Worse Places by Erin Jorgensen
Music, singing and text combine in a hypnotic voyage incorporating amplified and acoustic marimba, original music, Bach, a Disney tear-jerker, and stories of childhood visions and accidental evil.

Stories of a funny father, the music he inspired, and a window into Death With Dignity.
