The fourteen tracks that comprise the Amaluna soundtrack were all composed by Guy Dubuc and Mark Lassard (aka BOB & BILL) and were recorded in May and the summer months of 2012. The live show features an all woman band performing some of the edgiest music to come out of the Cirque du Soleil camp to date.
