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,[1] which build up to a climax. The eerie ambiance continued, soon joined by the male choir, singing the main melody The Maw. The eerie ambiance briefly returns before strings take over, somberly playing a variation of the Halo Theme.
Appearances
An extended version of the opening eerie ambiance plays in level Keyes, during the cutscene where John-117 retrieves the Flood-assimilated Captain's neural implants from the Proto-Gravemind. The track plays in full during the final cutscene of the level The Maw, when John-117 escapes the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.
Arrangements
The track has been arranged into the following:
- Wake Me When You Need Me in the Halo 3: Original Soundtrack.
- Flotsam, Jetsam in the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack.
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."
