Jaeger Cormack is an artist/musician living in Vancouver. He has practiced his art since he was 21, and through 7 hospitalizations for schizoaffective disorder over the years. He is now 48. His music often does not deal with themes of illness, but the two songs published in Fig:ment Magazine do. Are You Talking To Me depicts the first time he had an episode of psychosis, and the subsequent hospitalization. Wrong With Me is a song about living in institutions and taking medication. The songs deal with the euphoria and the devastation of the illness.
