The In Body, In Mind and In Living Memory Spotify Playlists contain the music embedded in the narrative, in the order it appears in the books.
Playlists can be experienced as a soundtrack to remind you of the scenes in the book in which music was either there in the background to help develop the atmosphere, or right in the foreground where the lyrics amplified what was going on for the characters.
Playlists can also be experienced as an accompaniment to reading, so that each time a piece of music comes up on the page, you can play it while you contemplate how it fits into the story.
There are four playlists, as follows:
- The In Body, In Mind First Edition Playlist, with all the music from the first printed edition.
- The In Body, In Mind Expurgated Playlist, with almost all the music from the first printed edition, minus one track which might not be appropriate if there are young ears listening.
- The In Body, In Mind Director’s Cut Playlist, with all the music from the first draft of the manuscript.
- The In Living Memory First Edition Playlist, with all the music from the first printed edition, plus a few tracks that didn’t make the final cut.
To access the links to the playlists, please navigate to the Shop. The playlists are free, and are available now.
