Synopsis: Twenty-eight-year-old Simon Naulty is the front man and songwriter for heavy metal band Putrescent Seepage and alternative folk band Dark Green Skeletons. As live music in Melbourne comes to screeching halt during the height of COVID-19, he begins working as a laborer. Unfortunately for Simon things take a turn for the worst. Simon was involved in a workplace accident that has left him injured, bored and alone. The Sound of Broken Music is a 4-minute documentary which depicts Simon’s traumatic experience getting back into playing music.
