Altered Carbon Playlist
A neon-noir mix for Takeshi Kovacs’s journey through a future where bodies can be replaced but power, violence, and memory endure. The instrumentals trace the city’s cold systems and sudden danger; the vocal tracks add the bruised human voices of identity, desire, and survival.
