Alan Yentob takes a look at the latest project of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, an operatic adaptation of Wu Cheng'en's epic novel 'Monkey: Journey to the West' in collaboration with acclaimed theatre and opera director Chen Shi-Zheng.

Inspired by Gustav Mahler's "Kindertotenlieder," made for the Tate Gallery, London, and has never been released. "There's something we did for the Tate Gallery, Songs for Dead Children, which we can't release because we can't clear the music rights. It's like £6000."
