Sotto Voce Playlist

Visit 8-tracks to listen to the Sotto Voce playlist.

This is part of a playlist that amassed while I was writing Sotto Voce, and the different styles—from agrarian folk to blues standards to electronica—represented different elements of and characters in the story. Tom is introduced to Sotto Voce while he's still in New York City, and Moby's In My Heart had the feel of his commute in to that first meeting with Brooke. But when he moves to California, the feel and tempo shifts to the more organic sounds of Andrew Bird and The Goat Rodeo Sessions, featuring Yo Yo Ma and Stuart Duncan. And Greg, a musician, is represented by blues, soul and rock classics. There are also moments from the story in this list, from the Banda music playing in the vineyard to Tom silently packing his bags to some acoustic Pearl Jam.
