**Content Warning: Themes of depression and suicidal ideation**

This is a studio recording of a very personal story I wrote about my childhood, edited together with a live recording of my music from "Under the Sheets," a show I co-created and performed with Pat McMaster for the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival.

In the original show, I told the story first, and then followed it with a live improvised interpretation of the story on electrified-acoustic violin, grounded in a loosely-planned structure. Each of the six nights I performed it were different, depending on my delivery of the story and the atmosphere in the audience.
