A never before heard recording gives a fascinating glimpse into the work of a songwriter with experience of voice hearing.

In October 17, 1974, neuroscientist Peter Sterling and musician Dory Previn sat down to record an interview. Peter had written to Dory after developing a deep interest in her work, particularly how she used her experiences of voice hearing and psychiatric treatment in her songwriting.
