Journey Five: Warnerversal Island
The island was inhabited by three tribes,
each entirely separate and willfully ignorant of the other, except for when the
necessities of everyday commerce forced them to interact. The Dylans (when left
to their own devices) made music the likes of which I had never heard, far
outstripping our own musicians and conveying such emotion as I never thought
possible. They were a small group, outnumbered by the Katters, who controlled
the island's food production. The Katters saw this love of music, but paid it
little attention.
Many hundreds of years in the past, the
Murdochs, a cunning minority group, realised the Katters would subconsciously
react to certain elements of the Dylan's music. Over the years they'd studied
these elements, isolating them and eventually removing them from musicality
entirely. They had so far distilled the elements which the Katters reacted to
as to be able to completely control them with a series of different high-pitched
screams, groans and smashing sounds. These sounds were played all over the
island, and in time, the Katters had taken them to be real music, as the Dylan's
were forced to make these crimes against creativity in order to survive.
