Another wonders if a composer's search for the right five notes to complete his project has more to it than pitch and rhythm. A third sees two would-be criminals, stuck in time, playing darts in the back room of a nameless pub, while they await word of why they are there and what's to happen to them. 2016-06-13T07:00:00Z text application/pdf http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/3022 http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4032&context=open_access_etds Dissertations and Theses PDXScholar Identity (Philosophical concept) -- Fiction Assisted suicide -- Fiction Composers -- Fiction Fiction
