The Great Houses
of Dune
This project began as a personal homage to the world of Frank Herbert’s Dune. I've long been inspired by the book and by Lynch’s adaptation, and set out to create a series of illustrations and concept art exploring my own vision for each of the great Houses in the Landsraad.

“ Federico invited me to compose an original piece that would reflect the brutal elegance and oppressive force of House Harkonnen. Drawing from a sonic palette of 70s analog synths, doom-laden guitar riffs, and ritualistic vocal elements, we set out to build a soundscape that felt both ancient and menacing.
In the studio, we explored a range of textures—layering distorted bass, guitars, and synthetic drones to channel the clan’s industrial brutality. The result was a driving, guttural riff that became the backbone of the track. To complement this, Federico contributed haunting chant-like vocals that added a raw, ceremonial depth.
Technically, we relied heavily on amp simulations and analog emulations to sculpt a dense, cinematic tone. The process was a dialogue between sound design and storytelling—aiming to translate the psychological weight of the Harkonnens into music.”
