BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Dante Project

Archival material from 1983 reveals a plan by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to create a modern musical interpretation of Dante's Inferno. The legendary sound effects unit aimed for a chilling effect, intending that listeners would feel "alone, in hell" by the program's end. At the time of this project, the workshop was celebrating its 25th anniversary. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
