Lyrics:

"I felt the moment of transition from life to death approaching me minute by minute. I gave up my effort to sleep and to let my thoughts wander. My short life of 21 years is going to switch to the world of death tomorrow. 

I thought there were more things I wanted to do in my life, but then I wasn't sure what it was that I wanted to do. I didn't know what it was, but I was certain there was still much that I had left to do ..."

Inspired by my love of seedy 70s crime-thrillers and corny 80s slashers, HEADPHONE SPLITTER tells the story of an unassuming Brooklyn bird-watcher named Matt Marks, his girlfriend Baby Schenkerian, and a serial murderer the press has dubbed "The Headphone Splitter" who Matt discovers is systematically murdering headphone-wearing residents across Brooklyn. Set around various Brooklyn landmarks, HEADPHONE SPLITTER is a love letter to my adopted home, expressed through a series of grisly killings around its lovely, expansive terrain.
