Beware! Music can have a serious effect on you. Violins that 'sound like crying', rhythms that make you feel intoxicated 'when you have that bass thudding through you' and wild moods 'when it's all fast, loud and terribly vulgar'. Musicians explain how they convey feelings.

The Mind of a Murderer 2: The Mask of Madness
'Kenneth Bianchi is as cold a killer as I have met. The psychological defence is a bunch of hooey.'
(SERGEANT DUDLEY VARNEY ,
Los Angeles Police Department)
'Kenneth Bianchi is a clear-cut multiple personality'. (DR JOHN WATKINS ,
Professor of Psychiatry)
Was Kenneth Bianchi victim of the rare psychological disorder called multiple personality - an illness made famous in the film The Three Faces of Eve? Most of the experts thought so and diagnosed him insane. The police believed the psychiatrists' conclusions were ridiculous.
Part two of The Mind of a Murderer reveals the real mystery of Kenneth Bianchi 's true personality and again, using the videotapes, shows how the remarkable series of interviews threw a new and different light on the case and put psychiatry itself in the dock.
