pretty cool i love the backround music

@vinx77 His name is bigger than the others and in capitals, so I guesstimated that Gordon is the composer as such and the other three "Hautboys" are instrumentalists or synth programmers (I wrote both the IMDb entry and Wikipedia page: anything at either of those is just what I've been able to glean from the credits, which are amusingly thematic but difficult to work out what people actually did from).

Hark! A hit, a very palpable hit.

went to an animation workshop ran by Barry Purves last week and saw this. Sheer awesomeness.

I've seen Barry Purves himself last week, he was telling us at my uni about his work. His animations are brill, wish he could have stayed longer.

@OwlEyesOO According to Wikipedia: "music by Stuart Gordon of The Korgis, John Sheaff and Will Gregory of Goldfrapp".

IMDB only mentions Stuart Gordon.

@jmarkar There is a DVD called 'His Intimate Lives' but I think its only available from Amazon France right now.

Rigoletto can be bought with the rest of the Opera Vox animations (though its definately the best of the bunch :P)

[jmarkar]

Please, Barry... are these (Next, Screenplay, Rigoletto, etc) available in good DVD prints? I feel so privileged to have met your "Shakespeare" at San Francisco State some 15 or so years ago when I took an animation course there. I've raved about this particular film for years to friends far and wide.

Thank you for the joy of your work...

Thanks for all your
