Music Is Torture

★★★★ ‘thought provoking, memorable, one-off stuff’ - The Herald on Biding Time (remix) Music Is Torture is a dark comedy set in Limbo recording studios, where owner Jake has been recording the same album by the same band for the past fifteen years. Everyone else gets the breaks… But Jake still has a ticket in the music industry lottery and unbeknown to him a windfall could be heading his way. He might just have to make a few… compromises. Inspired by the research of musicologist and human rights campaigner Dr Morag J Grant into music torture. Music Is Torture features new songs by A Band Called Quinn as Dawnings. Written by Louise Quinn Directed by Ben Harrison (Grid Iron) Sound Design by Bal Cooke Touring Scotland May/June 2017 #MusicIsTorture
