Music has the ability to alter our emotions, offer an escape from reality and makes the listening experience emerging and dynamic. Mood-motivated and theme-based listening is at odds with music traditionally organised by genre, artist or album. This publishing project showcases a small selection of these mood and thematic playlists created by Spotify and its users. The print-on-demand book can be purchased on Lulu; the EPUB version of the book can be previewed and downloaded for free via the Internet Archive; playlists and song previews can also be browsed on Spotify or Tumblr.

The Spotify Codes in the publication were sourced directly from the Spotify app. To access these playlists and listen to the songs: open the Spotify app on your phone > press ‘Search’ in the navigation bar > tap the camera icon > point your camera at the Spotify Code over a code within the book.
