Mark Rae - The Caterpillar Club
The Caterpillar Club soundtrack reflects the inherent questions posed by the debut novel by Mark Rae. Can we reinvent ourselves? Embrace forgiveness? Make life begin again?
The complex rhythms, chords and melodies of the electronic soundtrack weave through the emotions of the chapters in instrumental form. West London plays its part, it is here that the book is set and the areas musical DNA courses through the soundtrack’s veins. European soul is carved from the broken echoes of a world split between the analogue and digital. A soundtrack searching deep down for a life force, glimmering somewhere within. The drums are sampled from the machines of the past. Is it a part of Simon’s past that has come to haunt him?
This album was put together during the writing of Mark Rae's forthcoming debut novel, which was released in hardback on Sept 2021.
