Booktrack: the new way to understand reading

 

Okay, my beloved minions: I have been silent for a long time, but I have found something that needs to be shared.

 

Behold, Booktrack!

 

I hear you asking: What is that?

 

I’m glad you ask. I’m positively giddy with excitement and can’t wait to enlighten you guys:

 


Simply put, @Booktrack is the best way to make reading the most absolute experience ever.

Yeah, as if it weren’t easy enough to get lost in books already, right?

 

I admit, when I got an e-mail from the guys over at Booktrack inviting me to participate in their community, I wasn’t very keen on it. I thought it would be just another random website trying to find a niche among authors, you know? I’m happy to report I was wrong.

 

I. Was. Wrong.

 

This is not about selecting a playlist and using songs to set your writing mood. This is about reading a book with a full Original Sountrack to it. Think ambiance sound, think tension moments, think epic music for the epic plot twists… Think also sound effects! You character smokes? Let’s hear him lighting up! Your character makes a call? Let’s hear the phone ringing! There’s a fight? Cool, let’s hear those grunts and punches!

 

Pure amazing.

 

I took the system for a play-drive, not expecting much, and became hooked within two lines. I mean it–the soundtracks add just that much to the writing. I couldn’t leave the site for hours!

 

Of course, after some listening, I just had to test their creation tools too… Please, can we all say “kid in Christmas morning”? That was me. I’m still flexing my creative muscles over there, but I’ve made a Booktrack for the first chapter of Silent Song and I think it turned out quite neat.

 

Here, check it out and let me know what you think:
