    Author Mark Z. Danielewski has recorded audio of his book “Only Revolutions” using some of Danny’s music as background. It doesn’t surpise me that Danny contributed the music, as he is a big fan of Mark’s sister, singer/songwriter Poe. Check out the link for some audio samples.

    This sounds so exciting! I loved “House of Leaves” (that’s something that could never be an audio-book, huh? ;-)), but wait wait wait. Overeager Overture was recorded?? Fabulous!
    And the wedding music! ajsghf%^&$$%. whoa. *squeals* (sorry for this typographic display of excitement )

    I know, I know, those will just be three or four bars between chapters, right. Whatever. *grins*

    House of Leaves was fantastic. Only Revolutions is ghastly, hoping its gimmick will distract people from the fact that it is not well written. I don’t see how OR will work as an audiobook either. At least we get some Elfman music out of it.

    Only on itunes though, apparently. I will need to find a way to get this (since Poland is itunes’ third world still, for now). ;-)

    Well, if you go to iTunes and track down “Only Revolutions (Reel 4)” the first clip is tracked almost completely with Elfman’s Overeager Overture.
