From New York to Afghanistan to Seville and beyond, each character is counterpoint to one another, set inexorably on a path for redemption.This highly nuanced work of literary fiction is accompanied by a six track musical concept album. The music displays a diverse array of styles and genres, ranging from rock to classical, from metal to singer/songwriter. Professionally recorded/mastered and streaming direct from Soundcloud (available for download on iTunes), these works of music develop the central thematic material in the story by means of both original lyrics and famous poems (Kipling's If and Frost's The road not taken). The three vocalists personify the three main characters, while a host of talented musicians support with acoustic/electric guitars, piano, cello, drums, and bass.Functionality:- Stream music (six tracks = 30 minutes)- Swipe between pages like an e-reader- Images, handwritten text, maps, and external resources are built into the story- Bookmarking- Share the app on social mediaThe app fully incorporates the musical experience with the literary text in a multi-media hybrid for all mobile devices.
