: A small introduction:

: When I read books I always listen to music at the same time. But after five minutes or so and the book is good, I don't here the music anymore. But when I hear the music later, it instantly reminds me of the book I read at that time.

: some books and music:

: Cugel -> Mask from Vangelis
: planet of adventure -> concerts in China, Jean-Michel Jarre
: Lyonesse -> The Last emperor, Sakamoto et al.

: So my question:

: Have any of you music associated with Vance books? What music?

: Menno

Excellent question and if I read for hours on end, I might associate a particular story or novel with the music, even as I remember the music driving home from the hospital the night my son was born. It's always there.

Generally I listen to jazz, no vocals please, for Vance or any reading. Jazz being appropriate for Jack and for the creative esthetic that takes place in a Vance reader's mind when recreating the worlds of Jack Vance. Hmmm, sounds like a good title there...
