Envisioning the world of Whocate through music

The latest mad inspiration to creating the world of Whocate and House Whoticore came from a source that had not come to me in a while – the world of music. Music has always fueled my imagination and been an inspiration for new scenes in my stories. Tracks that seems to be the backdrop to a scene as if in a movie playing out in my mind enhance my writing and take it to depths not attainable before.

I ran across spotify.com (an online music player) a few weeks ago and created a playlist with Between Interval’s breathtaking album “The Edge of a Fairytale”. Interval has become my new, favorite creator of electronic ambiance music – and that is an honor I have not given an album since 2001’s debut of Patrick O’Hearn’s incredibly beautiful album So Flows the Current.

My love affair with Between Interval happened slowly as I kept the music playing softly in the background while I worked on my day job clients. It was when I was driving or writing other scenes when I had a good quality sound system behind the music, that scenes unfolded to the haunted ambiance that exists at The Edge of a Fairytale.
