MUSIC FOR ANOTHER WORLD: THE ANTHOLOGY

Music For Another World: the Anthology

The anthology will be a collection of science fiction and fantasy stories on the theme of music.

Music: intangible, emotional, mathematical, universal, tribal, disposable, ethereal, profitable. Music is increasingly dominated by the machines we have built, yet remains as mysterious as the first pipe made from bone. Music is part of us, yet somehow is outside us; or is greater than us; or is a threat to our morals. Music is simply noise...Music For Another World is an anthology of stories on what music means to us and what it does to us, how we shape and it, and how it might shape us.Scheduled for the summer. Keep your ears open…
