"Dreams from a Rainbow Sea", is the first collaboration of two international award-winning artists of the sea; Michael Aw & Leandro Blanco. Based on Michael Aw's pictorial almanac of the same name, this music documentary depicts vivid kaleidoscopic imagery from nature's richest realm to thought provoking true life nightmares, filmed undercover, of the exploitation of endangered marine species such as sea turtles, sharks and Napoleon wrasse.

While the story- telling segments are immersed in amorphous and ethereal music scores, the tempo and pulse of the music videos are blends of new age, reggae and rock cultures. The scenes are played to the sound of the sea, the music immersed in the visuals and from time to time light shimmers through the infinite to take you to another dimension in the Rainbow Sea. Each time you let the music of Miquel Zelada transport you through the journey in a rainbow sea, they become more fascinating. Enjoy the dreams.
