mtriplettLooking for a Bradbury short story
At least I believe it to be one of Mr. Bradbury's shorts.
It's about a space crew that comes under trouble; one member escapes in a pod and crash-lands on a strange planet of many suns -- each giving a different color and "sound" to the world around him. He slowly starts to become aware of the people that live around him, all using musical sound to communicate.
He is later rescued and goes crazy, hearing all the mechanical noise in the spaceship, and jettisons himself to deep space.
Anyway - I'm looking for the name of the story, and also information on getting the rights to make a short film from Mr. Bradbury. Any help would be most welcomed.
