music from THE UNSEEN


I wrote a novel. 

Music was a big part of my creative process. Here are twelve songs that were vital to the book. 

If you wanna jump past my introduction, the music starts at about 3:40 or so.

Lemme know if you want more!

Don't let Chris Knowles at 'The Secret Sun' blog hear that you were listening to songs from the album 'Mermaid Avenue', or you might trigger his PSTD about mermaids/sirens and Liz Fraser ;-)
