Fried Peaches: The Soundtrack and Mixes

The soundtrack for Fried Peaches is comprised of three mixes titled Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3. Listen along in the background with each corresponding part of the novel to enhance your journey. Or listen after a reading session while you're digesting the words.

Music is utilized in film to manipulate mood and atmosphere. I'm trying to do the same with these curated mixes (available on Spotify and YouTube).

Spotify: Peaches, Act 1 - Peaches, Act 2 - Peaches, Act 3
