The hirundu & Mysti Cinsect (collectively The Heavy Unknown) have got together and composed a contemporary retelling of the millennia-old Sumerian epic poem, The Epic of Gilgamesh.

The proposed stage show would take the form of a "live concept album" - with a live band telling the story in 12 sections, each one corresponding to the 12 stone tablets on which the Epic was originally discovered. 

In the likely event that the full-scale stage production is not do-able in the realistic future, the fallback (still ambitious) intent is a film/video, whether partially or entirely animated, or live action of some form.

If you like what you hear or want to know more then by all means get in touch!

Hacking sound and music to explore and express something of the human condition and the unknown.

All tracks can be downloaded for free from Soundcloud (... More -> Download file) as .wav files in their original quality.
