171: Symphony For The Deaf

Can we have a symphony for the deaf? Can you hear music without the sense of hearing? Inspired by a true story, Maurice's Symphony is a new film that tells the story of Maurice Matters who loses his hearing in an industrial accident and then, through a revolutionary procedure, prepares to enjoy his love of classical music once more. It's been made by a cast of many passionate people, lead by Alex Nakone and Andrei Gostin. We discuss How the story came into Alex's world via a patient, Ross Martin and his history with otosclerosis Why steampunk and what is steampunk How did you get this cast of actors and crew, including Nicholas Hope What is happening to community TV station 44 Also appearing in the Symphony For The Deaf episode In the musical pilgrimage, we'll hear from Leigh O'Donohue We now have a shop at Red Bubble.
