Requiem for a Beast : a work for image, word and music

A beautiful creation by blending genre elements of the graphic novel with a CD recording. Set in Far North Queensland, a unique combination of words, illustrations, comic-like sequence, hand-written script, as well as typed-script. Ottley wrote, drew and composed a masterpiece that centralizes around the life of a young Australian stockman who attempts to reunite his family and his nation’s disgraceful history of violence against Aboriginal Australians. The book contains a CD of orchestral music, composed by Matt Ottley, and Bundjalung Aboriginal songs.
