Beautiful Dreamers (first draft)


A while back I was listening to a Radio4 (BBC) show called Beautiful Dreamers. I think it was the title that immediately caught my attention and also in the blurb it said that it was about music. Had a listen and it was AMAZING! I produced a small 58x42mm illustration for it (uni course work). It was about Artur Mistek's Musica Zoologika - the world's first animal orchestra, set against a backdrop of the CCCP. Definitely worth a listen. There was a bit where they explain this butterfly gong - a massive flock of butterflies are flown into a gong and with every collision produces a soft sound. The unconscious/dead bodies then fall onto another gong. Cruel - possibly, but the sound this little scene omitted must have been awesome!
