CALLED 🧬 the playlist
Soundscapes for a Dystopian World
As a DJ, I always take requests: what’s a song that screams dystopia to you?
Share a track that transports you to another world and maybe you'll inspire my next playlist!
Musical Theme: Dystopian Debut
Gearing up for the release of CALLED in the summer of 2024, I put together this playlist of songs that spoke to the world of the story, my feelings about writing my first novel, and the excitement leading up to its release.
A lost message. A deadly secret. A corrupt government. Join Clementine Jones in a gripping dystopian sci-fi series that unravels the battle between control and freedom in a future shaped by AI-driven power, corrupt oligarchs, and corporate-controlled governments.
Behind the Music
When I arrange songs into a playlist, I’m exploring a specific theme—in this case, the world of CALLED—but I also use a narrative structure. Mirroring the highs and lows of transformation, I use tracks 1, 13, and 25 as the respective overture, entr’acte, and curtain call to steal a bit of musical theatre lingo.
