This audio program offers a 6th anniversary remembrance of the death by knifing of Australian musician Darren Jones who was killed in an unprovoked attack while returning home from classes at the Victorian College of the Arts on February 23rd 2006.
This presentation was developed from a series of depth interviews with 11 people - most of them fellow musicians - who were part of Darren Jones' intimate circle. It explores the effects of such a horrifying event on a community of artists and friends and details the slow and painful process of healing that follows such an existential collapse.

The music heard in this program is drawn from the recordings of several bands in which Darren Jones participated as guitarist and vocalist. Also included are three musical tributes composed and performed by Nico Di Stefano, Ben Kelly and Dan Licht. The track "Bloodstains on the Mother" was composed and performed by fellow musician and friend Heath King who was tragically killed in a road accident in September 2008.
