Armed with Madness - the trailer!

This short but perfectly-formed trailer has been released to promote the new graphic biography by Mary M Talbot and Bryan Talbot, Armed With Madness: The Surreal Leonora Carrington. Directed and edited by designer Jordan Smith, it features music composed by Gary Lloyd.

Jordan has collaborated with Bryan before, notably producing the cover to Alice in Sunderland, based on Bryan's pencil rough.

Gary, who in the past has worked on projects with Alan Moore and Iain Banks among others, composed the music for the modern dance performance piece When You Light a Candle You Also Cast a Shadow, featuring a poetry cycle written by Mary. The trailer soundtrack includes a specially recorded cameo by composer-musician Gary Carpenter playing the same Nordic Harp that he used for Willow's Song in the film The Wicker Man (1973). The vocals are by Isabelle Mohan.

Armed With Madness: The Surreal Leonora Carrington is published in April in the USA and May in the UK by Self-Made Hero.
