Universal Ear
Graeme Cole
UNIVERSAL EAR is a lost adventure serial charting Harley Byrne’s ongoing mission: to capture and make available for download “all the world’s music, ever.”
Each episode sees Byrne travel to another time and place, where his efforts to find and record humanity’s strangest musics are hindered by his arch-enemy, Being, mysterious mistress of disguise.
We at L’Institute Zoom are attempting to reconstruct the missing films, as well as Byrne’s real-life memoirs from which the serial is adapted.
