They went out into a desert to record this. I don't think they used these sounds in the movie, but they were heavily inspired by the real world phenomenon.
They also buried mics in the sand, to record what that would sound like.
- bmitc 5y agoYes, I read the article. They recorded sounds they were making, such as walking, stepping on sand with Rice Krispies, and thumping the ground, but as far as I can tell, they did not record the sand singing, drumming, or droning on its own naturally, which it does. Herbert was fascinated by desert and dune ecology. He would have loved this if he knew about it (maybe he did).
