Product Description

Book Description

What does music do for you? Is it an art form, mood enhancer,
or just something to jump around to? From the orchestra pit to the mosh pit
music inspires our lives, is universal and personal, futuristic yet
primordial. As the soundtrack trigger to a thousand memories it can be
seductive yet soulful, energetic and prophetic. But the immediacy of music
has rarely been exploited within literature. Until now…

In these stories writers use music as a springboard for their fiction,
their characters lives entwined with the metaphorical music of the spheres
as well as that played upon the stage. Like the mid-length EP, Extended
Play showcases work of longer length than the average story, allowing
greater characterisation, depth of theme, and complexity of plot, whilst
still benefiting from the conciseness of the short. This anthology brings
new meaning to the phrase one hit wonders.

Accompanying the fiction, songwriters comment on how fiction has influenced
their music, with contributions from Jean-Jacques Burnel (Stranglers),
Chris Stein (Blondie), Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), Sean
