I owe an enormous musical debt to Joel Grip. He was the one who pushed me to complete The Violencestring and who acted as musical director for what in hindsight was an insane concept. Our goal was to freely improvise an entire new musical.
The story was about a boy whose step-parents are werewolves. And the majority of lyrics that made up the libretto were my own translations of religious hymns spanning thousands of years and several cultures. Somehow we managed to get the whole thing recorded and Matt guided me through the production process as I'd never taken on something so big.
