does anyone know of it? It is not Toto, but actually the result of a contest by, if memory serves me correct, the movie studio. I was quite young when Dune was released to the theaters, 13 to be exact, so I do not remember the full story. I remember my father, a teacher and big sci-fi fan at the time, telling me that a student of his had won a contest to write a soundtrack for a movie. The score the student wrote was supposedly brilliant, and earned him $ and the grand prize, but Lynch, I suppose, ultimately decided not to use it. Does anyone remember or know of this?

my interest is simply of curiousity - I'd love to hear the score, and be interested to find out if this person went on to continue with writing music...
