Volumes is a series for artists to create audio responses to literature.
These are not designed necessarily to accompany the book whilst reading it (although this would probably work a treat) but to create a musical response to it. We usually need to wait until a book is adapted to screen before it gets a soundtrack, but there is so much world to respond to in a book. Volumes is a way to explore different ways in which stories and literature can be interpreted musically.
Volumes’ soundtracks feel more freeform than the typical film scores most people are used to. Unencumbered by thoughts of story-structures, moods and narratives, book soundtracks can instead explore themes, thoughts and emotions. It’s [the] ability to catch a glimpse of the world through someone’s else eyes that elevates Volumes from a collection of mixes into something more profound. Loud & Quiet
