\u201eWhen it first made headlines in 2010, Jason Leach\u2019s UK-based company And Vinyly \u2013 which presses the ashes of the deceased into vinyl records for loved ones wishing to hold onto their memory \u2013 appeared to be something of a macabre novelty. But there might be more to preserving the departed (quite literally) on records than first meets the eye \u2013 and ear. Hearing Madge explores how Leach\u2019s venture was given new meaning when he was approached by a man looking to save his mother\u2019s recollections that he had recorded shortly before her death. Surprisingly touching, Andrea Lewis\u2019s short documentary is both a profile of an unusual business and a thought-provoking contemplation of the ways we chose to remember the dead.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
