Sometimes finding that right piece of music to write to can unlock a door you didn’t even know was there. Usually when I find a perfect song I will loop it for days, weeks, even months while I write. It might seem a little kooky (at least my husband has told me so) but it works for me.
Here is some of the music that I listened to while writing The Memory Painter:
Inside The Great Pyramid by Paul Horn*This album was actually recorded inside the Great Pyramid in the 1970’s. Want to feel like you’re standing inside the Great Pyramid? Play Paul Horn!

For the Katarina & Bartolomeo’s chapters, this video: “Spiegel im Spiegel” performed by Anne Akiko Meyers playing the Vieuxtemps.
Forest, by George Winston
