Spectrum
Spectrum is a frenetic, genre-bending, formally inventive story about the magic and power of music with words by Rick Quinn and visuals by Dave Chisholm (Chasin' the Bird, Miles Davis and The Search for the Sound).
Melody Parker is losing her mind. She’s living on the streets of Seattle during the WTO protests of 1999. She is seeing things: androids, aliens, pigs in high fashion, and a creature named Echo—one of the Sustained, elemental beings with the power to alter reality through music.
Echo invites Melody to join her as she brings about the end of the world. As Melody tries to escape this strange woman, suppressed memories from across vast spans of time flood into her awareness, bringing her very identity into question.
