Today we kick off one of new recurring features – The Writer’s Soundtrack! A forum where writers get to share the music they listen to while writing and discuss why. We’ll be highlighting new music every Monday.
Split Rock by Fred Pelzer
Why I Listen – I keep several playlists for writing, depending on the project and tone, but this is easily my most “cinematic” – thanks in no small part to it featuring some actual movie soundtracks. Whenever I need beautiful, moving music to listen to without any lyrics so I can focus purely on emotion, this is the playlist I go to. Full of deep longing and melancholy, it is my preferred tonal register, and I would be honored for any of my movies to feature a score as great as these songs.
