There should be a website where you can find playlists to use as soundtracks while reading specific books
>>21804991There can be song per chapter, which should loop well and fit the vibeFurthermore everyone should be able to suggest a song, and you can vote on which song fits the chapter the most
This is a cool idea. I personally wouldn't use it because music (even classical or modern instrumental music) distracts me too much while reading. You should make such a site if you have the means op. I could see it being at least popular enough to create and maintain. I'll bet tons of great things we have were ideas had by some random guy before being actually brought into existence by someone else. Make that shit happen man.
>>21804991Easy with a digital application. Reading Crime and Punishment on your notebook with each scene having a specific fitting musical track. Basically visual novel style.

>t. tranny zoomer whose brain is addled by ChinkTok
>>21805011>Cliffhanger twist at the end of a chapter>looping song suddenly speeds up and gets very dramatic>song loops back to beginning because I am a slow reader and only halfway through the chapter>now I know something is gonna happen
>>21804991That would be incredible reddit.
>>21804991>not adapting the work you read into a movie while reading itlmao fucking pleb, it's way more fun If you make the sound effects and a fitting soundtrack up in your head, listening to music while reading robs you of that experience
>>21804991I read into the cuckoo's nest to the soundtrack of old duster demos and it worked surprisingly well.
>>21804991does gpt4 have an opinion? i refuse to learn how to use it
>>21806622That's a great idea! There are already websites and apps that offer curated playlists for various moods and activities, so it wouldn't be too difficult to create a website that provides playlists specifically tailored to different books.Here's how such a website could work:1. Users can search for a book title or author and the website will suggest a playlist based on the theme, setting, mood, or genre of the book.2. Users can also browse playlists that have been created by other users or by the website's curators. They can leave ratings and reviews to help others decide which playlists to listen to.3. The playlists could be available on popular music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, or they could be compiled into a standalone playlist on the website itself.4. The website could also include information about the book, such as a synopsis, author bio, and links to purchase the book or related merchandise.5. To enhance the user experience, the website could suggest other books based on the user's search history, listening habits, or reading preferences.Overall, such a website could be a valuable resource for book lovers who want to enhance their reading experience with music. It could also be a great way to discover new books and music that you might not have otherwise found.

>>21804991alright I just dl'd call of the wild (jack london), any recs as to what I should listen to?
>>21804991yeah i liked that idea when i had it and posted it to /lit/ years ago too
>>21806622here's what gpt4 gave as an example for Brave New World
>>21806819>>21806650>>21806622>>21804991How about you faggots actually begin reading books? You are bottomless consumers whose thirst for consumption cannot be quenched. You do not need a special soundtrack to read books, just fucking read. It's pathetic.>OMG, I wish there was a funkopop for this particular novel! How perfect would it be to have that funkopop for this book!>Yessss, I would love to have this narrator read this novel to me while I watched this b-roll footage that is paired to the setting of this novel. Soooooo immersive! Get your shit together

brown noise is best
>>21804991If you're reading an even halfway decent book that's just not fucking possible. Even if not that, its still pretty much impossible. Trust me, I've tried. As a story evolves the music must as well or else it becomes dissonant. And not only would you have to create a playlist that generally fits the overall atmosphere and themes of the story, but that would also have to evolve at the same pace as the scene changes and then fit said scene changes on top of that. Not only an unbelievably daunting task, but downright impossible considering people have different reading speeds. You'd have to read a story many many times to create a Playlist that's relatively close to encapsulating the story itself. And even then, if you managed to achieve that, it would only likely work for you and a very small percentage of other people that would just so happen to share your reading speed. Sounds like you might be interested in opera. Good luck. Even modern opera tends to stay quite traditional. It's already so fucking niche in modernity for being a complex and drawn out medium (a short attention span issue), that finding even modernized opera still discovers it as niche to a genre and stagnant overall in terms of musical evolution. Life seems short but it's actually quite long. Learn to write music and literature. Create a modern opera. Die in obscurity and perhaps if humanity survives long enough scholars and contrarians down the road can uncover your works and bring them into praise. My main point here? Don't do it to be known for it. Do it because you need it to be done. Because you want it so badly at a time where you just so happen to be the one who needs to create it. The true burden of the artist.
>>21808327or play ambient music from video games which was designed to be non-intrusive
>>21808337Not true. You're still creating an atmosphere. Even a "non-intrusive ambient" (whatever that is in your mind) track creates an atmosphere. That's what music does. And if the scene in a book becomes counter to the atmosphere being perpetuated by the ambient track it becomes dissonant and weakens immersion. Or if the scene does manage to embody the atmosphere of the music, but then changes, it completely jars immersion and can make either listening to the music or reading (really the dissonant combination of the two) more exhausting and distracting than if only doing one of them alone.
Reading should be done in silence. If you want music accompanied with novels there are radio dramas that are just audio books but with different voices for the characters and music. Pretty much a movie but without the visuals.
I just want to contribute by saying that reading The Road while listening to A# F# ∞ is actually incredible, and I'm usually >>21809911 this kind of anon.
>>21804991>not singing the words in the book aloud to the tone of the tale
>>21804991I remember reading some korean webmanga that had this function on the sitealthough it got annoying when it looped
>>21811006Good god that would take forever.
