‘Broken atmospheres and clashes of sensation’ – JJ Marsh
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on August 12, 2013
I’m rather fond of Jan Garbarek and Aphex Twin, and I’m delighted to see them working their influences on my guest this week. A crime novelist, she gathers soundtracks to make sure her stories stay true to the mood she has envisaged for them. She looks for music with a sense of tension, loss, instability and says that Garbarek in particular tells her stories – and even gave her a title. She’s also spent years searching for a very influential novel she read as a teenager. If you can identify it, she might send you a special prize (although she might be joking). She is JJ Marsh and she’ll be here on Wednesday with her Undercover Soundtrack.
‘To draw a curtain around a mental space’ – Bryan Furuness
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on July 1, 2013
My guest this week measures his novels in rainstorms. More accurately, I should say he measures them in how many times he has listened to one rainstorm during the writing. His novel is about a dreamy and messianic boy, and he used a loop of weather noises to cocoon himself in a mental space where he felt composed enough to write. The result is a meditative post, perhaps perfect for summer days in the drowsy grip of a heatwave. His name is Bryan Furuness and he’ll be here on Wednesday with his Undercover Soundtrack.
