BBC Radiophonic Workshop's 1983 Plan to Modernize Dante's Inferno with Music

In 1983, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop conceived a plan inspired by Dante's Inferno. The legendary sound effects unit aimed to create a modernized musical interpretation of the classic work.

The workshop's intention was for the listener to feel as though they were "alone, in hell" by the end of the program. This project coincided with the workshop's 25th anniversary. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
