5 mixes for this book

This playlist follows Piranesi from the quiet wonder of the House and its imprisoned sea through the unease of fractured memory and the revelation of another person’s designs. Spacious instrumentals evoke halls, tides, and statues; the vocal songs trace solitude, identity, trust, and the possibility of returning to the wider world.
