Mindwebs Music

was drawn from a wide selection jazz, classical, folk, rock, and electronic and encompasses dozens of different styles.

It is hard to describe the role that music plays in audio drama because it works directly on the subconscious mind and profoundly influences our emotions. It can be used to create suspense, emphasize chaos, evoke confusion, symbolize love, balance mood and tempo, reinforce dialogue, contrast thoughts with actions, underscore conflict, and embody nostalgia. Michael Hanson's genius was in matching music to the stories he presented. This is not a skill that is easily learned and, in Mr Hanson's case, was the result of a life-long passion for both music and storytelling.

The table below lists all the music that I have been able to identify and is a work-in-progress. Genres are bit tricky as albums often fall into multiple genres. When in doubt, I have relied on Discogs. I will update the table as each new episode is released, but I can certainly use help. Below the table are short clips of all the pieces I have not been able to identify... organized by genre. If you can identify any piece, and would like to share your discoveries, please let me know. I'll be happy to credit you with the find.
