Melophobia
Musician and writer Paul Sirett's true story about losing his hearing and finding himself, with a little help from philosophy, friendship and the pure stubborn need to play,
After a freak accident wrecks his hearing, a musician finds music - and life - distorted beyond recognition. With Sartre and Heidegger arguing in his head, he must face the biggest question of all: if you can’t trust what you hear, who are you?
A raw, funny, existential audio journey through trauma, recovery, and the messy art of being alive.
Written and performed by award-winning writer/ Musician Paul Sirett
