PS: I create playlists for each of my writing projects, and oftentimes for characters, settings and some scenes. Really looking forward to your experiments.
Wonderful. I'm gathering here that many writers work with music in some way. I have a background soundtrack for most of the longer fiction I write, not necessarily while I'm writing (though sometimes) but around the writing, to keep me feeling the fictional world. I've done that especially for my screenplays, but I also often conceive a lot of my fiction simultaneously as film and score it with my musical choices. I tried that with my short memoir yesterday, but that's a song on YouTube, with lyrics, which is a challenge for reading. But your project - an original score in collaboration. Brilliant. Yes, we need a name for the new form . . . Can't wait.
I've been very lucky to have been approached by Good Giraffe Studio for this, a connection made here, an idea, and off we go with this experiment. My goodness I'm learning on the hoof the art of recording narrative, many false starts, retakes, hair-tearing and I'm still very much a beginner, but my motto on Substack is Fail Out Loud, and I'm finding, as I'm sure you'll agree, that such is the supportive community here that it makes these experiments more fun than frightening. And yes, increasingly, the musicians are emerging from within the writers, these people of many talents. May our collaborations grow. I'm making soundscapes A Thing.
Oh how exciting!

I did that for my first novel, and for In Judgement Of Others….
Have you read any Mark Fisher? He turned me on to The Caretaker.
I have not. But I will now....
And, of course, he was a huge fan of Joy Division.
Ah….
