Music has always been here—woven into human hearts, rituals, and memories. But now, forgotten by the world and unraveling from existence, Music is slipping away.

Tobias Staghorn, a grief-laden academic clinging to a half-remembered past, stumbles upon a mysterious guitar—and a stranger who hums with familiarity. As he hunts for vanished sounds and lost stories, Music, now little more than a ghost, clings to fading connections and the scattered remnants of their long, beautiful life.

Meanwhile, a child in Birmingham sings without knowing she is the last one who can still hear.

The Day Music Died is a genre-defying tale of queer love, memory, and mortality. At once intimate and cosmic, this is a story of what it means to be remembered, and what it costs to forget.
