about

The music on this recording is designed to be listened to while taking Semuta.

From the Dune Wiki:

"With the elacca drug being the first narcotic, Semuta was the second narcotic derivative (by crystal extraction) from burned residue of the elacca wood (by crystal extraction) of Ecaz. The effect of Semuta was described as timeless, sustained ecstasy. It was elicited by certain atonal vibrations, referred to as Semuta Music.

After one ingested the drug, the music would then be played in the background. Known Semuta addicts included Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's Captain of the Guard Iakin Nefud, and Lichna, daughter of Otheym, one of Paul Atreides' Fedaykin."

Semuta can be hard to obtain in the 21st century, but it's possible, especially with the aid of melange, or spice. It is recommended that this music be used in conjunction with the drug for a full experience. Good headphones or speakers are also a must.
