From the Laced Records product page:
Recorded live at AIR Studios in London with The Chamber Orchestra of London, Haugen's soundtrack conjures a planetary sense of scale. Arcing strings shimmer and twist weightless in the air like heat rising from the desert floor, while resonant brass evokes dawn stretching out across the sands. The luscious acoustic instrumentation is enhanced and elevated by rippling electronics, capturing Dune's singular blend of science fiction and spiritual tradition. Soaring vocal performances from Clara Sorace, Eurielle and Emília Rovira Alegre centre this sense of the sacred, pushing the soundtrack to ecstatic emotional peaks.Arcline Store - Dune: Awakening Deluxe Double Vinyl Soundtrack
