second half of ''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.
-*The first part is played in reverse on the level [[Keyes]] during the cutscene where [[John-117]] retrieves the Flood-assimilated Captain's neural implants.
