Talks With Music

First, there are the tiny stories from the mind (and vocal chords) of Derek Leif: 

—The shy man who just wants to dance with the girl of his dreams, and the performing circus bear who gives him lessons. 

—The man who tells his girlfriend that bees have transformed him into a human hive…and that she’s next. 

—The cyborgs who enslave humanity and grow depressed, as they can’t quite figure out what to do next. 

Then there are the miniature soundtracks from the mind (and instruments) of Henning Ohlenbusch. 

The result is a collection of pocket sized comedies and dramas, compulsively listenable, and, in the case of the Kindle releases—which feature five bonus stories by Derek in addition to the story/music collaborations—compulsively readable. 

Stories. Music. Together.  This is TalksWithMusic. Hear. Read. Enjoy.
