Multimedia Books - Nick Cave
While the film world continues in it's struggle to become cross platform and multimedia, it's reassuring to see that other mediums such as the traditional book face the same challenges.
Nick Cave's just released a new book 'The Death of Bunny Munro' and it comes with a selection of music and an i-phone application as well. The combination of Cave as an author and a musician is an obvious one, but could more books utilize music in their promotion and delivery?
Music and film is a natural match, soundtracks are a given, and novelizations of movies are common place. Could you create a series of short films to go with a literary release? - that's an idea that Susan Taylor Suchy explored at the FTI animation centre last year - and one that has great merit. Could a publisher release a book that is accompanies by a series of short films or animations, a series of video portraits of the main characters maybe?
